PowerWash Simulator 2 Devs Talk Star Wars, Because Apparently the Galaxy Needed a Cleaning Droid Hero

There are many ways to experience Star Wars.

You can fly an X-wing. Swing a lightsaber. Command clone troopers. Betray the Republic. Join the Sith. Save the galaxy. Doom the galaxy. Spend 140 hours in an MMO arguing with a companion who absolutely deserved better dialogue options.

Or, in PowerWash Simulator 2, you can clean the galaxy.

Honestly? Fair.

FuturLab has released a new developer video for the upcoming PowerWash Simulator 2 STAR WARS Pack, with members of the team talking about their connection to Star Wars and the work that went into adapting the galaxy far, far away into a game about blasting dirt off things with high-pressure water. The pack launches July 16, 2026, for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

A Cleaning Droid Was Probably Inevitable

The Star Wars pack casts players as P0-W2, a humble Class Five cleaning droid who gets dragged into the events of the original trilogy era. According to the official Steam page, the DLC is set during the events of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, with P0-W2 starting out on Imperial work before eventually helping clear the way for the Rebel Alliance. Or, as the listing puts it: “Rebellions are built on hope, and soap.”

That is the kind of stupidly perfect Star Wars joke that only works because the premise is already ridiculous.

A franchise full of dirty speeders, dusty hangars, greasy droids, carbon scoring, sand, swamp grime, and battle-damaged starships was always going to make sense for PowerWash Simulator. If anything, the real question is why nobody handed us a pressure washer on Tatooine sooner.

The official store description promises six iconic original trilogy locations and ships, with players blasting away Imperial filth and cleaning up some of the most familiar messes in the galaxy. The pack also supports solo play and co-op, with Free Play allowing up to four players to team up.

This Is the Right Kind of Weird Star Wars Game

The best thing about this DLC is that it understands something important: not every Star Wars game needs to be about being the most important person in the room.

Sometimes the galaxy is more interesting when you are just some poor droid doing maintenance while history explodes in the background.

That has always been one of the strengths of Star Wars games as a whole. The franchise can handle huge RPGs like Knights of the Old Republic, shooters like Battlefront, strategy games like Empire at War, racers, arcade cabinets, mobile games, and strange little genre experiments. Our complete list of every Star Wars game ever made is basically proof that this galaxy has survived almost every possible genre collision.

So yes, a Star Wars cleaning simulator fits.

It fits because Star Wars has always been a lived-in universe. The ships are scratched. The droids are dented. The cantinas are filthy. The walls look like someone smoked spice in them for twenty years and then blamed the Jawas.

A clean, sterile Star Wars world would almost be suspicious.

FuturLab Seems to Get the Joke

The new dev video works because it does not treat the crossover like a sacred museum piece. The team clearly knows what kind of franchise it is playing with, but the appeal is not just “look, a famous thing.”

It is the detail work.

That is where PowerWash Simulator tends to live. These DLC packs are not just skins thrown over a generic map. They work when the environments feel like objects fans want to inspect slowly, inch by inch, while pretending this is somehow productive.

And Star Wars is perfect for that.

If you have ever paused a movie shot just to look at the background machinery, alien signage, weird panels, or random grime on a ship hull, this pack is basically weaponized fan behavior.

You are not rushing through a set piece.

You are pressure-washing it.

A Small Star Wars Game Can Still Be the Most Star Wars Thing in the Room

The PowerWash Simulator 2 STAR WARS Pack is not trying to be the next grand statement about the Jedi, the Sith, or the fate of the galaxy.

Good.

We have plenty of those.

This is something smaller, sillier, and maybe more charming: a chance to experience the original trilogy era as a maintenance droid with a hose and a terrible job description.

That may sound like a joke.

But in a franchise where everyone is always chasing destiny, bloodlines, prophecy, or galactic war, there is something oddly refreshing about a Star Wars game that simply asks:

What if the Death Star just needed a really good scrub?
