Star Wars Nerd King of the Mountain

Ok... Here's how it's going to go. I'll ask a Star Wars question. First one to provide a correct answer (to prove correctness in the event that the questioner doesn't check back fast enough to verify, state the source of your knowledge. So if you read it in a book, throw up a book title.) becomes king of Dork Mountain and must throw out their own challenge question. Anything Starwars (movies, books, music) is considered fair game).

I'll start off easy

Question 1: Who wrote the novel form of Return of the Jedi?

Correct! Fire away with your question!

Name the "forgotten" installment that came between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.

Hint: Think literature.

What's the name of the planet of force "witches" that Luke discovers in the books?

Dathomir.


True or false:

Luke's original last name was "Starkiller."

True or False Luke was originally a chick?

True or false: The original Jabba the Hutt was just a fat guy in a fuzzy suit.

False but true. He wasn't fuzzy, but he did have hair.

This is like the Nerdlympics....

The Han Solo trilogy.

Hehe!

The Han Solo Adventures.


Denis Lawson (the actor who played Wedge Antilles) is related to another Star Wars cast member. Name the relation.

He's Ewan McGregor's uncle.

What accent did Lucas originally envision for C-3PO?

New fawking York!


Name the big lizard critters that the Stormtroopers are riding in A New Hope.

Dewbacks.

What planet did Lucas originally plan as the location of the final battle in Return of the Jedi?

[Edited on Apr 08, 2005 by DarthSmurf]

Heh. I don't mind being a Star Warks geek. It was the first movie I (remember having) saw in a theater. Needless to say, it had a big impact on me.

First book I had read to me as a child was the RotJ childrens book the day I was brought home from the hospital because my sis wanted to have it read to her.

Kyyshak, the wookie homeworld. Would have been so much better than fucking teddy bear planet.


Boba Fett's ship, Slave I is based on an usual desgin inspiration. Name it.

Kashyyyk

Am I right?

damn. beaten again.

Yes, actually. I spelled it wrong.

Either RotJ or Superman III was the first movie I saw in the theater (Which ever came out first that year).
So I was ate up with Star Wars as a kid, but It's been a while. Plus Lucas raped my childhood memories with that Episode I & II bullshit.
I will not be seeing III. Ever.

Can't remember the ref... but isn't it based on a streetlamp?

Radar dish.
Translate this Ewok word: "Goonda"
