Does anyone know?

He didnt have to, he didnt drink or eat, he was a machine/cyborg remember. He used battaries to power up.

[Deepsycher]

So no living cells? Even for that statement for confronting if I remember correctly "He is more machine than human."

They're called "eunuchs". As for living without a dick, I seem to be doing quite well without one!

Which brings up an interesting point, A Jedi Trait, if he does NOT have a dick, why the hell did he have a very deep masculine voice, as provided by James Earl Jones? Shouldn't Michael Jackson have been chosen as the voice of Darth Vader?

This is purely speculation, but, I've already kind of asked a similar question, so, I'll take a shot at this. I'm pretty sure Vader slept. I don't see why he wouldn't. He's technically a cyborg; but, he's still need to perform basic biological functions, which would include eating, sleeping, and even going to the bathroom.

How'd he do that?

Well, we really don't know what's going on inside of that suit. I'm guessing Vader "ate" intravenously. The suit was supposed to be a self-contained, mobile life support system, as I understand it. Given the extent and severity of his injuries, maybe Vader couldn't really eat normally. So, instead, he's fed through IV needles that are hidden beneath his armor. The suit probably also "fed" Vader painkillers in controlled intervals, since, having most of his body covered in third degree burns must have been excruciating to say the very least.

Also, if Vader's genitalia were damaged, as I said in a different post, his hormones levels would likely have dropped fairly rapidly. If he's got IV's for feeding and painkillers, he was probably also receiving testosterone supplements as well. And, depending on the amount, this might have caused changes in his voice, and could also have augmented his physical strength as well. But, I mean, he's wearing a mask that's a sophisticated piece of robotics. It probably had volume control and other speech amplifiers which caused his voice to sound really deep and intimidating.

Similarly, I'm guessing that Vader's suit also took care of other biological functions like urination. While it might not sound very pleasant, Vader probably had some sort of catheter device that allowed him to keep his bodily functions in check. I would also not be surprised if Vader had a colostomy bag which drained feces from his colon.

So yeah, there we go. Not a very pretty picture. But I guess that does answer the question.

Oh, also, on the subject of sleeping, while I hate to reference other materials outside the movies, there are descriptions of Vader outside of his armor while in his meditation chamber. Based on that and what we can infer from scenes in the movie, Vader can probably survive outside of his armor while he's in his meditation chamber. So, he probably sleeps in his meditation chamber.

Well that does explain alot very good researching.

[miladyblue]

Uh, A Jedi Trait, my screen name is miLADYblue.

If I was told I HAD a dick, I would freak out.

Seriously, though, I think Johnny Cancer has a pretty good post above, explaining this. However, it is a pity that thanks to the PT, the question has to be asked in the first place.

The whole mess with the midi-chlorians was GL's attempt at over explaining the SW universe, or maybe it was a response to a bunch of "hard core" science fiction geeks, wanting a "concrete" explanation of the Force. I have mentioned many times that Obi Wan's explanation to Luke in ANH was enough for me:

"The Force is an energy field, generated by all living things. It surrounds, penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together."

[a_jedi_trait]

Oh sorry i didnt realise you were a "she"

[miladyblue]

Don't worry, A Jedi Trait. I just HAD to tweak you!

[Darth Player]

Its not a 'meditation chamber' we see in ESB, but what the French call a bidet.

[mireaux7]

I will remain modest and choose not to dwell into anatomy, biology or the likeness there of.

But for those seeking further interest in learning a little more about cyborgs, a great trilogy to watch would be Robocop,..especially the first Robocop movie (1987)

[Sailor Abbey]

Yes because Robocop is a very educational film.
