lonemarlin40 said:Typical propaganda and cheap directing tricks 😁 ....clearly you girls don't know how to actually watch a movie!
And she wants to be a moderator too.....😕 😕

...and you're living proof that Stormtroopers have terrible eyesight (which explains why they're just cannon fodder) because I am definitely not her 🙂 ....

...so why don't you enlighten me on how to "properly" watch a film? 😕 Do I need to sit in a specific recliner (but absolutely not on the sofa)? Do I have to hold my drink only with my left hand? Should I be sipping Lemonade (anything other than lemonade is forbidden)? Eat a ham sandwich with nothing but light mayo? What's the secret formula?

I mean, looking at this, the future of the Star Wars subforum is basically frozen solid. If it's not on ice, it's definitely stuck in a vacuum.

Since they won't let us mess around with actual Star Wars stuff, let's just play our own games here instead.

How about a little contest: whoever can list the most planets, cities, and locations from the Star Wars universe.
Whoever remembers the most becomes the moderator. 😁
(Obviously you could just Google it, but who has the energy for that? 😉)

Alright, I'll kick things off:

Naboo - planet 🙂

Here’s the list as I recall it:
Coruscant - the capital planet
Naboo - Padmé Amidala's planet
Tatooine - Luke Skywalker's planet
Geonosis - Saruman's planet
Jedi Archives - the archives, obviously
Jedi Temple - the temple, obviously
Kamino - home to those tall aliens
Alderaan - the late planet
Death Star - the killer of Alderaan
Mos Eisley - a planet
Yavin 4 - a planet
Bespin - a planet
Cloud City - a city in the clouds
Dagobah - where Yoda lives in the swamp
Hoth - a frozen planet
Death Star II - the second Death Star
Endor - a forested moon
Darth Vader's Palace - the palace of a massive worm

That should be everything.

Dantooine—the planet Princess Leia claims is a Rebel stronghold.
Ord Mantell—where Han Solo had that... unpleasant run-in with a certain bounty hunter.

Look, rapidmoose5, you totally ruined the vibe. I didn't think everyone was supposed to drop a full encyclopedia of planets right out of the gate; the whole point is to build on what each other says. One person mentions something, then the next person adds to it, and so on...

What, did you seriously think my memory only stretches as far as Naboo?

Fine, if we're being pedantic, I’ll add that you completely blanked on Dantooine—that's the planet Princess Leia said the Rebels hide out on—and you didn't even bring up the Gungan city. (Can't remember if I spelled that right myself)
And just for the record, Mos Eisley is a city, not a planet.

rapidstag74 and I both had Dantooine on the brain at the exact same time. 🙂

lonemarlin40 said: You think I only remember Naboo?

It felt weird when you only mentioned one, but now it’s on you all to recall another. 😁

lonemarlin40 said: And Mos Eisley is a city, not a planet.


I realized Mos Eisley wasn't a planet about half an hour ago while riding the bus.😁

But I have some grim news: nothing is coming from the Star Wars subforum.
There isn't enough material to justify its own subforum, and it would just drain the entire sci-fi section. It doesn't make sense to open it.
At least, that's what the elders say. 😢

Oh man, a Star Wars trivia quiz?

Alright, here are a few questions I've cooked up for you...

1. What's the name of Kashyyyk?
2. What kind of alien species is Greedo?
3. Which alien species does Admiral Ackbar belong to?
4. In one weird, unofficial American fan dub, how did they jokingly "rechristen" Chewbacca?
6. What's the name of Luke's wingman through all three major battles?
7. What exactly does the phrase "Bantha poodoo" mean?😁
8. Looking at the X-wing, Y-wing, A-wing, and B-wing: which one of these wasn't actually featured in the film?

I honestly don't see why you're asking these questions when everything is easily searchable online.
After all, any one of us could pose a few questions that almost nobody else would have the answer to.
For instance, why did the Imperial Fleet essentially collapse right after the Death Star was destroyed in the final episode?
And who actually came up with that clever idea involving the cable to bring down an AT-AT?
Or what kind of tech and extra gear 😬 is actually built into a Stormtrooper's helmet?...........

Anyway, let me pivot to a different topic.
Whatever anyone tells me, I’ll respond using actual quotes from Star Wars. To be honest, I have zero interest in quoting that mess from Episode I or Episode II—at least not enough to bother, save for a few honorable, albeit rare, exceptions.

Besides, any one of us could throw out a few random questions that practically nobody else would have the answer to.

Well, try answering them without peeking at Google—to be honest, I'll admit that I'm totally stumped by fadedsailor932's questions.

...
This isn't some intense knowledge test; it's just all in good fun.

4. In some weird, niche American translation, what was "Chewbacca" called?

Maybe Chewbacca? 😁

I have a few questions myself:

1. Which actor was originally slated to play Anakin Skywalker instead of Hayden Christensen?

2. What is the connection between the Star Wars trilogies and Lord of the Rings?

3. What happened with Mark Hamill that nearly kept him from appearing in episodes 5 and 6?

4. In which recent film do Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher both appear?

4. in what recent movie do Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher both show up?


1. Leonardo DiCaprio? 😕

2. Saruman or Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) 🙂

3. He was in a nasty car wreck and had to get some facial reconstruction surgery. (If you look closely, he looks a bit different in episode 5 compared to 4.)

4. Jay and Silent Bob strike back 😉

1. Which actor was originally lined up to take on the role of Anakin Skywalker before they eventually went with Hayden Christensen?

It wasn't just one person, either—there were quite a few names floating around, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Joshua Jackson...

2. What’s the common thread connecting the newer Star Wars trilogies and Lord of the Rings?

Could it be Christopher Lee?

3. What happened to Mark Hamill that almost kept him from appearing in episodes 5 and 6?

Nature just wasn't on his side that day.😁

4. In which recent movie do we get to see both Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher together on screen?

Jay and Silent Bob strike back
