In most lab testing facilities that use mice, the lab technicians need to sit down with the rats for a while an pet them to calm down before injecting them with whatever solution they are using.

But it's also not entirely implausible that George Lucas didn't really have the most solid understanding of what Star Wars had grown into at that time, either.
