Right, could you two at least wipe your dusty boots before you come aboard the ship for your big lightsaber fight? Solo, your ship’s engines might work if they weren’t clogged with asteroid dust! Yes, I’m the guy who follows Jabba the Hutt around with a big mop to suck up the slime. These are all things I imagine the robot PowerWash Simulator 2‘s upcoming Star Wars DLC turns you into saying on a regular basis.
The latest in a long line of licensed cleaning sessions, 2Power2Washsim’s latest expansion pack sets up six scenarios in which you can clean down the likes of X-Wings and Star Destroyer bridges. Trying to keep the sand out of uncle Owen and aunt Beru’s farm on Tattooine rounds things out in terms of what’s been announced thus far, with the DLC set to arrive at some point this summer.
But, I hear you ask, what sort of Glup Shitto is employed to keep the Stars and Wars spick and span? Well, according to developers FuturLab, during the original trilogy running from A New Hope to Return of the Jedi, it was a class five labour droid called P0-W2 and/or a gang of class five labour droids each called P0-Wsomething. The tool of choice for cleaning in these times of great conflict between the Empire and Rebels was a light grey washer that wouldn’t look too out of place shooting blaster bolts at smugglers.
To be fair, it might need to shoot blaster bolts if the faction whose quarters you’re helping keep tidy end up being attacked before you’ve managed to de-grime a few remaining corridors.
Alice B dug PowerWash Sim 2 when she popped her head into the treehouse to review it last year. “Despite me being glib, there are a host of small changes that add up to noticeable improvements,” she wrote. “They’re just probably only noticeable if you were already Washmaxxed and had over a hundred hours in the first game. If that’s you, then you already know the allure of the constant white noise from your powerwasher, the click-click-clack as you cycle through different nozzles, and the ting as you complete a section of a level.”
Oops, sorry for going on a bit too long here. I know you’ve got Hutt slime to whisk away before some poor Gamorrean guard slips on it and does their back in.
