The toys-to-life video game Disney Infinity aims to get all things Star Wars right, so it’s bringing in a bad guy with a red-bladed lightsaber and a good guy in an X-wing flight suit.

No, not Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker — they’re already in the Infinity universe. But now those two icons are being joined by the likes of Kylo Ren and Poe Dameron, two main characters plucked from the upcoming new movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Their action figures ($13.99 each) will be playable in the Infinity Toy Box mode — which already houses tons of classic Disney, Pixar and Marvel superhero characters — as well as the Force Awakens play set ($34.99), which comes with heroes Rey and Finn. The new play set and individual characters arrive Dec. 18, the same day the film hits theaters.

It’s the only Force Awakens gaming experience coming out with the movie, according to John Vignocchi, vice president of production for Disney Infinity. While a whole other standalone game could have been released and sold well for Disney Interactive Studios, he says they feel “a responsibility as Disney to provide great value to parents” by giving Infinity players new content and more replayability for a lower price.

“We wanted there to be a lot of gameplay time but also depth in each one of the play sets,” adds John Blackburn, Infinity senior vice president and general manager.
