There’s always been a fascination with alien food in sci-fi film and TV. While much of it appears to be oozing and wriggling on the plate, there’s a real-world earthly dish behind the field rations and roofleaf stew our heroes have to eat. As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, Mark Hamill gives us an insight into the nibbles he chowed down on Dagobah, including something Miss Piggy left behind (a sesame treat) and something else that might surprise you.

Remember that the next time you visit Galaxy’s Edge and order anything from the Dagobah section.
