How come you never see anyone in any "Star Wars" movie go to the bathroom?

scott1598 · 10-19-04, 01:10 PM

just wondering...

maybe GL could edit that in next time to make it more relaistic?

Groucho · 10-19-04, 01:12 PM

Couldn't you make this argument for about 99.9% of the movies out there? In general, movie characters don't go to the bathroom unless it's necessary for the plot.

Running out of ideas for new Star Wars threads?

As my theater instructor always told me: "drama is life with the boring parts taken out". That is why no one goes to the bathroom in movies.

edit: except Austin Powers

I wonder if darth vader has his own private bathroom or if he has to share it with all the stormtroopers? And does he have to take his gloves off when he wipes?

I'll bet Chewie really stinks it up big time, and forgets to use courtesy spray.

I once saw a cartoon (I think it was in an issue of the SW Insider magazine) of the inside of the bathroom of the cantina. It had all these differend funky-looking urinals on the wall. Anyone got that?

Sierra Disc · 10-20-04, 03:25 PM

catheters.

Jar Jar does step in a pile of feces so there is definately defication in the Star Wars universe.

Yeah, he must drop some hefty logs from time to time. I hear there's a cut scene where Chewie leaves the Falcon throneroom with a newspaper under his arm and belts out a mighty roar with the subtitle at the bottom: "Best give it another ten minutes before you go in there, mate". Maybe in the NEXT dvd release of the trilogy.

Way too much info! Folks, we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. We really must not have much to talk about.

The story of a boy, girl, their bowel movements and a galaxy.

I still wonder about those "Three Seeshells" in 'Demolition Man', but this sort of thing should just be left well enough alone.

Not a clue, but I've also wondering about this in 24...

As explained in many of the Star Wars novels:

Jabba the Hut takes massive disgusting craps.
Bubba Fett does not poo, he is too cool - plus the jet pack is a pain to take off.
Han Solo can take a crap anywhere.
Luke Skywalker prefers to poo only at Uncle Lars and Aunt Beru's place.
The Bantha has pretty massive but frozen poos on Hoth.
Padme would not poo because Natalie Portman does not poo.
Wicket the Ewok is always taking dumps.
Chewbacca, surprisingly, has impressive bowels and rarely poos.
The Emperor, Darth Vader, Darth Dooku and Darth Maul all don't poo - because they are Sith.
Lando actually has uncontrollable diarreah - he's not as cool as you think he is.
Yoda has some nice green poos, not because he is green, but because he is a vegan.

I beg to differ. It was recently released that Han Solo can only poo if Greedo does first.
