Ok... i think these boards are beginning to look empty. it looks like Com and me are the only one posting here... and sometimes you see Juztyn or MikeC place some info.
Well i thought we should put in a game or something.

STAR WARS TRIVIA!
Here are the rules:
I will ask a question and the first 3 guys that answers correctly will get points. There is only one answer per person possible.
Its Wednesday today. I will look if i can place a new question Friday. i will ask 20 questions in total. And the big winner will win a price :D
First good answer wins 5 points
Second good answer wins 2 points
Third good answer wins 1 point
1st Question!
The creature laying at Jabba's tale in his palace, (RotJ) What kind of creature is that?
Good luck
I believe his name was Salacious Crumb. I don't recall off the top of my head what his species was.
Got it. Kowakian monkey-lizard.
:monkey4:
Ok, so its not a Kowakian monkey-lizard, but its the closest smiley we've got.
well i wanted to post a new one.... so ill just say: Got it. Kowakian monkey-lizard. oh i got myself the right answer :D
Ok... we got 3 good anwers.
so the points go to:
MikeC: 5 points
Mister E: 2 points
Wraith 8(:D): 1 point
2nd Question!
The Millenium Falcon made The Kesselrun. But how fast was it?
So how fast did the Milleium Falcon do over the Kesselrun?
(easy one)
Well, its not really a speed but he made the Kessel run in under 12 parsects. That's the distance he was from the Maw (cluster of black holes). The closer you got to the Maw the faster you had to go to keep from getting sucked in.
I'll have to see if I can find any references to the actual speed he was doing.
Well, the description I gave is out of the Jedi Academy Trilogy of books. starwars.com reports a slightly diffrent version of what the 12 parsects means.

You really shouldn't post links to the answers, that's the same source I was gonna use. Kinda ruins it. :D
Your right about parsecs not being a speed value but a distance measurement. And it's not the distance he was from the Maw Cluster, but the distance the transports had travelled. The distance was under 12 parsecs, which amount to around 39 lightyears (rounded off downwards). !NOTE! The distance light travels in a year in Star Wars is slightly longer then in our galaxy since it is based on Coruscant time and not Earth time.
How fast he went, depends on several factors we don't know, like, where did Han start from, how far apart the transports were from eachother when they started to move, if the 12 parsecs are the total distance they covered or if each travelled the same amount of distance, which also brings up the question of how many transports were involved, how much time did it take to deliver the goods and the speed of the transports, and finally, what was in between these transports, allthough that last factor probably was the Maw Cluster. :D Probably left some factors out. :p
And am I late to answer the first question? :) I've been busy lately. Here's the answer anyway:
It's a Kowakian monkey-lizard. He's Jabba's court jester and his name is Salacious Crumb.
NEXT!!!
it looks like Com and me are the only one posting here... and sometimes you see Juztyn or MikeC place some info.
Oh, and once again you leave me out! That's ok, I get it when I'm not wanted. :(
*walks away and starts sulking*

ok... the score:
MikeC: 10 points
Mister E: 3 points
Jan Gaarni: 2 points
Wraith 8: 1 point
3rd Question!
In the Icy cave on Hoth, Luke cut of an arm on the Wampa Ice monster. Wich arm did he cut off???
(another easy one :D)
Oh, please. I should get 3 points for simply posting first. ;) lol
His right arm, just below the shoulder blade. :D
Oh what the hell :D... is right hand :D
wel wel wel.... 3 good answers......
MikeC: 10 points
Jan Gaarni: 7 points
Mister E: 5 points
Wraith 8: 2 poins
4th Question:
Now this will be the ultimite easy one. what planet got destroyed by the first Death Star???
Well, that depends.
The Death Star was built at Despayre, where it after completion blew it up.
But you might not be thinking of this planet, so Alderaan was the second planet it blew up. :D
Alderaan...i think the first death star only damaged part of despayre....i'm not certain about that though.
I think they annihilated it with everything on it....
The answer is Despayre. It is described as being "utterly obliterated".
:deathstar
Well, I just went back and reread the question. The way its asked I guess Despayre or Alderaan would be acceptable answers.
hmmmm.... i never excutaly heard that that planet was destroyed. but Tarkin said in A new hope... lets test the fire power of this station. and i guessed that the laser wasnt used yet......
so...
The answer i was looking for:
ALDERAAN.
Jan Gaarni: 12 points
MikeC: 11 points
Mister E: 5 points
Wraith 8: 2 points
Rogue 15: 2 poinrs
5th Question:
What is the other name for 'Sandpeople'???
The Sandpeople are also known as Tusken Raiders.
And Tarken never actually said it hadn't been tested before. What he said was that he thought it was time to demonstrate to the galaxy how powerfull the Empire really was at the time, and he did it by blowing up Alderaan.
Despayre, like Dantooine, was too remote, perhaps even more remote, to make an effective demonstration, thus people never really heard about it being destroyed.
Tusken Raiders.
I've come into this kinda late. Lets get some really tough questions (as I pull out my SW Encyclopedia). :)
Tusken Raiders
Nice to see you back Dave. :D
a hard one hah? hmmmm
i have to think for a hard one... i know a hard question... but it isnt to be found in the encyclopedia. :D but if you want it :D just say :D
Oh BTW.... did any of you guys read a lot of Star Wars books??? cause im thinking of getting questions out of that.
ok.... the answer was ofcourse:
TUSKEN RAIDER!
the points so far:
Jan Gaarni: 17 points
MikeC: 12 points
Mister E: 5 points
Wraith 8: 2 points
Rogue 15: 2 points
Darth Evad: 2 points
6th Question:
Apart from being bigger,
In what way was The Second Ddeath Star better than the first??
(Maybe easy maybe tough)
Ooooh, that's a long question.
To start with, it was bigger. :D
Had it been completed, it would boast better armament, repulsors, engines, hyperdrives and shielding. It also had a more sofisticated targeting and tracking system, in addition to being able to regulate the superlasers powerusage. The problem with the famous auxilary exhaustport from the previous Death Star was also fixed, by using thousands (or was it millions?) of millimeter wide holes.
These are the improvments I can remember on the fly. :)
Priority number 1 would be to remove that pesky design problem that let the Rebels destroy the first Death Star. That was done by using a system of milimeter wide vent holes.
The Superlaser was more powerful, but it was also more accurate and could fire more frequently than in the original design. As Jan mentioned it also had more weapons, etc.
it was more powerful because IG-88 copied himself to the computer core, which gives the laser greater accuracy...however, the imperials, emperor, vader, etc didn't know that IG-88 was the computer core. hehe
Well, it was better cuz it was bigger and had a shield.
well you all were right ofcourse.... i was going for the laser... cause it also could shoot starships.....

Jan Gaarni: 22 points
