Jan Gaarni Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 Please leave the questions up awhile before you move on. There's been atleast 2 questions now in the last 3 days that I could have answered. A: Mos Eisley, Dockingbay 94 and I think the second one is in Theed, just after Anakin and Padme arrives there in AotC. Not gonna search for any pictures, it's late, I'm tired. Just give me the full pot as compensation for not letting me answer those 2 questions earlier (tatooine and ewok one).
ZBomber Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 Q: How many of you actually know the answer of the top of your head? It's really not trivia if you cheat and research it.....
Jan Gaarni Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 A: Not answered anything in here that I didn't know off the top of my head. And that includes this answer. But what's wrong with doing alittle research? Maybe you'll learn something knew about Star Wars. I know I have in the past.
ZBomber Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 It's not as fun if you have to look it up. I know whenever I do trivia, I only answer the ones I know WITHOUT looking at Google or something.
Jan Gaarni Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 What I don't find fun is when I do look something up, and I precede to write the answer, some fool answers before me with a copy and past of the exact same thing I found. That bugs me to no extent. Anyway, let's not get off-topic and breaking Astro's fine rules, shall we. I pass on making a question.
jedispy Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 Jan, I think you can get 2 points since you did describe the scene and what was going on. What I was looking for was Looks like no question in play. I'll stop hogging it myself.
abespam Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 I'll ask a q then. Q How many trooper helmets was the ewok at the ROTJ celebration using as drums. Also what colours were they.

It's really not trivia if you cheat and research it..... hey Zed, unless you want to participate, you can leave your insightful comments for elsewhere Read the rules ...Spam again and it'll be deleted. Not being nasty, just efficient. This thread is all about questions and answers. Any discussion about points in the questions/answers is cool too Researching is highly encouraged, including using screenies etc to back up an answer. This has many benefits. Firstly it reduces people guessing, and providing incomplete answers. Also as Jan said, looking things up can be a great way to learn things. This thread or the EU trivia wouldnt last very long if it was a series of "off the top of your head" answers. * * * Jan if theres been questions you could've answered, you should have answered them Yes, paraphrasing of sourced material is preferable over copy n pasting, but this is usually easily spotted yes Jan because its the opening round here, Im being lenient on everyone, despite their laziness you can have the 2 points jedispy leaving a question up for a day is OK, anything less than that is probably jumping the gun. I check daily, so if things are stagnating I'll move it along nice Q about artoo though. * * * abe's question stands : Q. How many trooper helmets was the ewok at the ROTJ celebration using as drums. Also what colours were they ? mtfbwya
guybroom Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 A: Off the top of mu head (happy now you guys?) there are 4. one is black, the other 3 white. I am sure this is wrong though, so i'll pass a question. [EDIT] Checked the tape and i knew it was wrong. The answer is 5 helmets: 2 black and 3 white. I am positive of the answer now, but ill still pass
Astrotoy7 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Posted April 12, 2005 he he...point to guybroom with successful second attempt. A *perfect* example of the value of researching an answer * * * Q. Name the Queen of Naboo who took over after Padme(as seen in AOTC) ? mtfbwya
Sivy Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Queen Jamillia q) name the 3 creatures that Obi-Wan Anakin and Padme faced in the Geonosian excecution arena, and which one was set upon who.
abespam Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Obi wan - acklay Anakin - reek Padme - nexu ************* Q Whose hand gets cut of by Obi-wan in Mos Eisley Cantina
ET Warrior Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 That would be Dr. Evazan. He's got the death sentence on 12 systems you know. Edit! nonono! It wasn't Evazan whose arm got cut off...it was his friend. D'oh! I don't remember his friends name, only that it was an Aqualish...dast.
Astrotoy7 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Posted April 12, 2005 Originally posted by ET Warrior that it was an Aqualish...dast. it was Ponda Baba, or "Walrus Face" as they called him in the old figurines. I wont take the point, though neither will you ET. It shall remain a mute point * * * Q. The Death Star Escape from ANH, where Luke and Han man the turrets...who was on the top turret and who manned the lower turret ? bonus : pic mtfbwya
El Sitherino Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I believe it was Han on top, Luke on bottom.

guybroom Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 As there are no questions up I'll take the opening for one. Q: Name 3 other racers other than Anikan in the podrace in TPM
El Sitherino Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Sebulba Ody Mandrell Ben Quadinaros Pass on question.
Astrotoy7 Posted April 13, 2005 Author Posted April 13, 2005 Originally posted by InsaneSith Sebulba Ody Mandrell Ben Quadinaros Pass on question. It would be nice if you could ask a question now and then * * * Q. Who was that getting choked to death and thrown by Vader at the start of ANH ? Where else is he mentioned ? mtfbwya
El Sitherino Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Originally posted by Astrotoy7 It would be nice if you could ask a question now and then I'm not good at making questions, they're entirely too easy. A: General Motti? The one that mocks Vaders faith in the force.
Shok_Tinoktin Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Originally posted by Astrotoy7 Q. Who was that getting choked to death and thrown by Vader at the start of ANH ? Where else is he mentioned ? mtfbwya A) Captain Antilles. He is also mentioned by C-3PO as the previous owner of R2-D2 and himself. Q) What were the callsigns of Luke and Han while on Hoth?
abespam Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 A) Luke - Echo 3 Han - Echo 7 Q) How many people did the Sarlacc swallow during ROTJ
coupes. Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Does that really qualify as a trivia question ? I'm pretty sure you don't even know the answer to that withouth having to watch the sequence... This is more like a Who's the first to bother watching the sequence and post the answer kinda question. This is hardly fun. So... of course I don't know the answer, but I do know it swallowed Boba Fett and that he died there.
Astrotoy7 Posted April 13, 2005 Author Posted April 13, 2005 Originally posted by coupes. Does that really qualify as a trivia question ? This is hardly fun. aww he he... we've has Z's trivia "off the top of your head rant" and now coupes chimes in... yes, counting questions suck, but they are still trivial as counting questions go though, this one isnt too bad....
