Although it looks remarkably similar to Earth, the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory was actually located on the planet Alderaan. This planet was destroyed by the Death Star in the first Star Wars film.

So, if you like chocolate - you can thank Darth Vadar and his friends (and Willy Wonka - I suppose)
