Refresher / Legends Refresher , or ' fresher — sometimes though rarely called bathrooms , rest rooms , or waste - disposal units — were rooms intended for the purpose of washing , bathing and releasing bodily wastes . Refreshers were known to contain any of the following fixtures : a shower — or sonic shower , sanisteam or turboshower — a bath — or sonic bath or ripple bath — a faucet and sink , effluvial rinser , toilet , and sanitizer . They came in various configurations , from small freshers for starships , to large ornate rooms in private residences . The temperature of the refresher was usually adjustable . Some refreshers contained privacy screens . The term " refresher " is alternatively used to describe a toilet alone , rather than the whole washroom . Behind the scenes . Refreshers don ' t appear in the apartments and houses explored in games , such as " " and " Star Wars Galaxies " . This is , of course , game mechanics , although there are exceptions . " " shows one in the animal herder ' s apartment on Outland Station . A public ' fresher can be visited by Kyle Katarn in " " , where he can surprise stormtroopers and mercenaries standing with their back to him along a line of on Fuel Station Ergo . In " " , a datapad can be found in a refresher that belonged to Sien , the Mine Foreman at the Peragus Mining Facility . If played , Coorta ' s voice can be heard saying , " " And shut that damn datapad off and throw it down the refresher . " " In , when Luke Skywalker throws a bomb into an AT - AT during the Battle of Hoth , it ends up in a refresher , where a snowtrooper ( reading a copy of " Naboobies " ) goes , " What in the f * ck is - - " before the walker explodes . In , Lord Darth Vader , after disco - dancing to show off his new armor , promptly runs to the refresher , and causes himself to lose his cape , eject the " mullet " on his helmet , play music , distort his voice , and eventually get his arm stuck in the toilet , as he tries to figure out how to get his armor off . Later in the special , Gary the Stormtrooper ( a character who had appeared in the previous special ) has to take over for his friend , the Death Star ' s pilot , who desperately needs to go . An hour after , the station spins out of control as Gary narrowly keeps the station from colliding with a planet ( where his daughter goes to school ) , and during a montage where activities all around the station are disrupted , including stormtroopers on an escalator ( where Palpatine had previously been angered after missing the elevator ) , stormtroopers showering ( two are knocked into one another , hence implying accidental rape ) , Yarael Poof working in the cafeteria ( where he had not been recognized by Palpatine and Vader earlier after having escaped the raid on the Jedi Temple , having been sent out for pizza ) , another stormtrooper being killed when a vending machine falls on him , Vader strangling another Rebel officer ( the officer having been knocked into his Force grip after the impact ) , and Obi - Wan Kenobi being flung off the tractor beam power coupling , the co - worker is shown being flung out of his stall in the refresher , but lands in another stall , to his relief . Later still , he and another trooper , Carl , end up starting the fire in the Lars Homestead after knocking over candles in the bathroom ( this segues into a sketch where Luke and Obi - Wan take a Jawa Sandcrawler out for a joyride ) .
