There I used to be, exploring the big hub world of Koboh, the primary planet you go to after the opening part of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. I had discovered myself inside a grungy cantina on the planet. And with out realizing it, I went the unsuitable manner and stumbled into the cantina’s refresher aka the lavatory. And hiding within the restroom isn’t solely a collectible however what is perhaps the primary time we’ve ever seen a canonical bathroom in a Star Wars sport. What a deal with!
Launched just lately on April 28, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the larger, higher sequel to Respawn and EA’s 2019 Jedi: Fallen Order. Like that sport, Survivor is a third-person action-adventure starring younger Jedi Cal Kestis as he tries to defeat the Empire and at last choose a lightsaber colour. (Inexperienced? Purple? White?) Early on within the sport, Cal breaks his ship and heads to the planet Koboh the place an previous buddy might help him restore the vessel. And it’s on this planet that I discovered a bathroom!!
Now that may not sound wonderful to you as a result of it’s only a bathroom in a rest room. Large deal. You most likely have one and even two bathrooms in your house or condo. You is perhaps studying this very article on one now! However not like in our porcelain-throne-filled world, bathrooms within the Star Wars franchise are very, very uncommon to search out.
So stumbling upon even a single commode on Koboh was very thrilling for this dumb Star Wars nerd. Are you able to think about what number of alien asses have sat down on this factor?
The place is the bathroom in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s bathroom may be present in Pyloon’s Saloon on Koboh, the sport’s giant hub-like open world. It’s behind a door on the fitting aspect of the bar if you first enter. You could find it inside just a few hours of beginning the sport. EA and Respawn clearly didn’t wish to make individuals wait to see the bathroom.
Right here’s a brief video information exhibiting the place the restroom is within the saloon:
Not solely are you able to discover a bathroom within the saloon, however you should use the Pressure to flush it. If you do that, you get an achievement or trophy and a helpful shard that can be utilized to unlock a brand new beauty merchandise from a close-by service provider.
Now, I’ll be trustworthy: I’ve not completed the sport but. I’m nonetheless exploring Koboh. (Holy crap it’s large!) So it’s potential there are much more bathrooms to search out and flush all through its digital recreation of the Star Wars galaxy. In that case, that may be very stunning contemplating the small variety of onscreen bathrooms which have popped up in Star Wars over the many years.
A quick historical past of bathrooms in Star Wars
In the event you head over to Wookieepedia, you’ll discover articles on every thing that seems within the Star Wars franchise. And plenty of of those articles, for even mundane issues or background characters, will likely be a whole bunch of phrases lengthy with a number of pictures and sections. Star Wars nerds love to enter nice element about every thing.
Nevertheless, pop over to Wookiepedia’s entry on bathrooms and also you’ll uncover far much less data. At the moment, the canon entry has one paragraph and a comparatively brief listing of instances that individuals have talked about loos or bathrooms in numerous books, comics, or elsewhere. And oddly, the older, no-longer-canon Legends model of the wiki’s bathroom entry has much less information and references. Normally, that’s not the case due to many years of EU books and comics fleshing out the previous model of the Star Wars universe pre-Disney. However relating to bathrooms, nicely, we live in a contemporary crapper renaissance in our present Star Wars period. How fortunate we’re!
Now, it is sensible that bathrooms hardly ever present up in Star Wars. It is a franchise full of bombastic adventures, intergalactic politics, and house monks preventing evil house monks. There simply isn’t a variety of time for somebody like Obi-Wan to lean over to his buddy and be like: “Proper, earlier than we head in and defeat that large baddie from wherever, I would like to make use of the bathroom. Be again in a parsec!”
Typically once they do present up it’s as a joke, like on this non-canonical however very humorous second from Robotic Rooster.
Actually, so far as I can inform, that is the primary time we’ve ever seen a canonical, non-Easter egg bathroom in any Star Wars sport. And never solely that, however Cal flushes it. That’s even rarer! Bogs don’t present up fairly often in Star Wars and once they do, they’re nearly by no means used on display. I additionally suppose this is perhaps the primary time we’ve ever seen a Jedi use the Pressure to function a bathroom. Really, it is a large second within the historical past of Star Wars.
Additionally, thanks for studying 800 phrases of Star Wars bathroom speak. If you’d like extra, let me know.
