Update: OK I’ve been doing some more research, trawling John Vignocchi’s Twitter mainly and found two very interesting tweets which support this idea of “May 4th Disney Infinity Star Wars” announcement.

First up, a Twitter user tweeted JV with the following “May 4th?” and JV replied with”May the 4th be with you as well…” whilst it’s not the biggest hint, you have to speculate (as I’ve done below) how well it would flow if Disney Interactive were to announce Star Wars on the 4th May. You can see this tweet below:

Secondly, is just a general tease at Disney Interactive announcing information during the month of May, and I have to highlight this is a very subtle hint.

Last up is the big one…the most obvious, annoying, classic JV style hint…a Twitter user messaged JV saying that they would like an announcement soon, to which JV replied “Be patient, Padawan…” I mean, comeeee onnnn!

And for those who do not know what a Padawan is referring to, it’s basically the name Jedi’s give those who are training to become a Jedi in the Star Wars series.

Message to Disney Interactive: If you do have Star Wars planned for Disney Infinity 3.0 then please use May 4th as an excellent PR stunt to promote the official announcement, it would make for a really cool marketing gimmick.

Please read: This is all speculation, rumour, my thoughts…nothing is official

But wait, is Star Wars going to be in Disney Infinity 3.0?

Well obviously I don’t know, speculation and rumours abound, many people are anticipating that Star Wars might indeed be part of Disney Infinity 3.0 and I’d have to agree.

Why might Star Wars be a part of Disney Infinity 3.0?

Firstly, John Vignocchi has teased about it a couple of times before, the one I remember the most is back in 2014 when he was interviewed about the launch of Disney Infinity 2.0 and Marvel and when asked about Star Wars he said “2015 isn’t so far, far away now…” I mean come on!

Secondly, if we look at what Walt Disney has planned for the Star Wars brand over the next 5 years it’s pretty epic and would go hand in hand with a separate Disney Infinity Star Wars product line, maybe a December 2015 release to tie in nicely with the newest film “The Force Awakens” directed by J.J Abrams which also puts it directly inline with Christmas sales.

Third, it would be an absolutely HUGE seller, we all know this – we’re not just talking about Disney Infinity fans here, or even Disney Infinity collectors but the absolutely gigantic Star Wars fan base, collectors and gamers.

Another question, that I am very curious about is how would Disney Interactive package and sell Star Wars?

I’d assume it would become a separate product line similar to Marvel, then what characters would be included in the Starter Pack? Would there be a special collectors edition including a death star as the Disney Infinity base, which could open up and inside you have separate moulded sections for each Star Wars character & when it’s connected to your console it lights up!

It could be a huge year for Star Wars if Disney Interactive do decide to launch this year, along with the film which is no doubt going to be massive (it’s J.J Abrams come on…) and DICE working on the latest Battlefront game (I can’t wait for this…) and then Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars, aghhh, do it Disney Interactive, just do it!

Anyway, that’s all for today – no big news, just had a couple of things I wanted to get off my chest.

What are your thoughts on Star Wars entering the Disney Infinity world?
