JC Superstar, who do you think you are?

I appeal to the crowd, shouldn’t I aleast get a point for my answer? Why did Luke and Leia yell at Han to stop, if they didn’t know it was going to ricochett? Well, no biggie. It’s just fun getting my geek on.

Actually, this is a fun game and I’m wait for futher questions!

Just a friendly injection here… maybe we should make a ‘rule’ that you can answer only one question per post so that way whoever sees the question first doesn’t get ALL of the answers. And everyone gets a chance to get points

21.)piloting (he was already a great pilot when obi-wan met him.)

And keep trying, some people may not have the right answers _hint_hint\* I’ll let some other people answer some more. I don’t want to steal a more novie person’s fun by answering all of these. (I have an unfair advantage, have seen the movies many times (can’t even remember the first time, just have always know the stories), I collect figures, play all the games)

Yeah I screwed that one up. I meant pod racing but put down land speeder racing.

I didn’t attempt to answer the last 2 to allow others a chance.

_ahem_ I beg to differ with the deflector screen question number 20. Mongrel\_8 had it right, when they first engage the death star Gold Leader says: Switch all power to FRONT deflector screens. Then after the turbolasers stop (and Vader comes up behind says to switch all power to REAR deflector screens.

And I will take a stab at 24, I think it is either captain or commander… I feel though that the answer is:

24.)Commander

</div>

Yeah, just taking a gamble… and the board lagged so much that I couldn’t post a reply in time to say 24) Commander.

The rebels have been routed and are fleeing into my pants, Commander.

DJScherr, try not to argue.  
Do or do not, there is no try.
