Star Wars Trivia: New Game from JC

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Here’s the deal. I just picked up the Star Wars Deluxe Gold Trivial Pursuit Edition on sale. And I thought it was time we determined the Uber Star Wars fan here.

That said, I will post from 5-20 questions per day (or so, I may take weekends off) and I’ll keep track of the FIRST person who gets the questions right. I’ll track the scores in a spreadsheet and post them here periodically.

Most of the questions are pretty easy. They relate to episode’s 4-6. The box says there are a few ‘sneak preview’ Episode 1 questions but I haven’t found any yet. Be warned though, occasionally the questions are astoundingly obscure.

The question are chosen at random. I’ll just pull a card or two out of the box and post those questions.

Eventually, we’ll crown an Uber-Geek. The one, the proud.

Are you with me here?

First round of questions:

#1 Who fired the blaster bolt that ricocheted off the walls of the trash compactor?

#2 What handheld device did C-3PO use to contact Luke in the trash compactor?

#3 Who was the first to jump down the Death Star’s garbage chute?

#4 Who opened the pressure maintenance hatch to free Rebel heroes from the trash compactor?

#5 Who fired four blaster bolts at the trash compactor monster when it grabbed Luke?

#6 Who shut down the Death Star’s trash compactor?

2

1 Han

2 a communicator

3 Chewie

4 R2

5 Han

6 R2
I have played these cards. If they ask for a rebel and you don’t know it’s Wedge. There was also one or two that had wrong answeres on the cards.

3

Played these cards so well you got 4 of six right!

1 Han (right)

2 a communicator (wrong)

3 Chewie (wrong)

4 R2 (right)

5 Han (right)

6 R2 (right)

**So the current scores stands:

Zebra - 4
Field - 0**

Who’s going to try the last two? Then I’ll post some more.

4

2 a comm link
3 Leia

5

And Ethilrist gets on the board!

2 a comm link (right)
3 Leia (right)

The score now stands:

Zebra - 4
Ethilrist - 2

More questions:

#7 What was Tarkin’s title, besides Governor?

#8 Who ordered Lando to open the Falcon’s top hatch during the rescue of Luke in Cloud City?

#9 What did Darth Vader say was the only thing that could destroy him?

#10 Who drew the lone Imperial scout at the Endor bunker’s back entrance into an ambush?

#11 What did C-3PO claim was his “primary function”?

#12 What foot did Luke use to support Yoda while performing an acrobatic handstand?

6
  1. Grand Moff
  2. Leia
  3. Luke’s anger
  4. Han Solo, with the shoulder tap. Or Threepio, when he shouted to draw attention to himself. Which time are you talking about?
  5. Protocol
  6. Left, if I recall. If I’m wrong, you realize, it’s not gonna be hard to guess the right answer. :wink:
7

actually I think it was his right foot (I am picturing it in my mind, not trying to hop on and infringe)

so

  1. right
8

actually I also think his primary function was to ‘program binary load lifter’ was it not?

<star wars geek hat on>
Owen: What I really need is for a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.
Threepio: Vaporators, why sir my prmary function was programmin binary load lifters, very similar to your vaporators in many ways.
Owen: okay, shutup
3p0: shutting up sir.

I’m going to have to keep refreshing this thread all day looking for new questions posted … I’m that much of a geek.

(I did see an Episode 1 Trivial Pursuit version. I was baffled. Is there enough material for questions in that game? Or will they resort to asking questions like, “How many cutscenes of Qui-Gon’s face were there in his duel with Darth Maul?”)

10

Correction: “why, sir, my first job was…”

11

Darn you Johnathan! Now I have to hover around my computer constantly reloading in hopes that I will get a chance to answer some to prove just how dorky I am.

12

Airman Doors

  1. Grand Moff (right)
  2. Leia (right)
  3. Luke’s anger (wrong)
  4. Han Solo (right)
  5. Protocol (right)
  6. Left, if I recall. (wrong)

DJScherr

  1. right (right…um, correct)
    As regards #11. His primary function was protocol. He first job was, indeed, those dang load lifters.

That still leaves #9 unanswered!

Standings:

Zebra - 4
Airman Doors, USAF - 4
Ethilrist - 2
DJScherr - 1

One question of this batch left to go! More questions after lunch!

How cruel of me was it to start this when SPOOFE was still abed, snoozing away?

13

ahem (knowing quotes word for word (or thinking I do) can help)

Vader: “Only YOUR hatred can destroy me now”

although I would give partial points to those who said Luke as that is who he was talking to.

14

Yo JC Superstar,

RE Question #1: Sorry, I don’t mean to quibble(not sure I could really). But when Han took his shot, didn’t Luke say that he’d already tried it and that the doors were magnetically sealed? If so, that would make Luke the first to shoot down there. Right?

~t

15

Yeah, Luke said he tried it, but we don’t ‘technically’ that it ricochetted, we can only go by what we saw. You do bring up a good point though.

16

DJScherr

#9 Vader: “Only YOUR hatred can destroy me now” (right)

Well done!

PolishSausage, DJ is correct in that we can’t know what Luke did. Only that he said he did.

But please, feel free to quibble. If you catch an answer being wrong you’ll see some fine footwork from ol’ JC.

And I find I like being called ‘JC Superstar’. I feel so dirty.

Standings:

**
Zebra - 4
Airman Doors, USAF - 4
Ethilrist - 2
DJScherr - 2

Too much time playing with fancy boldface and quotes, and then getting fed up with it and just listing the answers … and it made me two minutes late!

And I messed up the quote, anyway. Don’t get jittery, Luke. There’s a lot of command ships out there.
