Stupid Star Wars questions you have been asked

This happened last night...

My brother: Hey, Natalie Portman was in Star Wars, right?
Me: Yeah...
My brother: Who did she play?
Me: Padme.
My sister-in-law: I though she played the queen?

Me: Padme is the queen.
My sister-in-law: Really? Are you sure?
Me: Positive.
My sister-in-law: I thought Padme was the mother of Luke and Leia?
Me: She is.
My sister-in-law: But didn't the queen die in the first one?

Me: Uh, no.
My sister-in-law: Then how come she isn't in the others?
Me: She is. She stopped being queen in between 1 and 2. Her term was up.
My sister-in-law: If she's a queen, why isn't she queen for life?
Me: On Naboo it's an elected position.
My sister-in-law: Whatever...*goes back to reading magazine*

 

I would have understood if she asked "Didn't the queen die in episode II?" becuase of Cordé, but... sigh.

 

OK, I got to watch parts of TESB (shamefully, I have never seen the full OT) last night and my mother saw parts of it...

(In response to Han at Echo base)
Mother: Is that Luke?
Me: No, mom, that's Han Solo.
Mother: He's a Jedi, right?
Me: NO HE'S NOT A JEDI!
Mother: Why not?
Me: Because you have to be Force sensitive!
Mother: ?

 

"What's a Wookie?"
"So, is Anakin Skywalker Darth Vader's father?"

 

when I went to Disney World, we were in line for Star Tours and there was this lady behind me..and she was talking to her kid..and...has she ever seen Star Wars?

Lady: Who is that?
kid: R2
lady: R-who?
kid; artoo-deetoo
lady: tho's the shiny one?
kid: 3PO
lady: why can one talk and the other can't?
kid: the way they were designed.
lady: Are we going to see Spaak?
kid; no
lady: why? he should be in here
kid; that's Star TREK, not Star WARS!
lady; what's the difference?
kid: different directors. Once has Earth and...
lady: okay..line's moving. Hurry up...WHAT IS THAT?!
kid: Admiral Ackbar
lady: a what?
kid; forget it.

ride guy: Mau the Force be with you as you travel to Endor.
lady: we're going where?
kid: Endor
lady: whatis an endor?
kid: planet with ewoks
lady: will they bite us?
kid: just stab you with a spear.
lady: *starts freaking out* WHAT?!

lady: *starts freaking out* WHAT?!

Oh brother.

 

Which one is Darth Vader again? (aboard the millenium falcon)
Are that sith person and that Chancellor guy the same person?
Who's General Grievous?
Did Luke make R2-D2?

 

"What are those little people in the hoods?"
"Why are you wanting spend 100 dollars on a Star Wars standee?"
"Who is Obi-wan?"
"What is that big hairy guy?"
"Can Jedi kill the borg?"
"Can you teach me how to fight like a Jedi?"
"Where do you get your lightsabers?"
"How much did it cost you to be come a member of the Jedi Order?"
"Who plays Obi-wan?"

 

Not so stupid question:
Friend: "How can Leia remember her mother?"
Me: "Because...Um..."

Now, back to the stupid ones:

(refering to seeing Ben's ghost on Dagobah)
Mom: "Who's that?"
Me: "Ben Kenobi."
Mom: "I thought his name was Obi-Wan?"
Me: "It is. But he called himself Ben for a time..."
Mom: "Why is he blue?"
Me: "He's dead."
Mom: "Then why is he talking?"
Me: "Because Luke needs him..."
Mom: *Shakes head* "How fakey is that?"
Me:

(Refering to TPM):

Mom: "Who's that little kid?"
Me: "Anakin Skywalker."
Mom: "I thought he was Luke's father?"
Me: "He is."
Mom: "Then how can he be a little kid?"
Me: "This is Episode one. This happens before the OT."
Mom: *goes into long debate about how I'm wrong about this*
Me: "Mom...Please...don't you have something else to do?"
Mom: *snaps at me, turns movie off, and grounds me*


Other people:

"Do lightsabers change colors?" (Because of Luke's lightsaber transition between TESB and ROTJ)
"Chewie's an Ewok, right?"
"How come Darth Vader wants Luke so badly?"
"How come Leia's a princess and Luke isn't?" (I responded with, "I don't think it's possible for Luke to be a Princess...")
"If Leia's a princess, does that make Darth Vader a king or something?"

 

"Is Lando Han's brother?"

 

"Is Leia going to marry Luke?"

 

she got on my nerves after a while. I wanted to get me a spear!

 

" so, are Palpatine and Anakin ******* each other?"

 

"Is Leia going to marry Luke?"

I hope you said "yes" and then sat down and watched ROTJ with them just to see their reaction.

 

No-one ever asks me anything about star wars, i dont know anyone whose really intersedted in it. im so lonely

 

How hard is it for people to get the concept of prequel & sequel trilogies?

 

are the younglings bad guys?

me: what?

well he just called Anakin Master Skywalker...he's now a Sith.

my sister

 

Appearently, quite hard.



From my cousin about ROTJ: "Hey, is that thing the Death Star? I thought they blew it up."
Me: "It's the second Death Star."
Cousin: "There's another Death Star?"
Me: *points to screen*
Cousin: "But did they blow up the first one?"
Me: "Yes..."
Cousin: *looks confused*
Me: *gives up*

 

I was showing this Ultimate Guide to Revenge of the Sith at school today in band...

idiot:What is that?
me; the ultimate guide to Revenge of the Sith
idiot; why would you read it?
me: cause I like Star Wars
idiot; who's that?
me: Anakin Skywalker
idiot; but my dad was watching a movie and he was a little kid
me: yeah. That Was the Phantom Menace. This is a different movie.
idiot: How many movies are there? I thought there was only one!

idiot: who is that?
me;Darth Vader!
idiot; who's Dark Vader?
me; DARTH Vader
idiot; yeah..him who is he?

idiot; oh. How many characters are there? 2? that guy and Anakin?
me; noooo...There are many more than that! and Vader and Anakin are the same guy.
idiot: how?
me; AHHHHHH!!! *bangs head against music stand*

 

There is a guy in my class who cannot for the life of him tell the difference between Star Wars & LOTR. How hard can it be? One looks medieval the other is futuristic.

 

I've had someone to ask me what a "Kenobi" was. And there was another person who said something like "Yoga? Yoga's a person? Er, creature?

 

I dont remember how this conversation started because my mum isnt interested in star wars, so I dont know why she bothered asking.

My mum: "so, is Obi-Wan gay?"
Me: "No, hes erm ..."
My mum: "Is he married then?"
Me: "No, hes a jedi, jedi dont usually get married"
My mum: "So is he gay or not?"
Me: "No!"

This conversation started when my girlfriend (steph) saw some of my star wars books, and as you can tell I wasnt interested in star wars at the time lol.

My girlfriend (steph): "I dont know much about star wars"
Me: "Oh?"
Steph: "I know Darth Valor and Jar Jar Jinks"
Me: "Oh?"
Steph: "Oh, and that little cylinder thing (artoo) and that gay robot (3P0)
Me: "Oh?"

 

"Why are there so many white Darth Vaders with Darth Vader?"

 

Cousin: (In response to the Millenium Falcon entering hyperspace) What are they doing?
Me: They're going into hyperspace at lightspeed.
Cousin: Couldn't they just use a warp drive?
Me: Nooo, that's Star Trek.
Cousin: Oh...so where's the Enterprise?
