1. It was a prank. A LEGO.com web designer was seeing what she could get

That is quite possible I think. There was a pre-promotional image of an
EXO-Force model with a prominent “XFORSKN” sticker on its groin (my copy is
lost unfortunately) and, more recently Star Wars had
this great promotion
on a mock up. Possibly the version of the site that was seen was never meant
to go live.

Heh. That’s even worse than the image of an actual Playboy pinup that can be
found on the box of a particular Hasbro Star Wars collectible. Seems that way
back when Star Wars was first filmed, the model makers had a slightly ribald
sense of humor, so they shrunk down a centerfold pinup and stuck it on the back
wall of the bridge of the Tantive IV. When Hasbro released a very short-lived
Collector’s Series of large starships, the photo they put on the box gives a
clear view of that pinup poster, though it’s only large enough that you can
identify it for what it is.
