Rejected Star Wars Merchandise


ToyOtter recalls some Star Wars products that he and his partners pitched to manufacturers a decade ago.
All told, we cranked out well over 100 concepts that were taken to final art, and easily 300 that didn’t make it that far. No part of Star Wars was too small to think about, no character too minor. I’ve never had a situation before or since where someone said to take your favorite subject and do whatever you want with it. Nothing was too crazy or expensive to try.

Some of their ideas were accepted, adapted, and manufactured. But the ones that weren’t are even more interesting! I suspect Alex would go for this grill. Link -via Everlasting Blort

Wow. These things actually look like viable products. I can't believe the Darth Vader gumball machine or the Jabba bean bag didn't make it. And the Taun Taun costume. That looks like a costume contest winner for shurrr.

An R2 smoker is brilliant. The slim, blue panels on the front could open up to modulate the temperature and, of course, smoke would pour out. The electric version would need a data jack electrical plug. What were the people at Lucasarts thinking when they vetoed this?
