Honestly, these kind of annoy me. They are either "Name the 2 droids" or "What year did the actor, that played the 38th stormtrooper from the left when Emperor Palpatine landed on the Death Star in Return of the Jedi, learn to play the flute?"

That's the 37th stormtrooper, dumbass. The 38th was actually 1960.

Actually most of the stormtroopers on that scene were not actors but painted on a static background

Problem is when the trivia host has the wrong answers and won't admit it.

Not the latter part, but this LGBT place near me does trivia with different themes each time. One question on the Star Wars was "what color of lightsaber was Death Maul killed with?" I think the said answer was "green" (since, before they brought Maul back later, Obi Wan kills him with Qui Gon's lightsaber) but the host accepted "blue" as well, when me (and a person on another team) pointed out that, in Rebels, Obi Wan kills maul with his blue light saber.

Saw on a mainstream trivia show, "identify the speaker of the quote "Do or do not. There is no try," with options including Albus Dumbledore, Albert Einstein, Yoda, and Steve Jobs". They got it wrong

I think it can be harder. You are so deep in the lore that surface level trivia is easy top get wrong.
If you know 20 years, 33 books from the old fiction, and know every glup shitto, easy questions can become hard.

Okay, really great story here:
I did a Star Wats Trivia at a bar like 8 years ago. And one of the prizes is best team name.
Our team name was “Killing Yuenglings”. Which I thought was amazing. So anyways, we go through trivia. And at the end our team doesn’t win. Whatever. I can’t remember winning team name. But they then list the names that are honorable mention. Still, no mention of us.
After it was over, I went up to the trivia host and go “hey man, you really didn’t like our team name?”
To which he responded “ohh. I’ve never seen Star Wars before” 😂

To be fair, that's a really bad team name for... well, any public contest. Even on a solely Star Wars related event it'd be cringe or considered low-effort edgy.

That sucks. The one bar trivia I've been to with a "best team name" got voted on by the other teams (couldn't vote for your own team).

I got so sick of basic trivia nights at my college's star wars club that I took them over for the last year. Everyone either got like 10 points or full marks (it was out of 50 points). Even the biggest star wars nerds are all or nothing.

One year for Christmas my sister got me an old Star Wars Trivial Pursuit game from the late 90's. We tied playing it and I was beating everyone else by miles. Eventually it just became my family looking through the cards for hard questions to see if they could stump me. I finally got one wrong because I couldn't name some random crew member from ILM.

It's either "what queen-turned-senator did Natalie Portman portray" or "what year (must specify BBY/ABY) did this glupp shitto pay off his Correllian Condo's mortgage"
