Sorry, I remembered the case as Taco Bell, so it didn't occur for me to follow that link...

My Google Fu is failing me, but I remember reading about a legal ruling a couple years back regarding a lawsuit between Taco Bell and Panera regarding a mall occupancy exclusivity contract. A Panera franchisee moved into a strip mall (read: no food court) with the agreement that no other "sandwich" shops be allowed to move in for a exclusivity period. The mall realtor a few months later leased a spot to Taco Bell, and Panera sued. The legal argument was that tacos and burrios were a kind of sandwich. Due to the wording of the Panera agreement, the judge ruled against them and the Taco Bell was permitted to stay.

I do wonder what the wording of the lease agreement would be if Panera wanted the intended kind of first mover advantage again...

I think Lucas rationalized that duplicated speech of Han's in the Special Editions by making it looked like an excuse Han rehearsed before hand. I'm sure if you were a smuggler of valuable goods, and you had to throw it overboard, you'd be keenly aware that you'd have to say something to your employer at some point...
