Star Wars QUIZ

AL][EN · 07-10-2003 3:50pm #1

Basically "Borrowed" (ahem) this idea from the Discworld thread
a test your knowledge of star wars see if the idea takes off
can be any question you want from the books/films etc

the way it works is i'll ask the 1st question who ever gets it right can ask the next question and who ever gets that one right asks the next and so on you cant ask a question unless you get one correct

i'll start off with an easy one

Fair enough, how about we use spoiler tags for all the answers so that the thread can build into a quiz for anyone to use later on.

I'll let someone else handle this question...unless it takes too long, and I just go and watch ANH again

spooiirt!! · 14-10-2003 4:42pm

ok its not my turn but heres a question.
who was the person in command of the unit that nicked the death star plans in anh

mr smiley · 15-10-2003 8:32am

didn't R2 nick them when he was on it?

][cEMAN** · 15-10-2003 9:06am

Yeah he did - that's why he was so important to the rebellion that he had to be jetisoned with C3PO and sent to Obi Wan to get him back to the Rebellion.

superfly · 15-10-2003 9:20am

i thought it said in ANH that good men died getting the information?

Mick L · 15-10-2003 9:23am

Nah your thinking of ROTJ in the briefing given by Mon Mothma. I think spooiirt!! might have meant this as well.

mr smiley · 15-10-2003 9:33am

I think Mon Monthma said something like:
"Many bothans died to bring us this information"

So to make this into a question - who was the leader of the Bothans who got the second Death Star plans?

Mick L · 15-10-2003 1:16pm

Koth Melan

mr smiley · 31-10-2003 9:56am

Kuat Drive Yards

Drazhar · 31-10-2003 11:47am

no no, KDY were the manufacturers, im looking for the locations of where the ships were built

jaggeh · 31-10-2003 10:05pm

Executor - Fondor
Lusankya - Coruscant

easy- WHERE was the death star designed?

Hard - What planet were the storm troopers trained on?

TheSonOfBattles · 01-11-2003 10:28am

Easy answer: Maw Cluster Installation by Bevil Lemelisk

Hard answer: Carida (Most likely this is the planet your on about, as there were obviously many stormtrooper training facilities on many differant planets)

Also, I think the Lusankya was only buried on Coruscant, not actually built there.

jaggeh · 01-11-2003 2:40pm

first correct

second correct, but carida was THE stormtrooper training WORLD. as in there was nothing else happening there except some weapons development (re AT-MT)

as to lusankya it was actually built underground, you would think the populace and rebel spies would notice a 7km long ship parking on the planet surface and getting built over (unless the emperor used david blaine mind tricks)

TheSonOfBattles · 01-11-2003 11:51pm

I stand corrected on both counts. Whoops and all that.

As for my questions:

Easy: What is the name of the force blocking creatures introduced in the Thrawn books?

Hard: What company produced the X-1 Viper?

spooiirt!! · 03-11-2003 9:14am

easy: yaslimari
hard: no idea, ill guess Incom

Drazhar · 03-11-2003 11:27am

as to lusankya it was actually built underground, you would think the populace and rebel spies would notice a 7km long ship parking on the planet surface and getting built over (unless the emperor used david blaine mind tricks)

The Lusankya was actually built at the KDY yards above Kuat. The Emperor did actually use a mind trick on the people of coruscant. It says so in the Xwin books (the one where the Lusankya takes off)

Lusankya & Executor = 17.6km, http://www.theforce.net/swtc/ssd.html#size

The rebels thought that the Lusankya was actually the executor when it was being built, as did the Imperial Navy. The construction at Fondor was top secret, and only emerged after the lusankya emerged. Just shows how powerful the Emperor was

X-1 Viper was built by Balmorran Arms, under Govenor Beltane
