Am I dead having still not answered those "Saarlac escape" questions?

Certainly not dead, as the Sarlacc would keep you alive for 1000 years.

Although all your body hair has probably been digested away by now...

astromech 14 POINTS/1 Rancor with Rancor Pit

Uh oh, the final round has commenced.  The world goes silent as astromech retrieves a small circular device from underneath his clothes.  A thermal detonator, activated, the fail dead trigger held down in mortal constriction.  We'll see how this plays out once people have answered questions.  Hopefully the stress of waiting on whether a question has been answered correctly or not won't cause astromech to lose his hold on everyone's life.  Maybe if somebody pays a little in terms of points or items, astromech might back off and put it away.  It's up to you guys.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, a familiar voice announces his return from the dead.  Surprised, everyone looks over to Johnny Ringo.  "That's right, and where I suffered physical and emotional scars that will never heal as a result of the torture I suffered in that bastard's mouth, I made up for by finding two points and a couple of items!  Suddenly, one of the retrieved items is thrown onto the ground.  An Assist Trophy!  The glass shatters, and when the blinding white light dissipates into fading bright white spectra, revealed is:

What the hell?  It's some small green creature.  What would he have to say to us?  We were expecting a great warrior...  Evidentally, as he tells us, wars not make one great.  His strange object-subject-verb syntax (6 POINTS for anyone who can remember what the syntactical scheme is called when you do that) seems to reveal a wisdom beyond his stature.  He rummages through everybody's crap.  "Hey get out of there!  You're gonna break something!"  As he throws people's points and items on the ground (finding a fun flashlight to play with), Johnny Ringo sneaks in and grabs the rummaged mess.  2 proton torpedos and 7 points.

As for Yoda's syntax...allegedly it's OSV...at least that's what the great Google in the sky calls it!

OSV describes the order, but I finally found my syntactical schemes flashcards.  He's using anastrophe.

What Imperial leader's uniform boasted 12 rank insignia squares? 4 POINTS

Tarkin

How many scout troopers pursued the Ewok who hijacked a speeder bike? 2 POINTS

I'm going to guess three.

After being absent for a while I'm still doing ok. I'm surprised.

And the winner is:

HotRod

Great job everyone.  It was a whacky ten rounds, with a few good uses of people's items to throw a monkey wrench or two into the middle of things.  I'm thinking of taking things in a new direction, although right now I'm working on a couple of things, these plus school and work don't add up to a lot of time on my hands.  I'm sure people noticed my activity in the thread was a tad fleeting.  Despite the challenges, I'm excited to try something new with the thread.  For now, though, I'm going to leave it to you guys for a few days.  I'll have HotRod's awesome banner ready in a day or two.  Oh yeah, and astromech gets the thermal detonator back.  It didn't work out the way I thought.

Try to stump each other.  Basic rules for asking a question are as follows:

1) The prequels don't exist.  The special editions don't exist.  Although, if you want to throw in a little PT satire within your questions, that's okay, for example: "Who played Anakin Skywalker before he was decapitated and Hayden Christenson's head was haphazardly CGI-glued to his body?"  Just make sure all answers are restricted to OUT knowledge.

2) Keep the focus on the films themselves, not a whole bunch of EU stuff, although some leaning into more esoteric knowledge is okay.  A good example of an EU-ish question that would be allowed is "what are the ugly creatures that run the carbon freeze thingy".  Although the answer is not available by simply watching the films, it's okay because the script probably holds the answer, or the answer is not completely restricted to the world outside the movies.  Also, questions about production/early drafts are also okay, like "what physicist were Yoda's eyes based on".  Again, questions are not exactly constricted to only the movies themselves, but not too much EU stuff, please.

3) You're working for points here, but you're not exactly competing, not officially anyway, not yet.  Don't ask impossible questions in the hopes of getting the most points.  You want everyone to have a lot of points.  Be tough, really test people's knowledge.

4) Each question is worth three points.

5) sHotRod starts.

6) Don't go up and use items or something, btw you all still have your items.  You'll need them later.

I won....All too easy...

So what do I win?

Ok...Easy one to start with then.

How many sections comprised the Cloud City waste door that dumped Luke out into the atmosphere of Bespin?
