50 free Star Wars: the Last Jedi trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Star Wars: The Last Jedi trivia quiz covers Rian Johnson's 2017 film, the eighth episode of the Skywalker saga and the most argued-about Star Wars movie ever made. The plot questions run from the bombing of the dreadnought and Poe's mutiny to Luke's three lessons on Ahch-To, the Force connection between Rey and Kylo, the casino planet Canto Bight, Snoke's throne room, Holdo's lightspeed sacrifice and the salt-flat battle on Crait. The harder half covers the production: the working title, the Irish headlands and Croatian city and Bolivian salt flat that played alien worlds, the actor who took over Chewbacca, why Yoda was a puppet again, the royal princes and pop star hidden in stormtrooper armour, the movies Johnson had his story group watch, Mark Hamill's public disagreement about Luke, the record-breaking opening and the review-bombing that followed. Easy questions suit anyone who has seen it once; the expert ones will test even committed fans. Every answer was checked against the film's Wikipedia article and its cited sources before publishing.

Q 07What does Luke confess he briefly considered doing to the young Ben Solo?
Killing him in his sleep

It is torn in half

Q 17Where was the battle on the salt-flat planet actually filmed?
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia: the world's largest salt flat, whose white crust stood in for the planet's surface; the red mineral layer beneath was added for the film.
Q 18What is the twist behind Luke's confrontation with the First Order on the salt flats?
He is a Force projection and never actually there
He is a Force projection and never actually there: Luke projects himself across the galaxy from Ahch-To; Kylo realises it when his blade passes through him, and the effort kills Luke.
Q 19What does the stablehand child do in the film's final shot?
