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 1983 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.

E'cha wawah.  that's a tuffie.  Ended up in the same predicament, not sure how long the action sequences are, (find the opening ones completely engrossing so probably over estimated their length, but then with the last two quizes i underestimated the ending ones...) so I start shifting sections by 4-6 minutes, and the Emperor on DSII can't recall the transition wipe which might give me a clue of it's placement...  Thanks for these memory tests.

Wait...is this why LexX is ignoring me?

Yes, it's because you're so complex.

Boost:

Jedi is even more complicated than Empire.

You think so?  The three way split during the ending, I guess, is what's making you say this.  But most of the movie is in "single narrative", versus Empire which is "dual narrative" for most of the movie.

Then, at the end, one of the dual narratives is a duel narrative.  Whoah. </keanu>

 Yeah, it's the three way split.

I hope the next special edition inserts some Jar Jar to make it a four way split, so that we know what he was doing before yelling "weesa freee!"

So, I'm starting to grade these and I realize that we all fell for a trick I accidentally put into this quiz:  I skipped the whole "Darth Vader Arrives on DSII" scene that the movie actually starts with.  So, the first scene on the list is "Luke's Message to Jabba" which starts at 0:09:00.  Making all of our early times at least a few minutes too early.

Yeah, I'm a jerk I guess.

 I think it's that when I rememeber the film, I remember it in sequences, not as jumping between things.

If I think of the Endor forest scenes, I can go straight through them in my head from the landing to Han and Leia kissing and Yub Yub. I don't recall when the stories cut from one to the other.

Just putting them in order took all of my brainpower.

Also, as a kid I had a VHS copy taped off of HBO that started with C3PO and Artoo walking to Jabba's palace, so I never even noticed that the first scene of Vader arriving at the DS wasn't on the list.

This has been great fun.

Time

I think ROTJ is harder timing wise. Also, I don't want to remember the movies by heart and I'd like to forget the things I remember, it's much better to not know how long does it still take and what happens next etc. So I'm just glad that I was a little off.

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