I’m officially adding a bathroom sign to the door r2 and 3po are hiding behind on tatooine in an edit of ANH.
It would almost be like the stormtroopers are looking for a vacant bathroom:
“Doors locked. Move onto the next one”

O_o I would refute the notion that most movies use or elude to restrooms but I’d rather not waste my time coming up with examples.
Anyway, yes, they’re called refreshers in the Star Wars galaxy. The most memorable thing I recall about them in this context is that apparently on Coruscant dianogas have been known to snake their way up through the plumbing in people’s apartments. =|

You don’t really need to see any toilets in the Star Wars universe any more than you need to see a hobbit go relive himself behind a tree in the Middle Earth. It’s pointless, kinda gross, and doesn’t really add anything to the plot. In certain films set in the real world you can get away with it because it’s something that relates to real life. In an epic fantasy setting however, including “a galaxy far, far away”, it would just be weird and distracting.

I remember ‘freshers from EU novels’ although I can’t quite remember which ones. Refreshers are canon now, apparently as per the new-canon novel “Before the Awakening”.
The use in the EU seems like “bathroom” in US English: noting a place that could have a toilet and/or shower/bath.

There IS a bathroom reference: Jar Jar stepped in doo doo.
What if they had included a Jabba bathroom reference?

That’s referencing excretion, not bathrooms. 😃

As Ric would have said, the entire spaceport is one big toilet.

One series of novels I read back in college did have a great joke about a 20th century character trapped in a mostly medieval magical realm, having a horrified reaction to finding a chamber pot under their bed. Fortunately for them, the castle also had modern plumbing for it’s temporally displaced guests.

Maybe that’s why Jabba is so fat: he isn’t able to go to the bathroom at all, so all his excrement just builds up inside.

Some of the Jabba concept art is a little disturbing. Note the end of the tail…

That actually happened to a man in real life. I wish I could remember the guy’s name so that I could post a link.

Castle Perilous by John DeChancie. And I just found out there was a ninth book published last year after a 21 year gap!
The kindle editions have boring covers though.

It’s the same with everything else these days. No one wants to pay real artists anymore. 😦
Edit: I looked up the series original cover artist, Richard Hescox. He’s still active so it looks like there’s no real excuse for breaking tradition with the cover art.

Maybe it’s a money issue where reprints or digital editions are concerned? The most recent editions of The Hitchiker’s Guide To The Galaxy books I’ve seen have horribly bland covers too.

I’m sorry, but if the movie has already told you, on more than one occasion, that poop exists, that should be enough information for you (it’s a little too much for me, but it doesn’t bother me). It should really go without saying that if poop exists, it has to go some place. You’re going to question that such a place exists until the movies show it to you or explicitly work it into a line of dialogue? Then what’s your alternative explanation for what happens to the poop? It disappears seconds after you excrete it, the way Yoda and Ben disappeared after they died?

No, they just leave it on the ground. How do you think Jar Jar stepped in it. Someone goed and goed until they finally went, then they kept going.

Are barbershops even real? You practically never see them in films. How can we be sure they’re really a thing?
