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 · 04-10-2005, 08:11 PM

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.

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 :

guybroom · 04-11-2005, 02:28 PM

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 · 04-12-2005, 06:08 AM

Q Whose hand gets cut of by Obi-wan in Mos Eisley Cantina

*ET Warrior* · 04-12-2005, 10:28 AM

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.

abespam · 04-13-2005, 02:15 AM

A)
Luke - Echo 3
Han - Echo 7

Q) How many people did the Sarlacc swallow during ROTJ

**coupes.** · 04-13-2005, 03:11 AM

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.

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

Astrotoy7 · 04-13-2005, 10:13 AM

In ROTJ there are SEVEN who fall in.

A word of warning to anyone who posts any more "counting" questions from now on.....DONT !

q) where does Leia tell Tarkin the rebel base is located?

*ET Warrior* · 04-13-2005, 12:37 PM

Q: What was the original name of return of the jedi? what happened to the name? BONUS: one possible reason why?

mtfbwya

*Sivy* · 04-14-2005, 09:45 AM

a homage is paid to this in AOTC by Jango hitting his head on the Slave I's door after his fight with Obi-wan.

Oh, you mean the Blue Harvest thing. Well yeah, they did a fake title and movie called Blue Harvest, so they could avoid overpaying because of the Star Wars title.

guybroom · 04-14-2005, 01:55 PM

Ive never heard of Blue harvest but its the same idea.

Ill take the question:

Q: how many atat's (

) go down in the hoth battle and how many were there over all in the battle?
