Not if anything to say about it I have!

Make sure you go before we leave
So I'm looking my three volumes of the Incredible Cross section and I notice something that is missing in every big starship design. Something vital! There are no toilets!

You would think that whilst listing were the Flux capacitator and the Thingy-mi-bob-that-does-those-stuff are on the ship, that they could have taken time to list the most necessary of rooms

I guess you all are saying "But YW, they are travelling at the speed of light. They get to everywhere in no time!!". It may be so, but nature can call you in no time. And sometimes it can be urgent and with no toilet, you're in deep "poodoo". Metaphorically and unfortunetly, literally.

Take for example the Republic Cruiser seen in The Phantom Menace. Everything's there, except a toilet so I guess before boarding, the dialogue between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon would be like this:

Obi-Wan:

Master, are you sure you're not going?

Qui-Gon:

Yes

Obi-Wan:

I have a bad feeling about this. I know how unstable your stomach is and so do you. I think you should go, just in case

Qui-Gon:

Be mindful of the present. I'm allright and I don't need to go

Later after drinking a bad glass of Jawa Juice, Qui-Gon needs to go

Obi-Wan:

I told you so. We must wait until we land on the Trade Federation ship

At this point I check the Trade Federation ships layout and lo and behold: No toilet. Poor Qui-Gon. Now, I know nothing of Neimodian anatomy but I think a restroom in one shape or another would be good.

Fast forward to Episode II and I check out the troop transporters. None there either. What if Jango Fett had a weak bladder? I mean, then we've got 10 000+ Jango clones just dying to go but can't. Poor guys. I'm surprised that there weren't any mutinys

On to the Original Trilogy. Now, the Death Star must have a designated area. Heck, my guess is that the whole South Pole is just one large restroom. Imagine that, a restroom as big as a continent! Think about the amount of toilets those Imperial Cleaners had to clean!

But alas, the ultimate structure the size as small moon with a populatio well over a million hasn't got a single restroom.

I guess the Stormtroopers that were positioned on Endor were happy. At least they could just run out in the forest if nature called.

I'm gonna leave the second Death Star off the hook. Maybe the Emperor learned from his mistakes and maybe the yet-to-be constructed part was going to be the toilet area.

I am surprised that in a galaxy were they managed to build ships that go into lightspeed, lightsaber, skyscrapers that are several kilometers high and big space stations that there aren't any toilet. Anywhere.

And yes, you may call me childish ;)
