Q 01The first Star Wars movie has which subtitle?
A New Hope
A New Hope was only added in 1981. The film opened in 1977 as plain Star Wars, and the 'Episode IV' title arrived with a re-release after the first sequel had already come out.
Q 02Who created Star Wars and directed the first film?
George Lucas
George Lucas first tried to buy the film rights to Flash Gordon, the space serial he had loved as a boy. When he couldn't get them, he wrote his own space adventure instead.
Q 03The small green Jedi Master Yoda dies at what age?
900
900 years old is his own count: "When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not," he teases Luke, moments before he lies down and fades away into the Force.
Q 04On which swampy planet does Yoda live in hiding during the original Star Wars trilogy?
Dagobah
Dagobah is where Luke crash-lands in a swamp looking for a great Jedi Master, and at first he has no idea that the odd little creature pestering him is the teacher he came to find.
Q 05Chewbacca belongs to which tall, hairy species?
Wookiee
Wookiee roars like Chewbacca's were never acted: the film's sound designer mixed them from recordings of real animals, mostly bears, with walruses, lions and badgers.
Q 06Which traditional weapon of his people does Chewbacca carry?
A bowcaster
A bowcaster is a kind of laser crossbow. In The Force Awakens Han Solo borrows Chewbacca's, sends stormtroopers flying and tells him, "I like this thing."
Q 07R2-D2 belongs to which class of droid?
Astromech
Astromech droid R2-D2 is the reason the Rebels can win in the first film: Princess Leia hides the stolen Death Star plans inside him just before she is captured.
Q 08C-3PO boasts of being fluent in over how many forms of communication?
Six million
Six million forms of communication make him a walking translator: in Return of the Jedi he speaks the Ewoks' language, and they decide the golden droid must be a god.
Q 09Who built C-3PO, according to The Phantom Menace?
Anakin Skywalker
Anakin Skywalker builds the droid from spare parts as a slave boy on Tatooine, to help his mother with her work. The fussy droid's maker grows up to be Darth Vader.
Q 10How did Han Solo get the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian?
He won it in a card game
He won it in a card game called sabacc. Years later Han lends the ship back to Lando for a great battle, and this time it is Lando who has to promise that it won't get a scratch.
Q 11What gives a lightsaber blade its colour?
A kyber crystal
A kyber crystal in the handle powers the blade and gives it its colour. Kylo Ren's red blade spits and crackles because the crystal inside it is cracked.
Q 12Which Jedi Master carries a purple lightsaber, at the request of the actor who played him?
Mace Windu
Mace Windu's purple blade exists because Samuel L. Jackson asked for one: purple is his favourite colour, and he wanted to be easy to pick out among all the other Jedi.
Q 13Darth Vader is the father of which two twins?
Luke and Leia
Luke and Leia were split up as babies to hide them from their father: Luke grew up on a desert farm and Leia as a princess far away, and for years neither knew the other existed.
Q 21What does the crime lord Jabba the Hutt look like?
A big slug with a wide mouth
A big slug with a wide mouth, and a real one: Jabba was a one-ton puppet, among the largest ever built for a film, and it took three puppeteers to bring him to life.
Q 22Which Star Wars pilot owns the rolling round droid BB-8?
Poe Dameron
Poe Dameron's droid looks like a computer effect but was mostly a real puppet on set: puppeteers rolled BB-8 along on rods that were erased from the picture afterwards.
Q 23The character everyone calls Baby Yoda has what real name?
Grogu
Grogu's name stayed a secret for the show's whole first season. It came out only when the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano spoke with him through the Force and learned it.
Q 14Who provided Darth Vader's deep voice in the films?
James Earl Jones
James Earl Jones recorded the lines later in a studio. David Prowse, the bodybuilder inside the suit, spoke them on set, but the director wanted a darker voice than his West Country accent.
Q 15Princess Leia is a princess of which planet?
Alderaan
Alderaan's rulers adopted Leia as a baby and raised her as their daughter. In the first film the Death Star destroys the whole planet while she is made to watch.
Q 16What shape is the Death Star?
A sphere like a moon
A sphere like a moon is exactly what fools the heroes: Luke takes it for a small moon until Obi-Wan says, "That's no moon. It's a space station."
Q 17What is unusual about the sky over the desert planet Tatooine?
It has two suns
It has two suns, and so do some real planets: in 2011 NASA's Kepler telescope found one, Kepler-16b, which NASA calls a Tatooine-like planet.
Q 18Where was the desert planet Tatooine filmed for the original Star Wars?
Tunisia
Tunisia's desert had a surprise for the crew: a rare rainstorm hit just as filming began. Luke's home was shot in a real underground hotel in the town of Matmata.
Q 19The furry little Ewoks live on the forest moon of which planet?
Endor
Endor's Ewoks were invented to show a tribe with stone-age weapons bringing down a high-tech Empire: in Return of the Jedi their logs and rocks help defeat its armoured troops.
Q 20Where were Return of the Jedi's Ewok scenes filmed?
A redwood forest in California
A redwood forest in California supplied the giant trees. For the speeder bike chase a cameraman simply walked through it, filming about one frame a second, so the playback looks blindingly fast.
Q 24What is special about Darth Maul's red lightsaber?
It has two blades, one at each end
It has two blades, one at each end, so Maul can fight two Jedi at once, spinning it like a staff, until Obi-Wan Kenobi slices the weapon in half.
Q 25A nine-year-old slave boy wins what race in The Phantom Menace?
A podrace
A podrace: the boy wins the Boonta Eve Classic, and with it a bet a Jedi had made with his owner, so he leaves Tatooine a free child on his way to Jedi training.
Q 26In Attack of the Clones, the Republic's whole clone army is copied from which bounty hunter?
Jango Fett
Jango Fett asked for one extra thing in his pay: a clone left unchanged and allowed to grow up at a normal pace, whom he raised as his son, Boba.
Q 27Star Wars Day is celebrated on which date, thanks to a pun?
May 4
May 4 works because 'May the Fourth' sounds like 'May the Force be with you'. In 1979 Margaret Thatcher's party ran a London newspaper advert telling her, "May the Fourth Be with You."
Q 28The porgs in The Last Jedi were invented because of what real animals on the filming location?
Puffins
Puffins nest all over Skellig Michael, the Irish island used for Luke's hideaway, and the law protects them, so instead of erasing every bird the crew turned them into porgs.
Q 29Hoth, home of the Rebels' Echo Base, is covered entirely in what?
Snow and ice
Snow and ice were real: the Hoth scenes were filmed on a glacier in Norway during a fierce snowstorm, and some shots were taken just outside the door of the crew's hotel.
Q 30What does Darth Vader freeze Han Solo in at the end of The Empire Strikes Back?
Carbonite
Carbonite was really a test: Vader froze Han first to find out whether a person could survive it, because he planned to freeze Luke the same way.
