This is another piece of evidence that shows Lucas was drawing from material beyond his own imagination.
When seen from certain angles, Mimas resembles the Death Star, a fictional space station known from the film Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, which is said to be roughly 140 kilometres in diameter. This resemblance stems from the fact that Herschel can appear in Mimas's northern hemisphere, much like the concave disc of the Death Star's "superlaser". This is purely coincidental, as the first film was made nearly three years before the first close-up photographs of Mimas were taken.

Luke: "Wak Kab'nal, I wonder if he means old Ben Kab'nal."
C-3PO: "I beg your pardon, sir. But do you know what he's talking about?"
Luke: "Well, I don't know anyone named Wak Kab'nal, but old Ben lives out beyond the Dune sea. He's kind of a strange old hermit."
