I love Star Wars I got them all except the Yoda, 900 years old one. I put "look so good" I knew I had the first and last word but i wasn't sure what the middle word was.
Bah! Retcons in order to retroactively make Solo not wrong. I much prefer the idea that Han is just spewing BS thinking that Obi-Wan and Luke don't know any better anyway. If you look at Obi-Wan's reaction to that line, he looks like he knows Han is full of crap.
That. Star Wars movies are so full of glaring holes relevant to the other movies in the series, which the movie makers always claim they planned ahead of time. I'm glad this quiz stuck almost exclusively to the first 2 movies. After that it jumped the Pistris Constellation, even by 10-year olds' standards.
In a galaxy far far away, a Parsec is a unit of speed. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
Ah, the lazy "it's fiction/fantasy" excuse. The problem is one will naturally associate words used in fiction with their meanings in the real world, so unless a different meaning is specifically stated, it's reasonable to call out the error. Otherwise we have to doubt the meaning of every single word uttered.
When Vader says "I am your father", does he mean "father" the way understand it? It's fiction after all, so who knows!
That's a sure way to BS yourself out of any and every mistake. Lazy and bad writing.
Wow great quiz. I only just realized that I must be a geek since I could answer all of these without thinking to hard. The only one that I had a little trouble with was the Han Solo quote and the 12 parsecs
I've never really felt Darth Vader's "I'm altering the deal" line to be iconic, and ordinarily wouldn't have remembered it. But I did because Robot Chicken really took it to extremes. One of those things that you laugh harder the next time you see the original.
Hey the prequels are great. General Grievous and his horde of fangirls (including me) are the only reason people haven't rioted in the streets because of the prequels
@Geomaster123: Even if you were right (which you aren't), "I am your father" would still be a quote from the movie, whether you chose to include the "Luke" that comes before or not. But hey, Vader doesn't say Luke anyways, so...
Something about the USS Enterprise?? I am surprised that "Live long and Prosper" wasn't on this list, classic Star Wars quote. Same with "Marty, we've got to go back..." So many classic quotes missed. "Meesa Jar Jar Binks" is a personal favourite of mine.
I only knew about the parsecs quote because recently I was doing my rounds (I deliver magazines) and my dad texted me it because he saw a car with that on the back. I didn't get the reference because I was new to the series, but that same evening we watched a new hope in tribute to Carrie Fisher, who had died around that time. My dad then poked me when it got to the scene. :P
George put J## J## in the original trilogy. He says "Wesa free!" after the destruction of the second Death Star when everyone in the galaxy is celebrating.
Attack of the clones is by far the best Star Wars movie, followed by the Phantom Menace. Everything looks so fake in the old movies. They're so lame lol
Why make a relevant comment that people might gain something from reading when you could passive aggressively snipe at someone you have a silly gripe with?
The originals may not have anywhere near the same level of graphics, but they are classic, and at the time, they were incredible. Now that we have much better graphics, too many people look down at the originals, when they were doing the best that they possibly could.
Imagine yourself in a world where the only special effects you had seen were a plastic model of the Enterprise dangled in front of a black paper with holes punched in it for stars, and characters throwing paper boulders at enemies. Then see the original Star Wars trilogy made before CGI. The sequels and prequels just don't have it. They traded the humor, the spirituality, and the magic of the original trilogy for one scene after another of fast-paced action similar to those seen in any number of modern movies. Ho-hum.
New Star Wars is trash, but if you want to see a series of films that capture the magic of the original Star Wars trilogy and push FX to the limit at the same time you ought to check out the Avengers films, Ander. Start with Iron Man and if you like that one you can find a list of Marvel Cinematic Universe films on Wikipedia and know which to watch next. I'm sure a cool grandma like you probably has Disney +, right?
Lots of humor, I wouldn't say "spirituality" - but lots of good themes and soul searching and rewarding character arcs, and exhilarating action as a bonus. All the grandmas around here (my mom, and my aunt) love these movies. Give them a chance sometime.
Got them all with 3:19 remaining at 6:57:17 PM on February 24, 2019. As a Star Wars fan, this quiz was great! What's more is that, by earning this quiz's five points, my total was increased to 902, putting me at Level 32!
That is an oldie and the only reason I got it. When I saw Qing something came up as a character I almost skipped it thinking I had fallen into later sequel territory.
But it really wasn't a big deal, because kids say all sorts of stupid things and even then I'd learned that mostly, kids are stupid and say all sorts of untrue things. I may have heard someone claim that Leia got naked and "you could see everything", too. I didn't have much of a reason to believe it. So I don't really think it was "spoiled."
It also wasn't so much of a big deal to "spoil" a story then, because if a story is "spoiled" for you by knowing the ending or by knowing a central twist, it wasn't a very good story in the first place. The idea that spoiling a story is some grievous sin really gained traction during the Oscar campaign for The Crying Game and has gotten more popular since.
That said, I never try to reveal endings or twists to people and I'd say it's usually discourteous to do.
gotem all in a minute. Lol u should add anakins constant whining quotes, like the sand quote, high ground, and "what? This is outrageous. Its unfair..."

The point is that the ship is powerful enough to cut next through some black holes and thus shorten the distance needed to do the Kessel Run.
Some people have a hard time grasping what a retcon is.
"General Kenobi"
Thanks for the spoiler alert!
