LA, CA Star Wars Trivia Calendar - even though no one else cares...

Ok, Guess the onus is on me to provide a question for today:

What was the name of the studio exec at 20th Century Fox who greenlighted "The Star Wars" in 1975 (without whom none of this would have been possible)?

 

Would that be Alan Ladd, Jr?

I forgot SR is off today. I'll post it when I get in tomorrow. I remembered it then promptly forgot. Please see signature line for explanation.

 

Correct, DH! BTW, your'e not lame! Your cool!

 

Thanks JJ.

 

As promised, here is yesterday's. Pretty easy, really.

Who destroyed Darth Vader's wingmate in the Death Star's trench?

 

Han Solo

 

Correct. I'll leave today's to SR.

 

What's the farthest planet from the bright center of the universe, according to Luke?

You don't get the choices because it is too easy.

 

Well Luke was wrong wasn't he? That planet was in 5 out of the 6 movies. Anakin Skywalker grew up there, one of the greatest heroes of the Republic. Obi-wan, the only Jedi powerful enough to beat Grievous lived there. Luke Skywalker hero of the rebellion grew up there.

 

Must be Pluto.

 

It's Tatooine you jokers.

 

I hear you CBM, for a planet to be so insignificant in Luke's eyes, it sure does play an important part in the Star Wars universe.

 

Well, if you lived on the same ball of dust all your life, you would rather be anywhere else.

 

It's probably because the sand gets everywhere...

 

"I don't like sand: It's course it's rough...and it get's everywhere."
"but didn't you live on a sandy planet?"
"Shhhh, I'm trying to kiss you."
( i fudged a little on the scene dialogue_)

 

Today's question:
What does Jango Fett request as partial payment for using his DNA as the basis for the clone army?

No choices this time either.

 

An unaltered clone with no genetic reprogramming.
I can't let JJ or APL answer all the questions. That would be boring.

 

Heeeeeeeeeeeey. I am not boring.

You're boring!

I'm so not boring I-zzzzzzzzzz

woah.

I just made myself fall asleep right there.

Nevermind JR, I am boring. JJ, we have to liven up our rivalry here.

 

What component of a hyperdrive enables a ship to jump to lightspeed?

 

Its vivid imagination?

 

The hyperdrive motivator. Chewie, bring me the peruvial dampers.

 

Yes, the correct answer is motivator.

 

Now that was a good question.

 

What four words of apology did Han extend to the cantina bartender after blasting Greedo?

 

Sorry for the mess.
