5 Ways Star Wars Makes Disney Infinity Better

Via Theverge.com:

The Disney Infinity games have always been filled with promise. From the first release in 2013, the premise has been appetizing for Disney fans: combine characters from properties ranging from The Incredibles to Pirates of the Caribbean, and throw them together in a virtual toy box where you can essentially build whatever you like.

But the latest game in the series improves on the formula quite a bit. And the best changes stem from the inclusion of Star Wars characters and worlds.
