The Official SW Saga Trivia Thread

[Shok_Tinoktin]

Didn't he use a parascope on Dagobah when he fell in the swamp? I don't think he ever used a holonet transmitter, though. Also, I wouldn't call his little booster things a "jetpack", but I am going to go with holonet transmitter.

Pass if correct.

I think that was just his eye bit raised out.

In AoTC, when Obi-Wan send the message to Anakin, and A New Hope, he basically acts as one when playing the message for Obi.

Could be, could be. But I think it was included as a choice because he considered it to be.

Artoo doesnt transmitt anything in either of those cases. In AOTC, R4 transmitts the message to Anakin, and it is retransmitted to Coruscant using the ship's comm equipment. And when he plays the message for Obi-Wan, all he does is play back a recording. I don't record my voice, play it back and claim to be broadcasting on the radio.l

[El Sitherino]

Fair enough. I guess we'll have to see.

[Astrotoy7]

sithy, any part allowing vision above the surface of the water when submerged is a periscope....

I cant remember the projectiles though ??

I will let jedispy confirm this, and move onto the next question...

*btw ET can have another point for regional director, close enough to governor for me*

* * *

Q. General Maximilian Veers is one of my fave Imp characters Who is he ? What did he do ?

mtfbwya

[jedispy]

Shok_Tinoktin is the actual correct one. I tried to make it a little tricky because it was R4 (I believe) who was attached to Obi Wan's starfighter that used a holonet transmitter. R2 was scanning the holonet receiver on board the Naboo ship on Tatooine, but he was using his scomp link interface.

A. Jetpack/rockets were used in AOTC
B. Catapult/projectile launcher was used on Jabba's skiff to launch Luke's lightsaber to him
C. Holonet transmitter - not used
D. Short range scanner - ESB to scan for life
E. Parascope - ESB on dagobah swamp, ROTJ when submerged below sand.
F. Restraining Bolt - used on R2 in ANH and ROTJ
G. Grappler - Used in AOTC to drag 3PO's head on Geonosis.

______________________________



A: General Veers was the Imperial commander of the ground assault during the Battle of Hoth. He was in command of Blizzard 1, and ordered the destruction of the Echo Base shield generators. In spite of being a subject of Admiral Ozzel (whom Vader hated) General Veers was confident around Vader and acted in pure competence, which is rare among Imperial commanders.

I hope this is what you are looking for.

Q: Name Jedis in the movies who disappeared when they died.

Bonus: Name Jedis that didn't.

[ET Warrior]

Not too many disappeared.

Obi-wan Kenobi
Yoda
Anakin Skywalker


Those who didn't.

Qui-gon Jinn
Pretty much all that fell at geonosis.

PASSALICIOUS

By that logic a giraffe with it's body underwater but head above it is (using) a parascope. But whatever.

[guybroom]

Stop arguing about the periscope - look here if you want to know what it is: look HERE - yep right here. All you do is click

Q: What colour lightsabers do these guys have? (name all lightsabers they have had)

Obi-wan Kenobi
Anikan Skywalker / vader
Yoda
Luke Skywalker
Mace Windu

[jedispy]

Back tracking to my prior question: Yeah I suppose you're right. It's been debatable whether or not Anakin reall vanished. The others who do vanish do so immediately after death. It's all good though.

Now for current one:

Obi-wan Kenobi - blue
Anikan Skywalker / vader - blue, then red
Yoda - green
Luke Skywalker - blue at first (anakin's saber), then green
Mace Windu - Purple. Has bad@$$ mother@#$%^* written on it. (just kidding).

As for names....uh....is this something that's actually in the movies?

I got no questions....sorry

[guybroom]

I meant to name the colour. Not name the saber.

"George I shall call it." <---- Umm no.

[ET Warrior]

Originally posted by jedispy

Actually it was already confirmed by the starwars.com Jedi Council that Anakin did in fact disappear, and what was burned on Endor was the empty suit.


Unfortunately, you can no longer access the Jedi Council Archives near as I can tell, so I don't have the proof to show, you'll have to take my word for it.

[jedispy]

That's cool. I suppose what would have disappeared would just be the head and only the human parts. Wouldn't make sense for his cybernetic body to vanish, which is what Luke burned. I suppose one could argue that only the Jedis who appear after death disappear. To date, Qui Gonn still has not post humously reappeared, and he didn't vanish.

So....any questions in play? I got nothing.

[Astrotoy7]

heh...sithy, you should know giraffes are standard issue on most modern sumbarines

* * *

Heres a new question ya bunch o' creeps

Q. Why do Jedi's vanish ?

[ET Warrior]

It's all mostly speculation and rumors until Episode III comes out..I believe we'll find out for sure then.


But so far, and what will probably be confirmed, is that they become one with the force.


Pass-style'd

Hmmm...I dont know if I shoudl issue a point.... ETs answer is more of a how then a why.... we may indeed have to wait til ep3

in the ROTJ/ESB commentary, GL mentions retaining their original identity after death....which was what the anakin ghost change was all about....


*point suspended in carbonite*

New Question

Q. What is interesting about the Ep3 movie poster ??

mtfbwya

[guybroom]

A: Which one? Do you mean the official one or the first one?

The teaser poster had darth vader's face in Anikan's cape.

No idea if there is anything wrong with the official poster

[El Sitherino]

A: It's two Struzan posters combined into one. On the soundtrack cover they finished removing the orange behind vader's helmet. (which makes it blend together much better, imho)

I think they're in the art of revenge book. I'm not sure as I haven't been able to look at it yet.

I like the finished version they did for the soundtrack it looks a lot nicer without the orange and all those lens flares to the right of the helmet.

Do you mean R4-G9 in Episode III? If so he/she (gender association hasn't been decided yet, as far as I know) is a droid that was designed by hyperspace members to appear in the new film. The colors are a copper and bronze mix for the dome and a standard white base.

[Astrotoy7]

hmm...thats interesting sithy But we arent doing ep3 ques yet.... I should have clarified

Q. What is different about the astromech called "R4" in AOTC ??

question stays open !

mtfbwya

[jedispy]

In AOTC, R4 is an astromech droid that is all head and no body. It is literally attached to the starfighter that Obi Wan flew. In the original concept, LF was going to have it where R4 can pop out of its socket, and walk around with little legs/arms. However the idea was cut. Good thing to. That might have been stupid, kind of like Jar Jar.

Don't know if I'm right, so passing on a question

yes, thats right jedispy..... I dont see the big deal of R4 being a normal astromech tho ... definitely better than freakin jar jar !

I think R4 is damn cool.... watch him during the chase with slave I.... doesnt bitch, moan or whine like artoo does(and Im an artoo fan), R4 just gets on with the job - he's straight gangsta mack

Q: How does Boba Fett die? I mean the last few moments leading to the event.

[ET Warrior]

Heh....the EU boys are gonna hop all over this one claiming he's still alive and whatnot...

but I say what happened was he was on the skiff with Han and Chewie who were trying to save Lando who'd fallen off, luke was on the OTHER skiff, and Boba was lining up a shot to kill him, when Chewie told han that boba fett was behind him, Han swung blindly, hit the emergency activation button on his jetpack
(what kind of pack has emergency activate, seriously?) Boba flew out of control into Jabba's barge, collapsed down into the pit of carkoon, and was eaten by the sarlacc.


Triple Dog Pass.

[jedispy]

Is the second set of Clone Wars episodes on DVD out? I have 1-20 on DVD, and I'm dying for the next set.

Anyway, question time.

Q: Name the locations of all known rebel bases in the original trilogy. (I know of at least 4).

Bonus: If you know of more than 4. Reference needed.

yes, please keep unrelated chatter elsewhere

A. Rebel Bases :
*Dantooine
*Yavin IV
*Hoth
*Galactic Border (end ESB rendezvous point)
*Sullust (ROTJ rendezvous point)

Han's reference to Ord Mantell does not clarify it as a base.... in EU, IIRC it was Bossk harrasing Han for the bounty on his head

Q. Clarify Luke's relationship to Cliegg Lars ?

mtfbwya

[Sivy]

they were lovers.

and also Cliegg Lars was Anakin's step-father (because he married Shmi, Anakin’s mother), Anakin is Luke's dad. So Cliegg is Luke's step-granddad, if there's such a thing.
therefore 'Uncle' Owen is indeed Luke's step-uncle.

pass on question

What the?! If you don't know the answer, then how can you ask the question? Since Darth Maul doesn't have much actual facial screentime, I'm going to say he blinks zero times.


Pass-tastic

[Konar]

Darth Maul blinks only once in Episode I.

What planet did Boba Fett log into his co-ordinates upon leaving Cloud City?

A. Tatooine
B. Gall
C. Ord Mantell
D. Kessel

- right. I this may not be necessarily covered in Episode V, Empire Strikes Back or Episode VI, Return of the Jedi - but try your best!

anyone's first repsonse would be Tatooine... however, this falls in EU territory... I havent read SOTE for a long time so Im not sure where Fett went after Bespin....

Let us know the answer anyway Konar

jedispy, being the resident SOTE expert can perhaps fill us in too ?

New Question

Q. What is Kit Fisto's home planet ? What is special about his species ?
(hint: clone wars cartoon series questions are allowed, remember !)

mtfbwya

[jedispy]

jedispy, being the resident SOTE expert can perhaps fill us in too ?

In SOTE, his first hyperspace jump was to Tatooine, but was ambushed by IG-88 in orbit. Knowing that the other bounty hunters (not to mention Rebels like Lando and Chewie) would be on the surface waiting for him, he fled to Gall where he knew he would be safe, and would get repairs for Slave 1. In EU, Boba Fett was often times protected, and sometimes favored, by the Empire. On Gall, he was confronted by Bossk and Zuckuss in a bar while Slave 1 was being repaired. 4-LOM tried to steal Han, but then the Rebels came. Boba Fett kills 4-LOM, and takes off. (The original game account has a fight with Dash Rendar here) Fett escapes. From there, he gets captured by Bossk's ship, and then escapes. Then he heads to Jabba's palace to turn in the prize.

<Jedispy exhales> PHEW!!

Sorry for the long winded explanation.


Back to business.
A: Kit Fisto is a Nautolan from Glee Anselm. Other than having head tails (similar to the Lekku of the Twi'leks) he is amphibious and can breathe air or under water, similar to Kaminoans, Quarrens, and Mon Calamari.

As a side note (I had to look this one up) I always wondered how he could swing his lightsaber through water so fast. It seemed to me that the water resistance would prevent such quick movement. Then I read this from the SW databank:
"He had perfected difficult Force techniques that manipulated the movement of water for defensive or offensive use."

Sweet!!!


I can't think of a question, so pass

[Astrotoy7]

thanks for that info jedispy

Sorry, It was a contest where, if you are lucky, you can get tickets for the premiere. Three questions were:
Which Jedi becomes Darth Vader in Episode III (Ani, Obi, Mace)
How many times does Darth Maul blink in Episode I? (1, 2, 6)
Which Bounty hunter are Obi and Ani searching for on Coruscant in Episode II (Zam, Palpatine , Jango)

I obviously got all three right.

@Astroski: Depa Bilabba...?

Pass if right.
