The Death Star was built by termites

In Kevin Smith's 1994 indie hit Clerks, the characters Randal and Dante discuss all of the plumbers, aluminum siding installers and other blameless independent contractors who were killed by the destruction of the second Death Star when it was still under construction in Return of the Jedi. Well, apparently George Lucas was listening, because in the clip above he addresses Randal and Dante specifically. (Although he does misidentify them as Jay and Silent Bob.)

The clip begins with the Clerks scene, followed by Lucas' rebuttal.
