The Ssi-Ruuvi used entechment to absorb power from living things(often resuklting in their death). This included humans and Pweck. This of course all happenned on the plaent Lwekk, during the events of "Truce at Bakura". However, by the time of NJO, the Pweck were in revolt. In addition, the process had been refined to the extent that enteched individuals assumed a mantle of immortality...

So...would that then make Dash Rendar a canonical character, and thus not strictly EU? Hey....wait a sec. That wasn't a EU question. Oh well you're the boss, so it's cool.

 

I'll have to check that out.

 

Q. The Outrider makes a cameo appearance in one of the movies. Which one ? Where ?

I know the answer....but can't remember the name. Will edit post later if there is time.

phreak, I will leave you a little while to come up with a pic if you want the bonus, otherwise I am awarding one point :)

 

* * *

 

I think Aurra Sing was in the movie before she became an EU phenomenon, so that was why the answer escaped me. I loved the Aurra Sing comics :)

 

There were always rumours that she was going to re-appear in ep2 but that never happenned.

 

* * *

 

I am satisfied with Phreaks answer, (if you were thinking of someone else sivy. let us know)

 

I'll resume :)

 

Q. What is Juri Juice ? Who is a particular fan of it ?

BAH!!!! Aurra Sing!!!! Told you I knew the answer, but no name. Curses!!

 

Q. What is Juri Juice ? Who is a particular fan of it ?

Juri Juice is an intoxicating drink commonly served at Wuher's cantina in Mos Eisley. Kabe, a female Chadra-Fan who frequents the establishment, is addicted to it.

Source: SWCCG...from memory.

 

Since I assume that I am right, I will ask the next one:

According to EU lore, what are three things that can enhance/increase one's natural force potential?

 

Bonus: List sources (just quick names, no details needed)

 

Extra Bonus: find more than 3 (there's only 3 that I'm aware of)

 

Not intended to be a louse question. Only quick answers.

Kabe's tale is also told in the wonderful "Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina" compilation.

 

Asking a question that refers to material that *only* ever appeared in SWCCG or RPG sourcebooks is a crime punishable by death in this quiz ! :p

 

* * *

 

As for your question, this is what I can come up with :

 

1. Kaiburr Crystal - Source Splinter of The Minds Eye - as well as the YJJ novel 'Lightsabers' :)

 

2. Those force crystals in JO, I dont know of any other name for them !

 

3. Certain lightsaber Crystals also have this effect - source KOTOR/KOTOR II

 

4. Locations :

Dark side places :

Korriban, Byss, Vjun, Dagobah..sources ESB, Dark Empire, KOTOR

 

Light side places : The Jedi Temple, Ilum, The Valley of the Jedi....sources PT, Clone Wars cartoon

 

5. Partnerships :

*Sith Master/Apprentice bond

*Master-Padawan bonds

*Force Melds : I Jedi, NJO(used in piloting)

 

* * *

 

Please let me know if that is sufficient Jedispy, so I can give myself the 3 points ! :p

Lets continue, shall we ?

 

Q. Who is Coleman Trebor ? What species was he ? What is special about his name ?

A Winner is U.

 

Didn't know about the KOTOR thing. Never played it myself.

 

Didn't know about the other stuff too. Cool. (#5 that is)

 

A.

(I assume he shows up in EU at some point in time.)

Coleman Trebor is a Jedi Master and member of the Jedi council. What is so special about his name is that he's named after a real person named Rob Coleman (Trebor is Robert backwards) that is in some way connected to Star Wars. (I can't remember role and purpose). His species is Vurk.

 

I can't remember where I heard this, so source = From within the confines of Jedispy's endless knowledge of useless trivia.

 

 

Q.

Name 5 dancing girls in Jabba's palace at the time of ROTJ (don't forget about EU characters.)

 

Bonus: Include species names.

Rob Coleman is one of the CG honchos at ILM. Coleman Trebor, the jedi that gets shot off the balconyby Jango is named after him. (this falls into 'movie EU')

 

source : starwars.com

 

* * *

 

A. 5 dancing girls...easy :) Take a pick

 

Oola - Twilek

Lyn Me - Twilek

Rystall - Half Human/Half unknown

Greeata - Rodian

Arica(Mara Jade) - Human (source TTT, Mara Jade Comix)

Leia - Human

Manaroo - Aruzan

A: Cortosis is a type of ore. It has the ability to short out lightsabers that come in contact with the stuff. Can be used as weapons against Jedi, or lined along walls so jedi can;t cut through with their lightsabers.

 

Q: What Jedi lived with the Tusken Raiders?

Q: What Jedi lived with the Tusken Raiders?

 

Aah. Interesting character this one :)

 

A'Sharad Hett :) The son of Sharad Hett, a jedi killed by former padawan of the Dark Woman come bounty hunter - Aurra Sing. Sharad was originally to be trained by Ki Adi Mundi, but he chose to live among the Tuskens on Tattooine.

 

Hett eventually confronted the Dark Woman, and ended up becoming her student(with teh blessing of Ki Adi Mundi)

 

Hett did return to the Jedi Order, and attained the rank of master buy the time of the Clone Wars. He became quite close to anakin, during the battle on Jabiim, where he mentored him in teh absence of Obi-Wan whom was presumed dead at the time...

 

Because of his history with the Tuskens, actually was one of the few to know anakin's dark secret about Tatooine...

 

source - numerous Dark Horse Comics, from Outlander to Republic...

Q. Who assumed the title of 'The Trickster Goddess' ? What was the motivation behind this ??

Hmm got me on that one. I was thinking of Sharrad Hett. But they were both living with the Sand People. So win-win.

 

A: Jaina Solo. It was all part of the psychological warfare against the Yuuzhan Vong. it was very effective in pissing them off :p

 

Q: Who was Queen Amidala's predecessor and what happened to said person?

Is there one of these for the films? I havnt seen one so I'm guessing there isnt. Astroy - being a mod in the other fourms too can you make an OT one PLEASE.

 

 

A: Padame Amidala took over from King Veruna who abdicated the throne in scandal.

 

I'll pass on a question

hmm... interesting. But you see, if you are just limiting the content to what was actually said in the movie, then the questions will be fairly limited. It would also be damn easy for the likes of EU TITANS like me and phreak :p

 

...So rather than "who owned the cantina" which is an EU question, a movie *only* trivia thread will have things like "how many systems was the alien who confronted Luke in the Cantina wanted on ??" is that what you mean....

 

I wouldnt mind hearing what phreak has to say...of course Astro would have to be given extra powers if he was to run such a thread over at the OT section....

 

I'll keep you posted :)

 

* * *

 

In the meantime, get your teeth stuck into a real challenge, the EU quiz !

A. Jabba's full name is Jabba Desilijic Tiure... Source : Tales from Jabbas Palace :)

Q. Han made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs....since a parsec is a unit of measurement of *distance* rather than time, what does this boast actually mean ?? make sure you give a souce :)

A: It means he got really close to the Black Holes (Maw Cluster) making the Kessel Run shorter. Source: Han Solo Trilogy.

 

And I'm not bothering with the OT trivia

looks liek we double dipped the Jabba question...ah well.. me first !

 

btw. technically, the *original* source for Hans handling of teh kessel run was actually in the Jedi Academy Trilogy...AC Crispin actually just expanded on what Kevin J Anderson had described... :)

 

but you still get the point :)

 

he he...I thought movie trivia would be below your awesome mind phreakski. Nonetheless, I think it may be something non EU freaks would be interested in.... Ive put it up for discussion at swforums so we'll see how it goes :)

 

in the meantime, asking a question. No ? Ok I will !!

 

2 point question :)

Q. Brielfly outline the origins and evolution of the Xwing fighter.... (use spoiler tags if necessary for any ep3 related content).. Make sure your answer covers right up to the end of the NJO :)
