Mystery Teapot? or Easter Egg?

Bonjour,

I just found the fourth Star Map (on Korriban). After exiting the Tomb, I walked directly across to the opposite Tomb (Tulak Hord) and discovered a strange black & red Teapot. Compared to my character it stands about 3 feet tall and a "hand" icon appears when you move the cursor over the teapot. A health bar also appears, but there doesn't seem to be a way to interact with it. Clicking on it does nothing and there doesn't seem to be a way to attack and break it.

I entered the tomb previously and the teapot wasn't there. Is this an easter egg someone knows about?

Thanks

Mosel

The Teapot is actually a default for the computer graphics or something along those lines(don't quote me on it) when the game has trouble loading images, it will resort to the teapot. It doesn't seem to do anything benifical or baneful for the PC or NPCs, it just appears due to some graphics error. Why a teapot though is beyond me...

Isn't a teapot one of the 'primitives' used in 3D modelling? Along with sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, Gordian knot, and other stuff I can't remember right now, a teapot is also one of the basic shapes usually used at the beginning.
