Hail Citizens!

Welcome to the first issue of Legendary Hamburgers. Hopefully, a series of threads celebrating the greatest hamburgers in history and their enormous impact on human life.

The Millennium Falcon, Fastest Hamburger in the Universe.

The Millennium Falcon was not always elliptical in shape. Its original design was much more rocket-like, with a symmetrical, somewhat cylindrical body leading up to the characteristic cockpit up front. During Star Wars' production, however, a similar design appeared in the television show "Space: 1999." Rather than appear as an imitator, George Lucas called for the original Falcon design to be retooled as the Rebel blockade runner.
The new Falcon design was instead based off of Lucas' favorite food. Lucas would later say that the Falcon was inspired by a hamburger, with the outrigger cockpit being an olive off to the side.

Lucas' design is obviously awe-inspiring, but I think the original holds much more appeal.

Ahh paddyjoe, your kind words are well-received by burgerkind.
How was your lunch yesterday? I hope you found your all-beef patty everything you wanted it to be.

Juicy and delicious, thank you. Probably nothing like the fare from your esteemed BBQ though.
