Actually the Star Wars mythos is full of culinary references. I have it
on the highest authority that George Lucas originally intended the
conflict between the knights of Sith and Jedi as a satire on Swift's Big
Endians and Little Endians, using the acronyms _S_et _I_t _T_op _H_eavy,
and _J_udicious _E_nd-ups _D_enote _I_ntelligence, to denote the
conflict over the fate of the Great Boiled Egg, the Universe.

More recently the great food critic and experimental musician, Al
Yankovic, translated the name of the famous Central Asian delicacy, Qui
Gon Jin, borrowed for the Star Wars Mythos, as "toast". This may be an
oversimplification: the original recipe calls for a special loaf of
bread, shaped like a man, to be skewered with a glowing, red-hot poker.
Yes, I suppose, technically, Qui Gon Jin is toast.
