Whatever happened to all the ideas for Star Wars toys that got rejected by Palitoy? Let's take a look at the cast-offs from those prototyping brainstorming workshops.
The Planet Alderaan
It's just a box of rocks.... yes, it's the Planet Alderaan. Post-destruction, the play value of this toy was somewhat diminished.
Recreate the moisture farm massacre - Luke's aunt and uncle* killed by imperial stormtroopers all over again!!
*Burning corpses sold separately
Here are the action figures to go with the set:
By an amazing coincidence, someone else has a very similar idea: Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru (charred)
Genius.
That Dead Ewok™ off Return of the Jedi
We saw this poor wee creature mercilessly gunned down by Imperial Troops in Return of the Jedi. In a moving scene, his furry buddy tries to revive him, but alas, he has bitten the dust of Endor's moon.
Even in death, Ewoks represent a lucrative opportunity to sell playthings to Earthling younglings.
Or perhaps not.
The Force™ action figure
It's not an empty box. The force is an invisible energy, it surrounds us and binds the galaxy together.
So stop whingeing. It's not an empty box, it's the FORCE™, all right??

How about a lightsaber accessory pack with a Walrus man arm, Wompa arm, Luke's hand, and Vader's hand?

Sad Obi-Wan is sold with a Heart of The Force. Angry Anakin is sold with the Spine of The Force (but, of course, not the legs).
All of the Jedi Council action figures include a special piece of the intangible Living Force action figure. . . but there are no instructions for assembly!
I had a point, once. But I forgot it.

That was awesome.
I'm a big ole Star Wars Dork.
Any of my friends that are stumped as to what to get me, I could really go for that force...it's really in there. I can FEEL it man...
13/12/07 at 17:56
Don't forget the slain Obi-wan (just robes) and smoldering anakin."
Actually, I think they've got that one (Anakin), pretty sure my little brother has it. Comes with the mechanical limb attachments and parts of the Vader suit I believe.

but IMO this is just one small notch from the real action figures of miscellaneous minor characters who get only a few seconds of airtime - the action figures of the customers at the bar on tattoone (sp?) are a good example, they had no relevance to the story or action. Another example is the bounty hunters from the empire strikes back.
