That's actually true- I've seen the original models. It blew. The concept
modeler for A New Hope really left something to be desired... although his Star

At any rate, there are lots of food references- for example, the TIE Bomber is
often referred to as a "Double Chili TIE".
Another Falcon story is that the cockpit was originally supposed to rotate.
They didn't build it into the model, and later re-used the idea for the B-Wing
(and, of course, the Outrider in _Shadows of the Empire_).
