Behind the scenes

"The power of the Marfalump idea is it's one, simple idea. It's not about Pepsi or Star Wars. It's about a character that loves both."
―A Pepsi spokesperson in "The Birth of Marfalump"[2]

Marfalump was a character created for a tie-in campaign between Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace and PepsiCo. The character was realized as a digital creation by Industrial Light & Magic Commercial Productions, who collaborated with advertising agency BBDO-New York.[1] Marfalump appeared exclusively in a series of Pepsi television commercials cross-promoting The Phantom Menace's theatrical and home video releases. In the commercials, he was voiced by Billy West. "Landing," the first commercial to feature Marfalump, began to air in late May 1999.[1] A short documentary titled "The Birth of Marfalump" also aired.[2]
