Rather amusing names....
When I came across Kway Teow and Har Gau, I was wondering about Shu Mai and certainly enough, the name came up.

The hardships of settlement produced few cities of note on Felucia, including Kway Teow, Har Gau and Niango.
Prior to her departure, Shu Mai executed her contingency plan, releasing toxins into Felucia's far-reaching water table. The Jedi computer prodigy Ekria calculated that they stood a chance to stop the spread if they targeted the key pumping facilities in Har Gau, Jiaozi and Niango, so the Jedi teams separated to march overland through the dense underbrush to reach these heavily guarded sites.
goodness! I am feeling a renewed
hunger for Star Wars like I have never felt before

makes me wonder if "Revenge of the
Dim Sum dollies" is a sub-plot of "Revenge of the Sith"

Well, as I like to think, Lucas may hv visited S'pore at one time. He ate some Dim Sums at Chinatown & heard some kids shouting 'naboo' at each other. Later in evening he then went shopping at Mustafar

He may have gone to Chinatown, seen some of those masks there and got the inspiration for Darth Maul's face.

I suppose we will know if he decides to start Episode VII. Who knows, he may visit Little India.
Or the next alien will have the head of a merlion.

Yeah, scenes of
"Fine $1000"
"No Parking"
"Toilet 20 cents"
Phua Chu Kang saying "don't pray pray"
Imagine.....
Perhaps if we get real lucky, we will see a light sabre fight scene between char kway teow and mee rebus.

I
still can hardly believe that Lucas used the names Har Gao , Kway Teow and Shu Mai. I wonder if these were slipped in by his staff with a wink, and that he accepted them without realising that they were really chinese names for food !

they were probably working late nights, and ordering Chinese take-away dinners...
oh well, they had Squid Head, Prune Face.... so why not toss in some Chinese food as well
