129 free Star Wars trivia questions with answers. Think you know the galaxy far, far away? This Star Wars trivia quiz starts with easy warm-ups about the Skywalkers, droids and Death Stars, then climbs into genuinely hard Star Wars trivia: which real ruin inspired Yavin 4, whose voice became Garindan, what fake line David Prowse read for Vader's big reveal, and which volcano happened to erupt while Revenge of the Sith was shooting. There are 182 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.
