Creative Uproxx writer Mike Ryan recently transformed his cat's litter box into a piece of Star Wars memorabilia by copying the aesthetic of the Echo Base from the films as a source of design inspiration. Ryan then posted a photo of the galactic cat box to his Twitter causing the image to go viral.
Litter boxes are pretty standard and bland in design most likely prompting Ryan to redesign his cat's. In the Star Wars films the Echo Base is the command centre located in an icy landscape. The outside features a round structure that is perfectly emulated in this cat litter box.
This would be a fun at-home project for anyone that adores the Star Wars films, owns a cat and is looking to add a bit of sci-fi to their decor.
