    If you really, really want to go full meta, try this.

    The Lead Designer [let’s call him Jon] was a big fan of a fantasy franchine that featured all kinds of daring escapes from the bad guys castles.

    Jon decides to incorporate stuff from ‘Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers*’ into the design of the Death Star. And if anyone does point out that Corridor B-187 looks a lot like the Viper’s Palace of Horror, Jon can just say that the show was surprisingly advanced for it’s time.

    *Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers is an actual book by Harry Harrison, author of ‘Bill,the Galactic Hero’
