It's a little odd that we had a new Star Wars movie in 2016 but no video game to accompany it, but it has now been revealed that there were plans for interactive content based on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - the trouble is, it was attached to Disney Infinity 3.0, which had its plug pulled early last year.
According to Kotaku, a full playset was in development with Ninja Theory handling production. While work didn't get very far on the game, figures were apparently designed and prototyped.
Check out this amazing Baze Malbus figure, created by B Allen:

According to Allen, "a handful" of Rogue One characters were completed before the entire Disney Infinity project was canned.
Would you have purchased any of these figures had they made it into production? Let us know by posting a comment below.

Absolutely adored Rogue One; may have even bought a few of these figures despite zero interest in Disney Infinity.
It would have all come down to how they handled K-2.
Imagine the collector's tax on one of those! Employee's sale on eBay in 5 years time?
they can still do these. not like they stopped licensing. some enterprising individual can make use of the idea, but not bet so much that it requires billions to make sense.
Just walked past about 400 iron fist and drax infinity figures in Smyths that are reduced to £2.50 or 2 for 4 quid. That's why the game was canned.
And I was in there to order my Switch!
I thought Rogue 1 was fantastic. This should have been Episode 3 (Ep 1& 2 should have been combined to make Ep1, cut out a lot of the b@ll@cks, and Ep3 should be Ep2)
Only thing missing from Rogue 1 is the original score
no surprise here. I think toys to life has had its day. Nintendo should really try and be a bit more Innovative when it comes to content offered with amiibo, when it comes to Switch, otherwise collectors will lose interest. I have all released Smash amiibo simply because of the nostalgia factor, and having plastic representations of some pretty obscure characters. The Animal Crossing amiibo really don't carry the weight that some of the Smash figures do.
Loved Rogue One, and Baze would have been particularly awesome to play as with that machine gun blaster of his!
(And if they made him, there must be a ton of others...he was a very minor character).
Eh...the disney infinity games were horrible and boring...Toys To Life areas I think are dying quickly...too much and too expensive to collect, I'm sure Skylanders will be the next to go here soon, they're all the same. I have collected nintendo's Amiibo figures, but it's only because I enjoy collecting nintendo items and I have interest in Lego Dimensions, but it's still too expensive to buy the packs...guess the companies need to realize that they can't charge too much for them.
They should've shut down after the movie was out
Hopefully Star Wars becomes added to Lego Dimensions sooner than later!
2016: Disney cancels 'Disney Infinity' line of toys-to-life games and figurines.
2017: Disney licences Star Wars, Marvel and Indiana Jones to Travellers Tales
2017: Year 3 Lego Dimensions add-ons include Infinity War/Episode VIII Adventure Packs, Marvel Character Packs and Indiana Jones Level Packs
2018: I assemble the greatest DC/Marvel crossover superhero team to ever exist. (Cap, Bats, Ironman, Mr. T, The Doctor and Indy)
Got the Star Wars infinity stuff dirt cheap for my sons for Christmas and they are having fun with them. It's a shame they didnt get to finish rogue one or work on a rebels playset
Too bad infinity ain't what it used to be. Wait, does this mean we're now beyond infinity as in Buzz Lightyear's catchphrase?
I feel so... futuristic, man.
I certainly would pick the figurines even without the game content. But that's just me...
For toys to life to work, the games should be free and the toys unlock levels. That's the only way to really make it work, in my opinion.
Poor ninja theory.. they were probably happy to work on that until Disney pulled the plug
I think Amiibo and Lego Dimensions will be the only ones soon. Now that disney is out maybe they will let Lego dimensions have star wars, marvel and disney characters. Marvel vs dc or team up would be awesome
RIP Disney Infinity. Arguably best Disney video game product in ages (if not to date) and now half the reason I bought PS4.
Loved Disney Infinity but I'm so glad it's over. I couldn't reign in my spending and ultimately bought everything.
@samuelvictor Really? Stormtrooper, Rebel, or random alien backgrounder?
I need to know!
@samuelvictor U-Wing Pilot... Impressive. Most impressive.
@samuelvictor Hah, nice! I loved the movie and remembered the line immediately. It's notable. Part of Star Wars history. What should I check out from your IMDB page?
I have one credit on IMDB myself as a writer for the story on a short film (was a bit more involved than that, it was awesome seeing some of my concept art enhanced and shaped into props and costumes by a master: Jose Fernandez ).
Would have purchased a Rogue One set in a heart beat. The Star Wars playsets were the highlight of the entire Disney Infinity line. I still don't completely understand why it couldn't be salvaged or reinvented without abandoning the whole thing to be honest. For a company like Disney to scrap it, there must have been regular and heavy losses.
@samuelvictor In your bio... Woah, I'd love to hear anything about your experience with Don Bluth. I thought I might be a traditional animator at one point and his style was inspiring. Went to college for film/video/animation but never had real art training besides my own meandering. (If interested you can see some of my film/animation related stuff here: http://www.buzzabit.com/portfolio/create.html )
@samuelvictor Sweet. Thanks for sharing. Hope that animated movie gets made. It's sad that Western studios have mostly given up on it.
Yup I would have gotten these. My di collection is pretty big. Such a fun game, and an active community. Sad to see it go...
@Rogue76 So true, my collection is near complete save about seven power discs from blind bag purchases and four crystal figures. I have a near complete Amiibo collection as well, but Disney Infinity as a franchise was the most innovative with gameplay through their toybox in my opinion. Amiibo have done well, but Nintendo has played them well in not over producing figures. It would be nice if Nintendo could make at least one amiibo-centric game that had innovative uses of the figures. As is they are just amazingly detailed figurines with minimal practicality for in-game items, aside from Smash Bros of course.
