Microsoft is developing Kinect games that make use of Star Wars and Disney characters, according to the USA Today.

As part of the paper’s story detailing the name and games for the new Microsoft game controller – hours before the official unveiling – the report also outs key support from third parties including MTV Games, LucasArts, Disney.

Specifically, the report says "Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney," suggesting that these titles are being made-in house and not at the studios owned by those publishers.
