26. "So Full Of Bantha Crap"

Star Wars Bantha

After Lando cheats his way to victory in the Sabacc game, Han declares that he's "so full of Bantha crap", referring to the gigantic, hairy mammals that reside on Tatooine.

Banthas have made intermittent appearances throughout both the original and prequel trilogies, played by an actual elephant and digitally created respectively (with the latter being one of George Lucas' few smart decisions to go digital, in the interest of animal welfare).

Nobody wants to think about what a bantha dump looks like, but now, you're unfortunately forced to. Cheers, Han.
