Disney Infinity Fans

^ They were inspired by the SoTC, and that's only reflected in ONE gameplay mechanic. They're not trying to be SoTC. They've mentioned Star Fox as well, but they're not trying to be Star Fox either.

I think you're smudging the line between inspiration and emulation a little bit.
noun: inspiration
1. the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.

noun: emulation
1. obsolete : ambitious or envious rivalry
2. ambition or endeavor to equal or excel others (as in achievement)

Had they said they were trying to emulate SoTC, then yea, this could be a bit of a let down to players, and would be a bit insulting to the original. After all, this is intended to be played by kids as young as 7. Inspiration in their case just means drawing loose examples from their source material (the climbing of the beast), and has nothing to do with the quality or functionality in comparison to said original work.

For instance, as an artist, I can take inspiration from anything in nature, say a tree. I can paint that tree in any way I want, which could be so abstract as to be unrecognizable to you or it could be as literal as a photo-realistic masterpiece. Inspiration and emulation are two completely different things.

You guys should read "Steal Like An Artist" by Austin Kleon. Exceptional book.

I want everything to do with this playset. Easily the most anticipated playset of what they have revealed so far.

So is Bespin in "Rise" at all? I've not heard a single peep around that area, and some pretty important things happen there. Also, there's Lando, and it would be a huge "No" to not include him.

I swear that they said Bespin before. They've stated that you can get in your ship and fly to a variety of planets and moons. It has to be in there. I agree it is too important to leave out. There has to be a 2 player duel challenge on Cloud City for Luke and Vader.

Loved the At-At wrestle!

This is my most anticipated 3.0 play set

Sigh, this is the only playset that looks any good, but I'm very excited for it!
