Star Wars Fans Try To Answer Awkward Question About Darth Maul

Without a living lower half...

While there’s no Star Wars version of Marvel’s What If…? yet (though seriously, get on that Disney) it doesn’t stop fans from pondering some of the biggest mysteries in the galactic universe. What if Luke never left Tatooine? Why doesn’t Darth Vader sense anything about Leia? How does Darth Maul pee?

For anyone who just mentally heard the sound of a record scratching, this is seriously what a large portion of the Star Wars fanbase is discussing today over on Reddit. Remember how Darth Maul lost a large section of his lower half during The Phantom Menace? Well, one curious fan was curious how he could still pee after he got those fancy new robotic legs.

Plenty of people came up with some downright hilarious responses.
