There are 139 questions in all, covering the original trilogy, the prequels, the sequels, Rogue One, Solo, the Holiday Special and the behind-the-scenes stories of how the films were made. Roughly a third are aimed at casual fans, a third at regular rewatchers, and the rest at people who can name the Kessel Run distance to the decimal. Every question is checked against a cited source, so you can settle arguments with the explanation under each answer instead of trusting a random listicle. Play it solo, or use it as a ready-made round for movie night or pub trivia.
