If it had, you damned well better believe he would have used it.

I hate it when people strongly make assertions that can barely be supported with logic. There's no way you can know that, Go-Mer.

More importantly, though, you act as if the original Star Wars and Empire Strikes back were the creations of George Lucas only. There is so much he didn't bother to care about with those first two films and thus let other people handle or have input on those elements. So much of the character and warmth of the series had nothing to do with Lucas. Fart jokes are more his style.
