Re: A little diversion: Planets!
Possibly, though I always thought it weird that a potato shaped planet the size of Mars (Which cannot physically exist.. by the way)  would have a perfectly spherical moon (Which can exist, though likely would be somewhat irregular given its small size)
Maybe Kessel looks like a peanut because the Spice Spiders messed up the gravity by making so much spice or something like that.

Maybe you could say that when it was still molten, it was a lot closer to the Maw, and so formed in a disorted shape and rotates on it's axis incredibly slowly for a planet of it's size?

The moon could have been created later by impact matter.

Further more thanks to the anisotropic gravity field that held its birth, its composition is anisotropic too - so in other words its distribution of mass is uneven.
