Tampa, FL SW Trivia

Good afternoon everyone. I've finally decided, seeing as how nobody tried their hand at answering my previous trivia questions, to answer them myself and hopefully ask one more to try and keep the game going;

1) How tall, in kilometers, were the AT AT walkers? -This, in retrospect, was an absurd and ultimately unfair question. The real answer is this: The AT AT walkers were more fifteen meters tall and twenty meters long.

2) In ESB, Lando Calrissian once worked for the Empire; what was his position? -Lando Calrissian was a pawn in Darth Vader's scheme to entrap Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leigh Organa on Cloud City so as to lure Luke Skywalker into carbon freeze, which would incapacitate him for his journey to Emperor Palpatine.

3) Who was the first person in the entire SW saga to interrupt C-3PO? -Padme was the very first person to interrupt C-3PO, when, after Anakin introduced him to her and he began his speil, she said out loud that he was perfect.

4) What was the # that marked the garbage compactor that nearly crushed Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leigh Organa?
-3863827- Luke shouted this over an intercom to C-3PO so that he could relay the message to AR2-D2 to let both of them know where they were so that they could help get them out.

 

All right, for those of you who are still interested in playing trivia, here are the next 2 questions;


1) What's the first line spoken in Empire Strikes Back?

2) How many life forms did the Death Star scanning crew find aboard the Falcon during their first scan?

Good luck with those, and I hope to hear from you guy's pretty soon about where and when we plan to get together again.....

2) What Kurosawa film did Liam Neeson draw inspiration from while preparing to play a Jedi warrior in Episode 1?

 

I'll be on vacation, then Star Wars Weekends, so I will be in Orlando in May & June. Maybe after that. Don't know if anyone else is interested. Lots of things are happening this summer...so may be quiet until Labor Day.

I don't know the name of the film, but I think I have seen the one you are talking about...

 

1) What Rebel snowspeeder pilot had the callsign Rogue Two? Zev

2) What famed Kurosawa film did Liam Neeson draw inspiration from while preparing to play a Jedi warrior in Episode 1? The Seven Samurai

New trivia question: What Swedish actress plays a key role in Episode 1?

 

Pernilla August played Shmi Skywalker

Next question: What was the only time the word "gun" was used in the OT?
Later

 

By OT, do you mean "original trilogy?"

-As far as I know, the word "gun" was used twice in A New Hope;

1) "Check the deflector shield while I charge up the main gun," was spoken by Han Solo while he and Luke Skywalker were preparing to shoot it out with an array of Tie-Fighters chasing the Millenium Falcon after it blasted away from the Death Star.

2) "The guns, they've stopped," was spoken by Wedge Antilles during the Rebel's attack on the Death Star.

 

OK, I shouldve made it a little more detailed. When is the only time in the OT(original trilogy) that a blaster (personal weapon), is refered to as a gun?
Hint: ROJ
Later

 

I got the answer: "Chewie, give me the gun."

-this line was spoken by Han Solo when he was hanging by his ankles from one of the skiff's in an effort to save Lando Calrissian from being devoured by the Sarlaac on Tatooine.

Next question, please...........

 

That's it, and since you got it you should ask the next question.
Though at this point it seems like its just you and me playing, no one else is contributing
