Trivial Pursuit: STAR WARS ORIGINAL TRILOGY (Part III) — Page 2

To HotRod:

Hey, Mielr beat me to the higher-valued Han Solo question, and you don't see me whining about it.  ^_~

Of course, had I been really bold, I would have gone for "the critter" question.  I figured it might be Yoda, but my first impulse was actually to say the space slug.  I decided to take a slightly safer route to preserve my lead.  =P

dumb_kid, hey if you found your copy, we could pass the hat of quiz-master back and forth. Updating the questions every day will get tough when I get my ass back to encoding Star Wars. A thought occurs, maybe when we run out of questions, we can switch this to Star Wars D&D--you know, officially making our journey to being total geek-wads complete, lolz.

SCOREBOARD [UPDATED AT BEGINNING OF EACH ROUND]:

Gaffer Tape 14 POINTS

astromech 12 POINTS

Mielr 9 POINTS

dumb_kid 8 POINTS

Hot Rod 8 POINTS

ROUND 4

What was the largest creature seen in the movie trilogy? 1 POINT

How many blinking wingtip lights are on an Imperial shuttle? 2 POINTS

What creature was described as "all-powerful"? 4 POINTS [mielr]

What was located on the opposite side of an Endor ridge, according to C-3P0? 5 POINTS

What device did the Falcon use to attach itself to an Imperial Star Destroyer? 6 POINTS [gaffer tape]

What color was Chewbacca's holoboardgame piece? 6 POINTS

What creature was described as "all-powerful"? 4 POINTS

Sarlaac?

What device did the Falcon use to attach itself to an Imperial Star Destroyer?

A landing claw.

What was located on the opposite side of an Endor ridge, according to C-3P0? 5 POINTS

Shield generator??

I finally found some questions that are proving to be a little tough. Chewbacca's game piece (I suppose they're referring to the one involved in the skirmish featured in the close-up) was yellow. The greenish-blue one is R2's. It is true that the shield generator was located on the opposite side of the ridge, but the question refers to C3P0's conversation with the Ewoks about the "secret entrance" to the shield generator. The largest creature in the original Star Wars trilogy was the massive space slug.

Where are those plans? What have you done with the transmission you intercepted?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Just testing to see if you're all on the same page!

Point for me...Don't cheat now Moth3r Man!!!

Well, I wish I could say I was sorry and actually mean it, but... ^_~

But anyway, HotRod's right.  It does seem to me like the midrange point questions actually seem quite a bit harder than the high point questions most of the time.  You said that point values are totally random?

Vader?

Well, I get 6 random number values, then assign them to questions based on how hard I personally feel they are. I really would not in a million years have thought that Jawas sleep in their sandcrawlers. It's something that never came up in the movie and never heard of before. It's somewhat a matter of opinion I suppose. I do my best to organize by general obscurity. That's why they call it trivial pursuit, it's either an easy get, or you're completely stumped.

Hm, Moth3r got the line the way it was actually said, but hot rod, in his answer, still demonstrated knowledge that the line was Darth Vader's first. I'll split it betwixt the both of you, rounded up to the next point.

SCOREBOARD:

Gaffer Tape 26 POINTS

astromech 16 POINTS

Mielr 14 POINTS

dumb kid 10 POINTS

Hot Rod 10 POINTS

Moth3r 2 POINTS

Alright, we're going to make this a little tougher, Gaffer Tape. While you maintain your dominating lead, you'll only receive half the credit for a correct answer. This point cap is lifted the minute anybody is about to overcome you for first place unless I relieve the cap, so you can't lose your lead without me lifting the point cap. Moth3r, if you'd like to continue playing, you get double points for every question you answer correctly until you're about to overcome for second to last place.

ROUND 6

How many laser bolts did the Imperial probe droid fire at Chewbacca? 2 POINTS

What was the name of the pilot group that flew snowspeeders during the Battle of Hoth? 2 POINTS

What European country were the Hoth scenes filmed in for The Empire Strikes Back? 4 POINTS [astromech]

How many guards were needed to push Han's carbonite slab to Boba Fett's ship? 4 POINTS [mielr]

What type of stew did Yoda prepare for Luke? 5 POINTS [HotRod]

What aging Rebel leader was portrayed by Alex McCrindle? 6 POINTS [Gaffer Tape]

Hey, I never agreed to those terms!  ^_~  Eh, well, if I must, I must.  And if I'm only going to get half credit anyway (meaning no more than three points a round), I might as well take a risk.

What aging Rebel leader was portrayed by Alex McCrindle?

General Dodonna

By the way, if I ever answer a question with an odd-numbered point value, do I start getting scores in half points?

What type of stew did Yoda prepare for Luke? 5 POINTS

Root-lief?
