Same as before (http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Timing-Quiz-How-well-do-you-know-Star-Wars-1977/topic/11353/)

Put the events in order and then guess the time each event starts. The correct order is worth 10 points, and any item out of order will lose you a point. Guess the time (the hours, minutes and seconds on the clock) each event starts. Each time is worth 3 points if within five minutes, 2 within ten minutes, and 1 point within 15 minutes.

Times are taken from the 1980 version of the film (TR47 DVDs).

Feel free to post your answers below. The only prize is knowing how awesome you are, so cheating is, of course, a no-no.

If you haven't created your answers yet, you probably don't want to read below.

This one was much harder, with all the intercutting between the stories. I'm not even that confident I have the order right, let alone the time code.

Post-weekend bump.  (Though I suppose this may be all we get?)

Again, it looks like LexX will have the score to beat.  He thought the event ordering would be tough (it is) but he nailed them.  He was as much as 8:00 minutes off in the murky middle, but he redeemed himself with one that was spot on!

Well done.

Boosts results I think are typical.  Of the other people I've given this quiz to, (including myself) the order of Vader arriving at CC and Luke leaving Dagobah to save his friends seems out of order.  Luke, in the film, has a sense of danger for his friends and decides to leave... and then it cuts to Leia... who's worried about 3PO and a little warry of Lando but is otherwise fine.  Then Lando shows up and small talks them almost to death and then: BAM!  There's Vader.

Other than that: good job on hitting several of those right on the nose!  Not even the mighty LexX can compete with you there!

Much better score than I expected. When thinking about the events I had to go pretty far before they happened and started to roll the film in my mind. If someone would ask "when Vader meets the bounty hunters and what happens before it, answer now!" I wouldn't know. LOL, 11 minutes between there, oh well. Pretty good.

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

none, if you were looking for improvement, I think you did it!  So far it leaves you still in 3rd place...  but you were much closer to Boost this time.  You made the same cave/bounty hunter and Luke leaves D/Vader is at CC blunder that Boost made.

And, to make you all feel better... here are my results. I didn't take the ANH quiz because I thought I was too close to having taken the notes. Since some time had passed, I thought I was far enough from it to take the ESB. ^The above is proof that I am not a cheater. :)
