Rejected Star Wars merchandise is actually awesome

Rejected merchandise

Star Wars merchandise is nothing new — but a lot of really great stuff ends up on the cutting room floor.

It's all right; ToyOtter and Action Figure Insider are here with a new list of brilliant things you never knew were missing from your life. They've got a batch of rejected merchandise ideas from the launch of The Phantom Menace, back in 1999.

A galaxy really, really close

This Death Star projector puts you in the middle of a gently spinning cosmos. All you need are some teeny-tiny TIE Fighters, and you can recreate the infamous battle scene.

Space rage!

Instead of swearing and hammering on your car horn, vent your road rage by pressing Star Wars sound-effect buttons! Yes, that will work...

The Death Star takes a pummelling

More like slam Darth!

A swampland home for pencils

Because when someone says "Dagobah", we immediately think, "Pencils, hell yeah!"

Jedi in training

All this backpack needs are a few sound effects and the annoying tendency to steal your lunch.

You can actually purchase a different Yoda backpack from ThinkGeek.

Sith chips

Would this stop you from stealing someone's chips?

Mos Eisley Cantina, eat your heart out

Martinis be damned — serve up some Twi'lek twisters at your next shindig.

Salt vs. Pepper

Salt, pepper. White, black. Good, evil. Get it? OK, so it's a tenuous connection at best, but we still think that these salt and pepper shakers would take pride of place on any table.

Multipurpose R2D2

Is there anything that beepy little droid can't do?

Let there be light(saber)!

If it housed something like a Maglite, then this lightsaber torch would make an indispensable addition to our toolboxes.

Darth lava

Yes, let's mock the burns victim by filling him with the instrument of his torturous crippling.

Removable heads

Hey, this looks familiar. Where have we seen something like this before?

Imperial lounging

This is a pretty cool idea ... but a bean chair would be better, no?

Brain freeze

Well, if a man has to be frozen, you may as well make him delicious and refreshing.

ThinkGeek got onto this one, too ... sort of.

Galaxial golfing

Whether you're Sith or Jedi, there's no doubt that whacking a picture of your enemy's face with a golf club is a cathartic experience.

Don't forget to go check out the rest of the rejected products over on Action Figure Insider, as well as another batch here.

he Samsung Galaxy S8's fast speeds and fantastic curved screen make it a top phone for 2017, but the annoying fingerprint reader could sour your experience.
