The Official SW Saga Trivia Thread

[guybroom]

Ray Park's voice was not used for Darth Maul's voice I dont know why, but I'm guessing it wasnt evil enough or something like that. But for what ever reason, Peter Serafinowicz became the voice.

Im taking a guess at the reason, they wanted the script changed or something and they couldnt get Ray Park back or something??? No idea at why.


Q: Where does Anakin think that angels live? How does he know this? Who does he tell this to?


[edit] grrrr - you got there first Sivy!!!

[jedispy]

Q: Where does Anakin think that angels live? How does he know this? Who does he tell this to?

Moons of Diego (or Viego...can't remember the pronounciation). Anywho, he tells it to Padme.

I'm guessing I'm right, so...


Q: Who is the first person in the OT to have a "bad feeling?"

[guybroom]

[jedispy]

I think it's Luke too, in ANH, Tatooine...when artoo goes missing ??

From what I can remember, Luke says it when they begin to approach the Death Star. WHen R2 disappears, Luke says "It's too late to go out, too many sand people....BLAST!"

He knows they live there because he heard the spacers talking about them....They're the most beautiful creatures in the galaxy

[Astrotoy7]

Guybroom, nice work.... I actually was going to just ask for four or five. I didnt know so many different people said it !

ET, thanks for clarifying that

Jedispy - yeah, thats right ! BLAST !

Q. What are the Tuskens' characteristic gesture ?

bonus 2 points : how did this come about ?


mtfbwya

[Shok_Tinoktin]

A) Their characteristic gesture is pumping their arms up and down above their heads, with their hands on gaffi stick/rifle. Originally, he just raised his hands up above his head once, but in editing they changed it to look like that gesture, and it has been used since (im assuming thats what you mean by how it came about)

And I pass, yet again.

[Astrotoy7]

good work Shok Yes, there was very little usable footage shot on that day. What little they did get they edited into what you see today. To extend some sequences a bit longer, frames were repeated, namely with the arms pumping up and down. What was an editing trick ended up becoming a trademark of those characters, which was seen again in TPM


damn you for passing Shok !

*points at Shoks sig*

Q. The Dialogue of the conversation between Vader and the Emperor in ESB was changed for the SE DVD. What were the changes made to imply/clarify ?

mtfbwya

[guybroom]

Sorry, I'm very lazy, so im quoting kurgan from the dvd changes thread.


Ian McDiarmid's scene:
He replaces the hologram of the Woman with the superimposed monkey (or lemur, I forget which) eyes. The hologram looks pretty freaky, like a zombie or washed up goth rocker, and Palpatine looks like he took his meds this time. The only thing is his eyes are pretty yellow, while the rest of him is blue (like the hologram color). The Dialouge is altered, with the following lines (new parts in bold):

Palpy: We have a new enemy, the young rebel who destroyed the Death Star. [Deleted: Vader saying "Yes my Master."] I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.

Vader: How is that possible?

Palpy: Search your feelings Lord Vader, you will know it to be true.

The old line of Palpy's was "We have a new enemy, Luke Skywalker." and the rest of those lines weren't there.
Vader's line "Yes, my Master" is removed from Palpatine's set of lines at the top. Additionally, Palpatine says "Yes" only once, before "He could be a great asset." whereas the previous actor said it twice.

The rest of the dialouge in this version is the same as before.


A subtle change, but in a scene where Vader is on the right side of the screen with his back to us, and two Imperial officers are talking on his right/our left (one of them a very young one) the rank insignias are correct. In earlier versions they were flipped (on the wrong sides of their uniforms). It looks like at least two shots like this were fixed, but there could be more of them...



Q: What is the name of the fish that Jar Jar admires in TPM

[Astrotoy7]

sorry guybroom, I am not giving you the point here.... I wasnt after a transcription of the scene, and copy and pasting is, as you said, lazy

this is what I was after

What were the changes made to imply/clarify ?

I did not ask what were the changes made

* * *

The changes have clarified that Anakin is not originally aware of his offspring... in the original dialogue, it is more ambiguous... this obviously ties in with what we will see in ep3 I imagine

* * *

Guybrooms questions can stay active :

Q: What is the name of the fish that Jar Jar admires in TPM

[guybroom]

Sorry I wont do it again.

I cant answer my own question so i guess this is just spam (and an apollogy)

I wish you'd allow for others to answer the question before you give the answer.

[jedispy]

Q: What is the name of the fish that Jar Jar admires in TPM

Isn't it a "gooper fish" or something like that?

Uncertain of the answer, so passing for now.

that question was up fo rmost of a day Since guybroom provided all the details (except the actual answer!), as well as a new question, I left his question active

yes, jedispy, thats close enough re- that fish

* * *

possibly the most ridiculous question in SW trivia history :

Q. The SW saga is host to alot of PONCHO wearing Which episodes feature PONCHO wearing ?

bonus 1 : where can we seen an a unworn PONCHO ?

bonus 2 points : pics of ppl wearing PONCHOs from at least 2 films



mtfbwya

[El Sitherino]

Episode 4, 6, 1, 2. That's all I can think of right now. I don't think a poncho was worn in 5.




3 points awarded, didnt get fourth for 'unworn' poncho, which was at obi-wans house[/ASTRO]

[jedispy]

I don't think a poncho was worn in 5

Well Lando wore a Poncho-ish style of cape. Technically a cape, so no poncho point there.

No question in play.

Q: John Ratzenberger is a fella whose name everyone knows, especially at Cheers. What is his character's name in Empire Strikes back?

[guybroom]

A: Major Bren Derlin.

pass

[jedispy]

Hrm....o.k. Let's see........


kinda running out of questions. I think if anyone asks who the best boy or key grip was in ANH, they need to be destroyed. That crap is retarded.

Q: o.k., without using EU, briefly give the chronology of events in the prequels, starting at the duel in the Theed hangar, and ending with the duel at Geonosis

For example, before the Theed duel, brief events are:
1. Sith is suspected at incomplete duel on Tatooine.
2. Jedi escape back to Coruscant temple to consider existence of Sith/coming of the chosen one.
3. Liberation of Naboo/Duel at Theed.

Don't know how many points it's worth. Leave that up to the boss man. I'm just trying to make things interesting

[Astrotoy7]

Astro has many questions, but is a little busy atm... I do get on daily though to make sure things are chugging along...

That is a multi tiered question there jedispy

[EDIT] I was going to give this question a couple of points if someone had answered it...but alas no, and I wont be greedy and take more than just one point

is this acceptable jedipsy

Duel at Theed>Qui Gon Slain>Darth Maul slain>Obi Wan pledges to train Anakin>New sith apprentice - Count Dooku.

Dooku as Tyranus recruits Jango Fett as clone template for clone army>He also orders Jango to arrange an assasination attempt on padme which fails>Obi Wan and anakin pursue the assassin>evidence leads to kamino>clone army discovered>Jango confronted and pursued to geonosis by Obi Wan(anakin and padme travel there via Naboo/Tatooine)>Obi and Anakin confront Dooku on Geonosis..

jedispy *please* dont ask a question like that again...trivia threads are meant to be fun, not homework

* * *

New Question :

Q. Why was the number "3" put into 3POs name ? (was in novelisation and original script of TPM)

[EDIT] No takers ? The answer is that threepio would be the third member of the skywalker family(along with anakin and schmi)


* * *

New Question ?

Q. At the start of AOTC, where were anakin and obi wan reported to be ? what were they doing ??

mtfbwya

[The Hidden One]

They were returning froma border dipute on Ansion.

[Astrotoy7]

Q. What is the special relationship between Wedge Antiiles and Obi Wan Kenobi ? (NO this is not an EU question!)

mtfbwya

[Shok_Tinoktin]

A) The actor who played Wedge was the uncle of Ewan McGregor (who played Obi-Wan of course).

Pass on question.

[jedispy]

Wow....did not know that. Is that the Dennis Lawson Wedge Antilles?


Q: What family of creature is a Tauntaun? (for example, ducks are birds, dolphins are mammals, Green Bay Packer fans are soulless creatures of the nether region, etc...)

[guybroom]

A: Not sure sure about this - but:

They are a spieces of snow lizard.



Pass because im not sure

[Astrotoy7]

cmon, jedispy, be weary of those borderline EU questions....

it would be nice if you could confirm teh answer tho

* * *

correct or not, im moving things along

Q. How is it possbile to identify different xwings from Red/Rogue Squadron ?

mtfbwya

[jedispy]

LOL!!!!! Hey, it's fair game IMO. In original Ralph Mcquarry art, it shows a Rebel mounted on a taun taun that looks reptilian. I was looking for the word reptile, but guybroom is close enough.

Apparently there are different breeds of Taun Tauns, some with more hair than others. All smell bad.

* * *

back to the action

Q. How is it possbile to identify different xwings from Red/Rogue Squadron ?

[Astrotoy7]

Q. How is it possbile to identify different xwings from Red/Rogue Squadron ?

wow, I was certain someone would have known this.....

the number is designated by the amount of stripes on on their wings...eg. Luke had 5 stripes on his in all 3 movies

* * *

New Question

Q. What did Owen Lars tell Luke about his father ??

mtfbwya

[ET Warrior]

Did he not tell him his father was a freighter pilot during the clone wars?

Pass if that was right, but I think I'm missing something...=/

[abespam]

he was a navigator of the freighter

[jedispy]

Navigator on a SPICE freighter.

pass on question since I don't know who the point is going to.

[Astrotoy7]

heh ! thats funny, it took 3 of you to get the full answer I will give ET the point, to stroke his ego

* * *

Q. What was Tarkin's first name and title ?

mtfbwya

[ET Warrior]

Wilhuff Tarkin


He was a Grand Moff.



Super Sonic Pass.

[jedispy]

Here's one

Q: What specifically is a Moff? Give you a hint, this is actually mentioned in the OT

[ET Warrior]

Aren't they like, regional directors, in charge of keeping control over the districts of the empire, particularly after the breakup of the senate?

Pass if korekt

[jedispy]

Close enough. You have the correct definition, but I was looking for the word governors. Yeah Yeah I know, I can be @#$% picky. Twice they are referred to as governors. The first time is in the DS conference room, and the second is when Leia refers to Tarkin as "Governor." I wonder if since all the bad guys sound British (refer to commentary on ESB), would Tarkin's evil butler wake him up with a good ol' "mo'nin' Guvna."

o.k. let's see here....let's see.....

Astromech droids are wonderful for calculating hypernav routes. They also are great as beeping swiss army knives on wheels. R2-D2 is notorious for possessing enough gadgets that would make Batman's utility belt look pathetic.
Q: of the following devices, which is NOT one used on/by R2-D2 in any of the movies thus far (keep in mind EP3 is not out as of this date).

A. Jetpack
B. Catapult/projectile launcher
C. Holonet transmitter
D. Short range scanner
E. Parascope
F. Restraining Bolt
G. Grappler

[El Sitherino]

Parascope. Pass on question.
