How many different toilets in the Cantina Bar


... With all the different alien races in the Star Wars universe how would a public establishment like the Cantina accommodate all the different alien poopers? Or is the toilet just a big hole in the ground with a waste disposal being in there?

reply

Probably a uni-sex/species one. Budget would be prohibitive to "inclusiveness".

reply

Yeah, in a place like that, there's probably just some sort of trough, or hole in the ground.

The clients can figure out how to use it.

reply

As I was in the original cantina (real life, tunesia), i can tell you, they have an uni sex outhouse.

reply

Also, the city the Cantina is in doesn't look like it has a plumbing system. And they have to farm moisture, do they probably have to save all the alien piss they can get

reply

That's an interesting thing to consider, I never thought about it before. All those different bums in there. Alien spaceships would also have different toilets.

reply

Think about what you have to endure on those calamari 'it's a trap' spaceships if you a human. The disease in the toilets must be lethal.
Maybe this is why the Empire stuck to mostly humans and robots.

reply

Why do you think the Deathstar is so big?

reply

Anything that generally drinks and eats like a human probably disposes of waste in a similar manner as well.

Now, with that said, Mos Eisley is a generally scuzzy place, the cantina looks extra-sketchy, so I'm thinking that "big hole" and/or "trough" is what's going on in there.

reply

idk, but i'm not touching it. you think truckstop bathrooms are bad? imagine a truckstop bathroom that's been touched by a thousand different aliens. i'm pretty sure some of those diseases would kill you instantly.

reply

I'm sure some of the aliens probably have sentient poop that will try to kill you as well.

reply

Just don't eat the peanuts in the bowl at the bar.

reply

Only in "the Mandalorian" we have seen how a toilet in the Star Wars universe looks like.
