Disney Store suggests Star Wars universe could be off the cards for Disney Infinity 2.0.
Disney Store made the comments on its Facebook page in response to questions brought on by an image of a Darth Vader figurine (pictured above), which stands on a base similar to that of existing Disney Infinity toys.

Conquest of the Skies to offer full 360 degree experience of Borneo.
The programme, titled 'Conquest of the Skies', is currently being filmed by Atlantic Productions and is said to immerse viewers in a full 360 degree view of Borneo.
"We're now filming for the Oculus Rift," Atlantic's commercial director John Morris told realscreen, "so when we filmed our recent flight in Borneo, we filmed with an eight-camera rig, so you got the full 360° experience."
Morris likens the new technology "to the beginning of the film industry" and says that he expects to see "millions" of Rift's to sell.
Spanning over two decades with seven core entries and numerous expansions, Sid Meier’s Civilization and the games that followed have become cornerstones of the gaming industry. With Civilization: Beyond Earth, developer Firaxis is finally taking a break from playing in the past, and instead is looking onward towards humanity’s future. There’s no better time than now to look back at this 4X strategy series’ evolution and rediscover the origins of these incredibly engrossing games. Unless, of course, you’re thinking of Civilization World. This ill-conceived Facebook game has been annexed from our list and has since been discontinued.
Sid Meier’s Civilization (1991)
was another unexpected turn of events. This game wasn’t just some wacky console offshoot; it was next official entry in the masterful Civilization series. Even so, Meier and his team at Firaxis weren’t afraid to once again shake up the most fundamental aspects of the Civilization formula. Chief among these was the game’s shift from playing on a square grid--a series mainstay since the very beginning--to hexagonal tiles. Military units could no longer be grouped on a single tile, and independent city-states were introduced. Together, these changes and many others acted as the series’ great equalizer. Newcomers and veterans alike had a new Civilization game to master.
