Star Wars Merch That Never Was
February 12, 2008
Oh man, we sure wish some of these rejected product ideas pitched by Pepsi back in 1999 had seen the light of day — an AT-AT chair caddy? A Han in Carbonite mini-fridge? Princess Leia headphones? And the best of all, a Jabba the Hutt beanbag chair? The company did end up releasing some pretty cool life-size statues of Jar-Jar, Darth Maul, Yoda, and Watto, but come on, they couldn’t throw in a Jedi Mood Ring?
Let’s hope it’s not too late for some of these inspired ideas to eventually come down the pike. Until then, head on over to actionfigureinsider.com to check them out.

The Jabba Bean Bag Chair made it as far as the prototype stage. You can see a picture of it at the Star Wars Collector’s Archive:

Did you see this video documenting the house of the guy who runs Bathing Ape? He’s got a huge Star Wars collection.

Wow, these are amazing! I’d really go for the Bantha shoes, the AT-AT tv accessoire and the windowshield for the car. These are fantastic items

Moichandising, moichendising! Where the real money from the movie is made! Still, with the amount of “wonderful” memories we have left over from Episode 1, I’m surprised a lot of these items didn’t see the light of day…
