50 free Star Wars Planets trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
The Star Wars galaxy runs from the Deep Core, where a supermassive black hole keeps the hyperspace lanes unstable, out past the Outer Rim into Wild Space and the Unknown Regions. Its planets tend to be one thing each: desert, ice, swamp, forest moon, a city 5,127 levels deep. Most of them were built out of real places, from the troglodyte hotel in Matmata and the Mayan ruins of Tikal to a glacier near Finse and a logging tract in northern California that was clear-cut as soon as the Ewoks left. This quiz covers both the lore and the locations: where the regions sit, which planet is the zero coordinate, how Tatooine got its name, why Dagobah looks like the Carboniferous, what Lucas called the capital in early drafts, which exoplanets NASA matched to which worlds, and which moon Oscar Isaac asked to be from. Expect Coruscant, Hoth, Endor, Alderaan, Geonosis, Yavin 4, Kashyyyk and a few worlds from the sequels. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer.

A supermassive black hole

Metropolis
For the street level in Attack of the Clones, Doug Chiang turned instead to Blade Runner.
