My Mawhonic and Marfalump EXPERIANCE PEPSI.m4v

This is a little documentary on Star Wars Episode 1 and Pepsi which aired on tv in 1999. The Marphalump is a alien character who is crazy about Star Wars and loves drinking Pepsi. I sculpted and painted this Marphalump character to create a stand-in for a on set reference at Universal Studios, during shooting of the commercial. Also help the CGI artists.
I also portrayed Mawhonic the Taxi driver in the commercial and the Podracer Mawhonic in the movie as well, but only during the crash sequence.."Making a fist" at Sebulba. But that's Good enough for me! Enjoy!

@@EddieMillerStudios they reused the same commercial with new voice over, it was essentially reanimating a dead corpse at that point

Why is this on such a high layer of irony?

Thank you for helping make marfalump. He has brought me much joy

I love drinking Pepsi™️

[@purefoldnz3070]

I think that alien might be hooked an alien crack aka Pepsi. Those yellow eyes are a huge giveaway.

Yellow eyes of the sith

Don’t let the fucking dream die

[@elliothill3953]

I’m glad Mawhonic survived his brutal would-be death in the Boonta Eve Classic, only to settle into a lifestyle equally as treacherous as a NY cabbie in the late 90s.

Incredible!!

Crazy Alien!

"He's our connection. He's the connection between that fantasy that George Lucas is creating that people are just going to have a blast with this summer...and Pepsi!" (Tim Heidecker could not have pulled out a better line.)

[@lianaverwood9810]

Got to love they think that the connection to pepsi and star wars means alien that makes fun of star wars fans and he loves pepsi.
No wonder this didn't work.
This is mighty number nine levels of stupidity

This just popped up in my feed, I was watching this commercial the other day while editing a video for my channel, wanted to use a small clip but couldn't find a high quality version. I just made a scale model of the Episode One pod racing Pepsi Machine. Stoked to find this channel an see some of the background work into the pepsi ad campaign.
