10 Star Wars Facts You Probably Already Knew Deep Down
1. It Took Years For An On-Screen Reference To A Bathroom To Happen
It seems fairly obvious that the various living beings found occupying this galaxy far, far away would have a place to do their business. But can you honestly remember a single moment in the Skywalker Saga when a character nipped off to the loo for a second mid-adventure?
And while you may have assumed that you at least saw some version of a Star Wars bathroom or toilet at one stage in the Original and Prequel Trilogies, in truth, it actually took nearly forty years for the first-ever canon lavatory to pop up in an on-screen Star Wars project.
Said "refresher" appeared in the sixth season of The Clone Wars during the "Orders" episode as Fives wandered into one in the middle of a clone bar on Coruscant.
From there, season three of Rebels also showed off an on-ship bathroom during the "Double Agent Droid" episode, with various toilet (a.k.a. vacc tube) appearances then coming in Andor and The Mandalorian in the years that followed, too.
It does seem somewhat bizarre to note that it took decades for the Star Wars universe to unleash its first few bathroom cameos. But the more you think about it, the more you've likely always known that this galaxy far, far away had long been oddly restroom-less when it came to the tales being told on-screen.
