Cincin, OH The trivia thread... For Star Wars buffs of all ages!

The Jedi Master's Quizbook was compiled by Rusty Miller. I still have the copy my parents bought me when it came out. It was one of the books I learned to read with.

 

I still have a copy myself. Somewhere. Nepotism city, the kids father was an editor at the publishing house that put the book out.

 

Impressive. Most Impressive. Two other people who have a copy of a book found on a used bookstore shelf. 2000 points to Draith for the correct answer plus an additional 1000 for having the book. And 1000 points to DonC for owning a copy with an additional 1000 for the nepotism remark. I hadn't even payed attention to that.

Give me a bit of time to get another question up, or feel free to post one yourselves folks!

 

Ok, I got one. Name Jaina Solo's Wookie doll. This one's worth 1,279 points.

 

Oh, good lord 'n' butter. I've not got the slightest clue. I'll bet it was in one of the Junior Jedi books, wasn't it?

 

Maybe I should give more points for this question. And no it's not from Junior Jedi. Don't you think she would've been a little old for dolls by that age? That's you're only clue for now...

 

Beats me. I read the Young Jedi Knight series a while back, but don't recall any mention of a doll there, so I took a stab in the dark.

Sure, give the question more points. That'll make it more fun to get the answer. This sounds like one of those obscure questions that very few people would know.

 

OK! Since this turned out to be a really obscure question, the point value has now increased to 5,691 points. AND I'm giving another hint: This information can be found somewhere in the EU books between 10 to 15 years ABY.

 

Can you be a little more vague?

 

Looks like everyone will need to check the New Jedi Order timelines to see where this will fall.

 

well we aren't just giving these points away are we? oh, yeah we are. so here's a little push in the right direction. look in the Crystal Star.

 

D'oh! Okay, this is the book where Jaina makes a habit of whipping out her little multi-tool and using it everywhere! I just might have to re-read the whole book. It's been a while.

 

YEAH! you totally get 4 bonus points for remembering that she used her multi-tool all the time, and what the heck, i'll throw in an extra 996 for remembering it was called a multi-tool. Way to go IR!

 

Since it's just you and me playing right this instant, the doll's name was Eba! Ha! And it only took me 20 minutes to find it!

And the twin doll for Jacen was called Aba. So there's a bonus tidbit for folks.

Now for the tough question of the night!

What was the number of the Trash Compactor that Luke and company were trapped in?

This question will have a 2000 point award attached to it.

 

3263827

 

Good call on citing Jacen's doll's name too Recruiter. I'll give you twelve more points.

And way to go JediMike for getting the answer to Recruiter's question in a whopping 17 minutes. Although if you remembered the answer as fast as I imagine you did, you probably didn't see the question until 16 minutes after it was posted.

So here's another gimme:

What was Leia's cell number in the detention block that led to trash compacter 3263827?

This one's worth 1,977 points. And an extra, hmm...25 if you can guess why.

 

2187 and the reason for that number is due to it also being an Canadian short film that George Lucas loved.

 

2000 points to jedimike421 for the compactor question. Looks like I put one up that was too easy. Especially to be answered so fast.

I shall have to peruse my sources and come up with a real stumper. But in the meantime...

Who was in ANH, in one way or another, who had no credit even though he had a major roll?

This'll be worth 500 points, as most folks probably know the answer.

 

James Earl Jones-Voice of Vader

 

WOW! JediMike's all over these questions. Perhaps it's time for a stumper. this one's going to be worth 8,000.

What is the name of the city on the planet Roon that is the site of the Roon Colonial Games?

JediMike, if you get this one anywhere near as fast as you got the rest, i'll be duly impressed. This is one of the hardest questions I could come up with.

 

Nunurra

 

OK, That's it! JediMike has once again beaten the odds and answered an unbelievably hard question in relatively no time at all. I must congradulate you for either remembering something from the Droids TV series, or being really good at research. But now you've done it. I'm pulling out all the stops here. No holds barred. It's time for the big one. If ANYONE can answer this question today, then I give up. Here goes:

When building Owen Lars' speederbike, what real life item(s) did the modelmakers use for the communications jamming knob in the center console of the control area.

By the way, since this may be my last time offering up a question, I'm going out with a bang and giving 10,000 points for it. Good luck. Muwahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!

 

Muwahahahahahahahaah!!!! There can be no answer to that question!!! It's a trick question!!! Why is it a trick question, you might ask? Because Owen never owned a speeder bike!!! He owned a Swoop Bike!

I'm just picking on you, Draith! I couldn't answer that question if I tried!

I said I'd come up with a stumper, as well. So here it goes!!!

What is the name of the type of shielding used on starfighters to impede and assimilate energy fire?

This one's worth 4000 points!

jedimike421 gets the 500 points for answering the James Earl Jones question. I told everyone it would be easy!

 

Yeah, yeah, blahblahSWOOPblahblah. Owen did tell Anakin to "Take my speeder bike." though. So technically, we're both right. And um, Recruiter, did you give the answer away in your question? I think you might have wanted to say enemy fire. As you know, starfighters only have two types of shielding. So I'm gonna go ahead and continue your question by giving 2,000 points to whomever can answer this:

What type of shields are most starfighters equipped with to deflect small amounts of space debris and dust?

Honestly though, the only way anyone will know the answer to my previous question is if they've either...
1)seen the swoop up close and recognized what I'm talking about.
2)gotten a schematic of how the original was built.
or 3)asked someone who was involved in it's construction what was used.

There are probably other ways to find out, but i'd really like someone to find out the answer and thought i'd help out a little.

 

ray shielding and particle shielding are the 2 types of shielding, I also remember something about molecular shielding.
