5 out of 5 on the OT
3 out of 5 on the PT
5 out of 5 on the EU

I have not read on peice of EU literature or comics.

And I spotted 2 instances where the answers might bewrong, one of the questions was the goof where Hamill says "Carrie!" but according to Burtt and FLF, he says "Hey!"

The other one was that "Splinter in the Minds Eye" was the first EU, which is debateable, seeing as the ANH novelization had scenes not in the film, thus it could be considered to be EU, by some accounts.

The Carrie thing I side with LFL and Burtt on. I've watched the movie more times than any human ever really should, and not once has it sounded like Carrie to me, it has always, and likely will always sound like Hey. There's a modulation in the hey, which comes from the word being interupted by the hug from Leia, but that's about it. As for the novelization of ANH being arguably the first EU, i'd say that would be a very difficult arguement to make. Beyond the fact that Lucasfilm's cannon policy considers the novelizations of the films cannon, it's the novelization of the movie. it's not a new story. it has some material that didn't make it to film, but that's true of any novelization, as they're generally based on scripts before knowing which scenes, or portions of scenes, will end up on the cutting room floor. I'd say Splinter still takes the first place trophy as far as being the first EU Novel.

Could you bring on something a tad more difficult please?

I got 14/15 right!

The only one I missed was what was Crushing and Lee's relationship. Which is more of a general movie buff question than a SW question.

Far too easy. Perfect 15.

I wrote my own SW quiz system for a Star Wars Combine contest. Let me see if I can find some of the questions:
- Subpro and Incom collaborated to produce which ship?
TL-118 "Starhammer"
C-73 Tracker
Z-95 Headhunter
T-65B X-Wing

- The idea for the design of Boba Fett's Slave I came from which of these items?
A blob of Play-Do GL's kids were playing with
A passing car with the back hatch open.
A cloud.
A wall-mounted Lamp

- The Verpine race uses a number system of:
Base 2
Base 6
Base 10
Base 16

- Mark Hamill has been busy since 1983. Which of the following cartoon or video game characters does he lend his voice to?
Batman's Joker
Starsiege's Harabec
Time Squad's Larry 3000
All of the Above

- The T-21 Light Repeating Blaster prop was made using what machine gun as its base?
Thompson Model 1928
Russian Degtyarev DPM
German MG42
British-used Lewis Gun

I put together a list of 75 questions like that.

14 out of 15. In my defense, the only one I missed was "Which movie cast went to visit the AOTC set." I chose "The Matrix", but it was "LOTR". Personally, I don't consider this much of a Star Wars question, but oh well.

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>

The two PT questions I missed was Cushing/Lee's relationship and the set visit.

The dead-tree version was harder.

5 out of 5 on OT (Yoda ranking)
5 out of 5 on PT (again, Yoda ranking)
5 out of 5 on spinoffs (I good)

The only one I wasn't entirely sure of was the dice replacement in the Trivial Pursuit game in the spinoffs section. Took a logical guess and got it right. Woo hoo!

I know because I have it, and I crush all opponents.

I guessed on that one too. R2 is the only main character that would comfortably roll, so I went with him... er.. it...

Actually, you don't "roll" him.

R2 is an electronic die. There is an LCD screen on the front. Tap R2's dome, and it selects a random number from 1 to 6.

While it makes annoying beeping sounds.

The one that came with the Star Wars Trivial Pursuit Special Edition did have annoying beeping sounds!

Then I will banish them to an alternate dimension full of annoying beeping sounds to avenge Kenny Baker and that guy who did R2's voice.
