LA, CA Battle of the Star Wars Nerds: SW Triva Again!

So I'll start it. Yeha. So um. Let's have the trivia!

 

You asked for it so here it comes!

Who was sitting immediately behind Obi-Wan when Luke's landspeeder entered Mos Eisley?

 

R2?

This would suck if it's wrong. Because there's only two choices.

 

You got it APL!

 

hey u got that from the trivial pursuit game. i know cause i got that answer wrong that night and went on to lose after getting 6 straight right....
good for you APL to have started this thread again.....

p.s. might/will be going to Dland tomorrow...yes rain and all...any advise/suggestions?

 

This one might be a little easy for some people, maybe all. What is the name of Leia's starship in the very beginning of A New Hope?

 

Tantive IV

Of course it was actually her father's ship (Bail Organa). And of course the Empire now owns it when it was captured by the Star Destroyer.

 

Hooray for JJ!

 

Here is today's question.

What did the Ewoks use as drums during their victory celebration?

 

Stormtrooper helmets

 

That would be the correct answer.

 

okay, i got one.

what character, in episode IV, was referred to as "RED"?

 

Who is Wedge Antilles?

 

Wedge (Red 2), Biggs (Red 3??), Luke (Red 5), Red Leader (dunno his name), more Red dudes I don't know.

 

Luke called the R2 unit...(RED)who is actually R5-D4, the droid whose motivator blew up allowing uncle Owen to purchase R2-D2 and thus the Star Wars universe was saved thanks to that stupid little astro-droid.....I love R2!!!

 

I like how everyone has joined in the trivia stuff.

Here is today's calendar question:

In Return of the Jedi SE, what vehicle flew above the celebrating crowds in Mos Eisley?

a. The Millennium Falcon
b. An X-wing fighter
c. A Rebel transport
d. A T-16 skyhopper

 

T-16 Skyhopper

 

BTW,
I am thinking that Red was the guy played by Morgan Freeman, who helped him survive in a prison, where he....oh, wait a minute, that was Shawshank Redemption, sorry I'm always getting those two movies confused.

 

You silly head. You are right about the T-16.

 

SJ wins at the "red" question. How could I forget Skippy the Jedi Droid?!

 

Zihuatanejo baby!!!..."get busy living or get busy dying" SSR. Great Film.....
Now back to the trivia.....
BTW, i did not know his name was "Skippy"

 

Today's question may be difficult it is Jedi Master level.

What two childhood friends of Luke's attended the Academy?

 

Biggs and....uhhh

I dunnnow.

 

Biggs and Tank wasn't it?

oh and yeah.. sorry it took me so long to get back.. but yes R5D4 was the character referred to as "red" in ep. 4

 

That is correct, Biggs and Tank were his friends.
