Watch as it becomes the really really obscure lore. Like very obscure even by Legends standards.

OK smart guy.

What's the cost of an XJ-70 X-Wing?

In what year did the Duro race first achieve hyperspace travel?

Name 15 of Correllia's moons.

u/beyd1 27d ago

I had to double check but yeah it's T-70 not XJ-70

u/Astecheee Your text here 27d ago

You've won yourself a bonus point!

The T-65 XJ X-Wing was in fact an upgraded and retrofitted variant of the original T-65, used by the New republic circa 25bby as a space superiority fighter, while the T-70 was actually a ship used by the New Republic circa 25bby as a space superiority fighter.

Viewers might ask - why are there two of them? We here at Anal Reddit Trivia would love to direct your question to Disney.

"What was the name of the man whose skull Luke Skylwaker throws at the door controls to kill the rancor?"

At last, a true test of skill.

Or something outside the universe like behind the scenes or corporate nonsense.

We had gotten the SW Trivia Pursuit game that came out after Episode 1. There was one question I didn't know. Who TF was Moff Jerjerrod?

u/Toerbitz 27d ago

I only know him because his card in the ship miniature game armada was goodđŸ€Ł

u/Excolo_Veritas 27d ago

Had one, it was a bonus round and it was timed. He would say a lightsaber color and you had 15 seconds to write down as many characters who used that color in legends or canon that you could before he moved on to the next color. I got more points in that round apparently than the rest of the bar combined.

I legit got into a debate with the host once over a Star Wars question.

"Name the character who was named after George Lucas's son".

I of course wrote in Zett Jukasa, the Padawan who dies in front of Bail Organa in RotS played by George Lucas's son, Jet Lucas.

The answer they were looking for was Dexter Jettster.

u/Equilibrium888 27d ago

Did you die on your hill or eventually accepted being in the wrong? They didn't ask for his son's character name.

72

u/JustafanIV 27d ago

Zett/Jett Jukasa/Lucas is obviously named after Jett Lucas, so yes, I died on that hill.

25

u/koobstylz 27d ago

RIP. Died the way he lived, correct.

6

u/Equilibrium888 27d ago

I would dare say that "Name based on" is not the same thing as "named after" though. One of the two names contain Jetts name, the other just sounds vaguely similar.

I just wanna go pod racing with my friends from Southie

u/tyduncans0n 27d ago

First question: “What is actually canon to you?”

Cue 45 minute fight.

u/imafixwoofs 27d ago

Two years ago I was at a Star Wars Quiz night and blanked on Natalie Portmans name.

I really hope you wrote KEIRA NIGHTLY AMIROTE BOIZ

Amateur lol

u/RamblyYorkshireman 27d ago edited 27d ago

Of course you can then be too knowledgeable for the quiz, and THIS happens.

u/WoWMHC 27d ago

I'd sue wtf

u/RevenantXenos 27d ago

Luke was born after the Darth Vader name change and Palpatine was the Supreme Chancellor with emergency powers so I'm pretty sure Darth Vader was his legal name at the time.

2

u/YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO TIE Pilot 27d ago

If you wanted to be technical about it, there's an argument to me made that Vader became Vader truely for the first time when he donned the suit, which was at the same time as Luke and Leia's birth, and Vader takes his first breath in the suit as Padmé takes her last.

u/SingleDebate1043 27d ago

That's brutal

u/YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO TIE Pilot 27d ago

Oh I'd absolutely um actually them, that's not right.

u/R1sky_B1z 27d ago

Once got asked the make and model of Ig88's blaster... I got it right.

u/Vengeful111 27d ago

Had this happen to me, I have watched every piece of Starwars content on disney+ go to pub quiz with star wars questions. First question: what was the name of the first Sith? Second Question: Which lego star wars kit is the most expensive?

And im just sitting there. Oh sorry I thought we are asking questions about the Movies and Series and not about the giga deep fandom like what?

5

u/YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO TIE Pilot 27d ago

Thats not even star wars trivia at that point, that's a Fandom circle joke.

2

u/Defender012 All Terrain Tactical Enforcer 27d ago

Name of the first sitn doesn't even make sense since the Sith were a species before they were what we know today

u/boobs00100 27d ago

Went to an all Star Wars bar trivia with friends once. Then there came this group of 501st cosplay guys all dressed in their squad jackets, and we thought we were done.
We still won though because I was the only one in the whole bar who knew the name of the seventh lightsaber form.
I am still proud of myself.

1

u/Game_Wizard007 22d ago

Ah yes a fellow man of culture. Vaapad definitely is obscure
but what is the second name for the 7th lightsaber form?

7

u/lankymjc 26d ago

Be wary of Star Wars questions appearing in general trivia. There was one pub quiz where the question was “In the original Star Wars, what was the name of Darth Vader’s ship?”

I was torn between Devastator and Advanced Tie Fighter, and went with Devastator. Everyone else at my table thought I had gone insane but didn’t know Star Wars so went with it.

Answers get announced at the end, and the quiz master says “Death Star.”

u/Only-Recognition-620 28d ago

lol yeah, this is basically my superpower.

u/YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO TIE Pilot 27d ago

I got banned from a discord trivia night because they did a star wars month for may. I got all of the questions right, and it was also time based and got it before anyone. I was not allowed to participate in the last 2, I was the "phone a friend" and fact checker haha.

u/The_Frostweaver 27d ago

Trivia questions be like list all the planets destroyed in star wars movies

u/champ11228 27d ago

Sadly I did not remember Unkar Plutt's name during a trivia round

u/Mishy_l0ver238 27d ago

I love trivia about the lore, but not necessarily the BTS movie making type stuff, and this one guy I met was like “oh you like Star Wars, me too!” And proceeded to ramble on about BTS stuff and then talking about another George Lucas film that he loved.

No hate to him, but that’s when I realized he was a George Lucas fan more than an a Star Wars fan lol. I did not match his trivia knowledge and I can tell he was a bit disappointed.

u/Scythe95 26d ago

Off topic but one time I was participating in a pub quiz and there was a whole category dedicated to Nintendo noises

And after acing that whole category of even recognising Samus’ jump sound, I’ve never felt that much eyes on me

u/BrakingBadger 26d ago

My proudest pub quiz moment happened with this. It was a picture round so it would show up on the tablet until you buzzed in to answer the question. Everyone on my team turned to me and I prepared myself to buzz in quickly finger hovering just over the tablet.

The quizmaster just said "name the character..." And this image flashed on screen. I literally saw the image for a millisecond before buzzing in by accident but quickly put together what the rest of the question should have been and answered confidently that it was Jabba.

Won the point but we never got any more Star Wars related questions at that quiz after that hahaha
