- ―Wedge Antilles insists that he must urinate
Urine was a waste product that was excreted by organic beings. Humans were capable of urinating and typically disposed of the liquid in facilities known as refreshers,[1] though some individuals occasionally relieved themselves outdoors.[4] Rebel Alliance pilot Wedge Antilles was a human who attempted to urinate[1] in 2 BBY,[5] but he was prevented from doing so by analyst droid AP-5.[1]
Other species known to produce urine were the voorpaks, which excreted purple liquid that made house training the mammals particularly difficult,[3] and the charhounds, whose urine was so hot that it could set other objects on fire.[2] Another type of canine known as the Corellian hound was also capable of urinating; in 5 BBY, one such individual conducted its business on the bright-red B2 groundmech salvage assist unit B2EMO during an encounter at Rix Road on Ferrix. The droid, not wishing to be urinated upon, drove the hound away with its electro-shock prod.[6]

- ↑ Dawn of Rebellion dates the events of Star Wars Rebels: Steps Into Shadow to seventeen years after the end of the Clone Wars, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY; therefore, the events of Steps Into Shadow must take place in 2 BBY. According to Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know, Updated and Expanded, Maul's final confrontation with Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Twin Suns" happened thirty years after Kenobi first saw him on Tatooine. Since Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates that event to 32 BBY, "Twin Suns" is set in 2 BBY. "Double Agent Droid" is set between Steps Into Shadow and "Twin Suns," so it must also take place in 2 BBY.
