Rejected Box for POTF Ewok Battle Wagon
Not only is this an uncut box flat (the right half at least), but the clincher here is what's written in the top corner in red magic marker. "Lucas rejected own artwork - is redoing 10/26". Attached to the cardboard is a "Packaging sign off Check List". The artwork on this thing is great because it shows the wagon in a bit of danger. Because it was still in development, color art was not printed. Maybe they rejected this art because it showed the vehicle in question toppling over. I guess that's not the greatest way to sell a product. Especially when kids usually wanted the good guys to win.
