Rejected Pepsi Star Wars promo items

Inspiration

Geekologie found rejected Star Wars promo items from years ago. Most of them are great ideas and I wonder why were they rejected. I hate it when this happens. I've learned to deal with it, but it's so depressing when your supposedly great idea is turned down for silly reasons like budget, cultural taboos or being off brief. C'mon clients! Life's too short to be so rational. Let's celebrate creativity and enjoy the attention bloggers will give you regardless how inefficient the idea may seem at first. But then again there were not many blogs in 1999.

that stuff would have gone over great in the 80's. Especially Jabba the Beanbag.

If you're within Spike TV's reach, you should know that all six episodes will be airing, beginning this Friday, April 4th. Details at: http://origin.www.spike.com/starwars/.

Can't wait to see my two little boys' reactions to their first taste of Jedi Knights and Chewy!

This stuff is fantastic! Ivan, you deserve a medal for posting this. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and if those items were available today I'd own every single one. My personal fave - The Galactic Big Game Trophies. Hilarious. I would have bought every tropy. Oh and the sun shields for the car - classic. Too bad it never happened.
