Silly Star Wars Game

[Rabid Whiphid]

Here's a fun/ stupid/ silly/ time wasting game to test your Star Wars knowledge. For each SW film, try to name ONE or MORE major things about it, that breaks with SW traditions, or just makes it SIGNIFICANTLY different from all the other films in the SW series.

For example:

EPISODE 1 - Only film in which Darth Maul appears.

EPISODE 2 - Only film in which a large number of Jedi Knights fight as one massive team all together in the same location.

EPISODE 3 - Features an outstanding number of scenes of graphic violence, deformity, and gruesome deaths. Only film with a pregnant character. Only film in which there are no scenes with "big monsters" threatening our heroes.

EPISODE 4 - Only film in which Yoda NEVER appears. Only film which never includes even the slightest trace of Darth Vader's "Imperial March" theme music. Only film in which the name "Anakin Skywalker" is never spoken.

EPISODE 5 - Only film in which Tatooine NEVER appears.

EPISODE 6 - Only film with no "1138" in-joke.

Cut and paste the list below into your Reply, and fill in YOUR answers. See how many significant differences for each film you can come up with.

PS- I don't think I played your game quite right, sorry.

Looks good to me, good answers!

[Zedekk]

EPISODE 1 - Only Film in which Obi-Wan doesn't have a beard
EPISODE 2 - Only Film where Obi-Wan gets singed by a lightsaber
EPISODE 3 - Only Film with Lavafalls
EPISODE 4 - Only Film where the Death Star is Finished being built
EPISODE 5 - Only Film where characters are bundled up against the cold
EPISODE 6 - Only film with Ewoks in it.

Did I do good?

[Tovor]

Episode V- Only episode where you don't see any Earth-like forrest or trees.

[Tovor]

Zed, I disagree with your Episode V. In AOTC when ObiWan landed on Geonosis at night, he looked cold as he pulled his tunic closer around him. And likewise he was seen earlier looking cold and pulling his tunic closer, in the cold rain of Kamino.

And don't forget Anakin being cold in the queen's ship, and Padme wrapping the blanket around him.

[RollaFett]

EPISODE VI - Only episod with no hologram transmissions.

[Zedekk]

EPISODE VI - Only episod with no hologram transmissions.
Luke to Jabba? I'm just wondering how you're catagorizing "transmissions"

[RollaFett]

no, you're absolutely right. That was a transmission. My bad.

[RollaFett]

EPISODE I - Only episode with no romance in the plot.

[STar war spUNK]

EPISODE VI - Only film without a bounty hunter.


you mean like... no bounty hunter sent out to kill anyone? b/c boba fett and leia dressed up as boushh (although i guess that doesn't really count!) were in jabba's palace.

also was there one in episode one?

[Zedekk]

EPISODE I - Only episode with no romance in the plot.
what about Episode 4? the kiss between Luke and leia does that really count?

[RollaFett]

Yeah, it does, because he obviously had a thing for her, as did Han.

[RollaFett]

Damn, you're right. How could I possibly forget about Boba Fett, and Bouschh. I'm lousy at this game.
Oh, and that Aurra Sing chick had a incredibly brief appearance during the podrace in EP I.

[Rabid Whiphid]

Episode V- Only episode where you don't see any Earth-like forrest or trees.


Wow you are right, I never thought about that before.

[Darill Cyllem]

Luke to Jabba? I'm just wondering how you're catagorizing "transmissions"

no, you're absolutely right. That was a transmission. My bad.
I'd call Luke's message to Jabba in ROTJ a recording, not a transmission. Just sayin'.

[Tovor]

EPISODE 3 - Only film in which there are no scenes with "big monsters" threatening our heroes.

What about ANH?

EPISODE 4 - Only film in which the name "Anakin Skywalker" is never spoken.

What about TESB? Just sayin'.

[Tovor]

Episode V: The only episode that very few SW fans had any complaints about the acting.

Episode VII: The only episode that had scenes set on Tatooine...that weren't filmed in Tunisia.

[Tovor]

EPISODE I - Only episode with no romance in the plot.

what about Episode 4? the kiss between Luke and leia does that really count?

Yeah, it does, because he obviously had a thing for her, as did Han.
For that matter, even though it was a child's crush, what about little Ani's adoration of Padme? I suppose that wouldn't count since unlike Luke's obvious interest in Leia (and Han's), most viewers wouldn't compare a child's crush to an adult's romantic interest, but others could say "Awww, how romantic," especially the look he gave Padme at the very end during the parade.

Just sayin'.

[Tovor]

Episode IV: The only lightsaber duel that, looking back, wasn't as impressive as the first time we saw it. :P

[Rabid Whiphid]

EPISODE 3 - Only film in which there are no scenes with "big monsters" threatening our heroes.

What about ANH?


EPISODE 4 - Only film in which the name "Anakin Skywalker" is never spoken.

What about TESB? Just sayin'.






EPISODE 4 - had the "Dianoga" Trash Compactor monster.

EPISODE 5 - The Emperor says the name Anakin Skywalker in the new scene as it appears on the 2004 dvd release.

I'm just sayin.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about the DVD dialogue addition. I stand corrected. As for the dianoga, I didn't think of that as a large creature at all, just something human-sized with tentacles, or smaller, unlike the giant monsters seen in the other films.

[Tovor]

Episode I: The only episode where we see the Tuskens fire their weapons.

[Rabid Whiphid]

As for the dianoga, I didn't think of that as a large creature at all, just something human-sized with tentacles, or smaller, unlike the giant monsters seen in the other films.

Picky, Picky, Picky!! Okay, so I shouldn't have stuck the word "big" on there. But it still counts as a "monsters attack" scene. And Episode 3 is the only film without such a scene. Happy now?

[lovelucas]

Episode VII: The only episode that had scenes set on Tatooine...that weren't filmed in Tunisia.

Episode 7? and RotS did not film Tatooine in Tunisia either..... the shots they captured while filming AotC had a faux Obi Wan giving baby Luke to Owen. This was discarded and filmed on green screen during RotS pickups with baby Luke being handed over to Aunt Beru instead.

I don't think Ewan McGregor ever stepped foot on Tunisia until his recent round the world bike trip.

[Zedekk]

I'd call Luke's message to Jabba in ROTJ a recording, not a transmission. Just sayin'.
Me too, that's why I was trying to better understand Rolla's meaning of "transmission" and if that were the case, then EPISODE 4 didn't have any transmissions either, because the message Leia put into R2 was just that, a message.

[STar war spUNK]

Episode VII: The only episode that had scenes set on Tatooine...that weren't filmed in Tunisia.

Episode VII eh? must have missed that one. :)

[Tovor]

Episode VII eh? must have missed that one. :)
Oops...typo. Meant VI.

[Darill Cyllem]

What about ANH?


Dianoga? Does that count as a big monster that threatens our heroes?

Missed your post, Whiphid. Sorry.

Any comment, Zed?

[Zedekk]

^ You're really that bored huh? you IMing? tonight?

[Tovor]

^ Well I have been, with you so far.

[Tovor]

Can we do movie abbreviations rather than Episode w/ #'s?

Well, I've had on HBO in the background and I've seen parts of AOTC, ROTS, ANH, and ESB, and I started thinking about this thread and each film. So here is a bunch of ones that I thought up:

TPM- Only film where there is no Star Destroyer or earlier version of said ship.
TPM- Only film where there is no visible representative or citizen of Alderaan.
TPM- Only film where there is no hairdo either worn by Leia, or that which resembles a Leia hairdo.
TPM- Only film where no one loses a hand or arm to a lightsaber.

AOTC- Only film where you do not see a polished 3PO-like droid.
AOTC- Only film where you never see a Wookiee.
AOTC- Only film where the ending lightsaber duel does not happen near a deep chasm of some kind, or over a great height.
AOTC- Only film where you do not see a large warship firing its weapons.
AOTC- Only film where you do not see enemy officers or pawns showing fear in presense of, or at mention of the arrival of a Sith.

ROTS- Only film where the female lead is at no point captured.

ANH- Only film where you do not see any large warships (not space stations) exploding or sustaining heavy damage.
ANH- Only film where a Sith does not report to his Master.
ANH- Only film with no ground battle.
ANH- Only film with no walking war vehicle or droid (TPM had one of the vulture fighters walking in the bay in the beginning).
ANH- Onlly film without a black man.
ANH- Only film where the Jedi never uses, comes close to, or is tempted by the Dark SIde.

ESB- Only film where the good guys don't launch an attack on a bad-guy target (until Order 66, I'm counting the clone troopers in AOTC and ROTS as good guys).
ESB- Only film where a Jedi doesn't use his lightsaber to block or deflect an oncoming laser.

ROTJ- Only film where you do not see an advanced, non-military (excludes DS2), city.
ROTJ- Only film where you do not see a floating or flying droid of some kind.
ROTJ- Only film without a whiney Skywalker (I won't count "Master Yoda, you can't die," or "I can't kill my own father.")
ROTJ- Only film where no pivotal action or decision-making scene occurs in front of a sunset.
ROTJ- Only film where no ships crash to the ground.
ROTJ- Only film where you don't actually see any pilot getting in or out of a starfighter.
ROTJ- Only film where no living beings are seen riding any sort of creature.

[Zedekk]

EPISODE # 5: Only Episode where we see the Millinium Falcon's top hatch being operated.

[Darill Cyllem]

ROTJ- Only film where you do not see an advanced, non-military (excludes DS2), city.


Are you counting Mos Eisley (ANH) as an advanced city, then? I'm just curious :)

[Tovor]

Are you counting Mos Eisley (ANH) as an advanced city, then? I'm just curious :)
It may be a hive of scum and villiany, and cement and stone buildings, but it has space ship bays, computers, landspeeders, droids, and travellers, etc; which is certainly more advanced than the Ewok villiage. :wink:

[Rabid Whiphid]

I just thought of another one...

Episode 5 (TESB) - Only film in which we NEVER see a Jedi directly use a lightsaber to kill a humanoid enemy.

(Humanoid meaning a member of the human race or some other basically human-looking alien race)

-

[Sarah-Leia]

EPISODE 1 - The only film which features more than one Gungan. (Thank goodness!
EPISODE 2 - The only film where Padme dresses more normally.
EPISODE 3 - The only film where Anakin shows his hatred for Padme.
EPISODE 4 - The only film where Leia does not kiss Han.
EPISODE 5 - The only film where Han and Leia both argue and kiss.
EPISODE 6 - The only film where Leia's stomach is visible. I mean abs. Not actual stomach organ. :barf:

:ohwell:

[Darill Cyllem]

Gotcha. That makes sense. :)

[RollaFett]

TPM- Only film where there is no hairdo either worn by Leia, or that which resembles a Leia hairdo.

What about Padme's hair during the parade at the end? It was fairly similar to Leia's hair while on Tatoinne.


AOTC- Only film where the ending lightsaber duel does not happen near a deep chasm of some kind, or over a great height.
Well, they were about as close to the canyon chasm as OB1 and Vader were to the chasm in the Death Star in ANH, no?

AOTC- Only film where you do not see a large warship firing its weapons.
I agree, but where did this happen in TPM? The TF had droid fighters during the space battle. I don't recall the TF Destroyers doing anything.

ROTS- Only film where the female lead is at no point captured.
No retort for this. Just wanted to give you kudos on a really good one!


ANH- Only film with no ground battle.
So, Han and Chewie battling the stormtroopers in the space port at Mos Eisley doesn't count? Eh, maybe not.

ESB- Only film where the good guys don't launch an attack on a bad-guy target (until Order 66, I'm counting the clone troopers in AOTC and ROTS as good guys).
Luke going after Vader on Cloud City doesn't count?


ROTJ- Only film where you do not see an advanced, non-military (excludes DS2), city.
The ending celebration scenes that include Mos Eisley, Coruscant, Cloud City, and Theed don't count?



ROTJ- Only film where no ships crash to the ground.
The Executor crashing into the surface of the DS2 doesn't count? It may not considering that it isn't actually 'ground'.

Ok, I'm done. Feel free to rip me to shreads.


Oh, and in response to the 'transmissions' thing. Yes, I consider recordings in the same league as transmissions. I was going for seeing the blue, fuzzy image relaying a message.

[Tovor]

What about Padme's hair during the parade at the end? It was fairly similar to Leia's hair while on Tatoinne.

Maybe so. I'll have to look again.

Well, they were about as close to the canyon chasm as OB1 and Vader were to the chasm in the Death Star in ANH, no?

True. I have no retort for that.

I agree, but where did this happen in TPM? The TF had droid fighters during the space battle. I don't recall the TF Destroyers doing anything.

The TF ship opened fire on the Queen's ship when it ran the blockade. And we saw at least one Naboo fighter blown apart by turret guns on the TF ship.

No retort for this. Just wanted to give you kudos on a really good one!

Appreciate it.

So, Han and Chewie battling the stormtroopers in the space port at Mos Eisley doesn't count? Eh, maybe not.

I don't feel that it does. They were trying to get away from capture, and it was only the 2 of them. I don't count that as a ground "battle" per se, in my context.

Luke going after Vader on Cloud City doesn't count?

No. That was a confrontation between 2 warriors, not a attack force.

The ending celebration scenes that include Mos Eisley, Coruscant, Cloud City, and Theed don't count?

Well, in the SE and the digital versions you see them, but they are just montage images. What I meant was that there was no major part of the story involved in those 2 second glimpses.


The Executor crashing into the surface of the DS2 doesn't count? It may not considering that it isn't actually 'ground'.

I contemplated that, but being artificial, though as big as a small moon, I don't count it in this context. Not as a planetary surface, anyway.

Ok, I'm done. Feel free to rip me to shreads.

You spelled "shreds" incorrectly.

Oh, and in response to the 'transmissions' thing. Yes, I consider recordings in the same league as transmissions. I was going for seeing the blue, fuzzy image relaying a message.
There you go, my replies bolded in the quotes.

[RollaFett]

TPM - Only lightsaber fight conducted outdorrs, during the daytime.

[Tovor]

Hmmm...we wouldn't count the arena in AOTC then, because it was Jedi versus droids, and not Jedi/Sith duels?

[RollaFett]

^^ Good responses to my challeges. Most of them I was merely being overly nit-picky anyway, but you got me.

[RollaFett]

Hmmm...we wouldn't count the arena in AOTC then, because it was Jedi versus droids, and not Jedi/Sith duels?

No, I mean lightsaber duels.

[Tovor]

I have another one...maybe.

If we don't even count the lame immediate deaths of the 3 masters in ROTJ before the Mace-Sidious duel started, then...

AOTC- Only film with 3 consecutive duels against the same enemy.

[Tovor]

ROTS- Only film where the master villain has another character kill two warriors who themselves were enemies on opposites sides of the war, in order to take both of their places.

(Dooku, of course, and Anakin's contribution to Mace's death.)

[RollaFett]

Yeah, you're getting carried away with the last two.

[Tovor]

Well, if you think about it, Mace was the head of Republic security, the leader of the Jedi, answerable directly to the Supreme Chancellor and the Senate. Not only did Anakin kill Dooku, head of the Separatists and become Sidious new apprentice as Sid's plan, but he also took Mace's place as head of Republic security, charged with "restoring peace and justice" to the Republic.

[Rabid Whiphid]

TPM - Only lightsaber fight conducted outdorrs, during the daytime.


If you only mean a lightsaber vs. lightsaber duel, you are right.

If you mean a fight where a lightsaber is in use, then I would have to remind you of the Sail Barge Battle in ROTJ. Also, the Obi-Wan vs. Jango fight in AOTC... Considering there was enough light to see by, and it wasn't totally dark, it seems logical to assume that daytime on Kamino is just very dark and cloudy from the constant storms. As well as the Geonosis Arena battle, which clearly seemed to be happening during the day.

[RollaFett]

Yup, just lightsaber vs. lightsaber duel is what I'm talking about.
