Rejected Star Wars promotional products |
No matter what the movie or property, there are always some ideas that just don’t fly. Especially when it comes to the mega-merchandising of Star Wars. Some are neat, while some are better left unspoken of. Back in 1999 when Jar Jar was born, Pepsi and Lucasarts brainstormed and came up with a bunch of Star Wars promotional products. These are the rejects.
How about a Han Solo carbonite fridge? The Death Star cooking meat in the form of a grill? It’s a shame that these never came to be. I mean, how cool is an AT-AT Walker chair caddy? Or a Darth Vader gumball machine that dispenses mini death stars. See them all after the jump.

rejected? i’d buy all of those! death star weber is genius … gold!
omfg, rejected? coolest things ive ever seen. period.
I need them all….. need them…
lol, I’d like to see the ones that DID get through
star wars sucks
hehe just kidding… star wars is pretty cool. I’ve seen some pretty stupid stuff merchandised, and this isn’t that terrible. I mean, you can’t beat the action figure of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru (charred). At least these things I’d actually buy.
Well rub my nipples and slap my ass, if that ain’t some cool shit! They gotta start selling that there stuff to people! Still doesn’t beat Asian hookers though!
Anybody interested in making some in exchange for other items on this list? Not selling the item for a profit means not violating copyright. Also Lucas usually enjoys seeing fan stuff.
And the only reason why these would have been rejected is the marketing team did not research Star Wars fans, and how we will buy anything that looks decent dealing with the movies.
pretty sure that the Leia headphones do in fact exist
This is photoshopped i can tell from doing a few shops in my time and you can see the pixels are off
Spaceballs did the hair headphones, dunno how it was copyrighted in 1999 according to that pic..
“photoshopped Says:
“This is photoshopped i can tell from doing a few shops in my time and you can see the pixels are off”"
wow what a dumbass
dude… he’s jus playin
DONT FEED THE TROLLS!
someone f@%ed up big time deciding what got made
man, do i need that fancy dress for carnival!
Lol, I’d like that TaunTaun suit :b
want
I need the minifridge, the tauntaun costume, and the grill!
I want one of those fridges.
Yeah the fridge and grill are sweet.
Photoshopped? You’re right. The shadows are all wrong. And look at the reflections! Terrible.
I can see why they were rejected, those products are awful I would not rush out to buy some of those things and no matter how much of a fan I was. Those Princess Leia’s hair head phones my word why would any one want to wear those, but I suppose everyone is allowed their opinion.
I cant believe that there are so many of you think that its crazy that they were rejected.
What where these people thinking when they created these products, I think one has to be a HUGE fan of Star wars in order to think that these are fantastic.
Death Star Grill Want! As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL grilling station!
^ Your overcooking is your weakness.
Who decided that the Han Solo mini fridge was a bad idea? They must be slapped.
