    I've never seen anyone have a sheet of paper. It's all technical data readouts.

    They do use paper. They call it "flimsiplast" instead of "paper" though. ;)

    Yep,they use paper! they call it Durasheets most of the time.If you read JA Obi-Wan uses a durasheet,a difference though is that it's re-useable.I mean that the ink fades after ahwhile and they can re-use it. :)

    They probably just wipe their butt with Jedi robes. Why do you they're all brown?

    Yes, they use paper in the Star Wars Universe. In fact, there are many different types. :)

    The first type is called durasheet, which is a strong paper-like substance which holds writing for a short period of time. After the writing fades, the durasheet can be reused.

    The next type is called a stylopad, which is a special material that laserpens (a writing instrument) are usually used with.

    Another type is called flimsiplast, a material that resembles sheets of plastic. Used for conveying messages, flimsiplast can be impregnated with chemicals that allow the writing to remain hidden until it contacts a being's specific chemical makeup. It can also be set to burn up after the message has been activated, thereby ensuring the message is read and then destroyed.

    They also have regular paper, the kind that comes from trees. These are hardly used anymore though, as newer technology is more efficient and helps protect the environment. Ancient texts and such (including the Chiss grand library) are, however, made of this paper. :)


    As for toilet paper, well....I think we can leave that to speculation. ;) :p


    Ken Kenobi- And you have a nice day ;)
