As a kid I had a demo CD of Dark Forces 2, and I HATED when the dianogas showed up... Icky, disgusting creatures.

Okay, so how come the Dianoga doesn't get crushed when the compactor operates?

How's this?
It does: the Dianoga was introduced to that vat as a microbial biological waste digester. Left unchecked it grows into a colony which acts like a massive creature (don't we all?), but this isn't a problem, as it gets squashed by the action of the compactor fairly regularly. The left over cells then start to regrow, and the dominant colony eventually becomes a new Dianoga creature (for a bit).
Very cod science, I know, but within Star Wars...

It's made of midichlorians.

The Dianoga always scares me.

If, as he claims, George Lucas is inspired by Japanese cinema, then why does the beast with the tentacles ignore Leia and molest Luke?

Dianoga- Whoa!.........Whoa!..........you're a dude?

Luke- Yes

Dianoga- Cut your hair
