"Maybe Asteroids Would Work Better, George..."

Here's another implausible fact about Chicken McNuggets...

When George Lucas was conceiving the scene where the Millennium Falcon escapes through the asteroid field in The Empire Strikes Back, he wasn't thinking of asteroids at all! No, no. He was thinking of his favorite food, the wonderfully tasty Chicken McNugget.

This image was recently unearthed from the Lucasfilm archives. Many Bothans died to bring you this jpg...
No word on what the Titanic Space Slug was originally intended to be. We'll have to get more Bothans on the case.
