star wars triva

[Reply #280 on:]

No, that's Wedge. Presumably, after he pulled out he just stuck around, or something. Maybe he was curious.

[Reply #281 on:]

Doesn't make sense, what with Patrols of fanatic TIE Pilots and Turbo Laser fire, but explosions in space don't make sense either so meh.

[Reply #282 on:]

Or maybe after he pulled out ::does not snicker:: he was still beset with TIEs, so he spent his time blowing them up.

My question is how everyone got so far away from the Death Star in such a short amount of time.  But this is a discussion for the actual Star Wars thread.

And if you figure that a flight group is 12 ships (number taken from what I remember of the X-Wing game/book series) then 10 of Luke's wingemen died, plus 11 members of Gold group.

And I count 6 on-screen X-Wing deaths, as well.

[Reply #283 on:]

The classic explosion escape plot device is a secret compoment installed on all Alliance Fighters and Freighters.

[Reply #284 on:]

Sooooo who got this one ?

[Reply #285 on:]

Me, damn it! Blast it M0le, where are you!?! 

[Reply #286 on:]

Yeah, I suppose you get it. I was actually talking about characters faces we saw, not their ships.

[Reply #287 on:]

Wahey! 

Hmm...now I can't think of any decent stuff 
Certainly not as far rammed into the EU novels as everyone else...hmmm
Okay, nice and easy one:
Name the project and location that spawned the B-Wing.

[Reply #288 on:]

I hadn't noticed that this had been updated..

My guess:
The Slayn & Korpil B-wing starfighter was the outcome of the Shantipole project and I believe it was in the Roche asteroid field.

[Reply #289 on:]

Ding ding. Spot on for me 
Also didn't notice it was updated 

[Reply #290 on:]

Oi Pikka Bird !

[Reply #291 on:]

Again, I did not notice... This thread needs some more attention to get it going.

And by the way- I think I have stumbled upon the answer to M0le's question "who was the last grand admiral?"... I believe he didn't give the answer for that, did he? I can't be bothered backtracking this thread to look for it. And nevermind that. The popular answer would be Grant, since he was the last of the original batch, but I suppose M0le was looking for G.A. Gilad Pellaeon, perhaps?

Easy question: On which planet did Kyle Katarn temporarily fall to the dark side?

[Reply #292 on:]

Dromund Kas, I believe it was called. Cool place. Lots of purple.

[Reply #293 on:]

When I accidentally sabered Jan in the head on The Doombringer...

 

[Reply #294 on:]

Dromund Kaas... Go!

[Reply #295 on:]

This thread dies and gets revived more times than the Jedi order.

Here's a tricky one, name all famous Rogue Squadron members since The Battle of Yavin when it was formed.

[Reply #296 on:]

What's your definition of "famous"?

Offhand:
Luke
Wedge
Corran Horn
Wes Janson

[Reply #297 on:]

Well, to lead the Squadron or becoming an ace pilot of.

Taking part in major battles also helps. This is movie and EU, so feel free to strain the brain a little bit more.

[Reply #298 on:]

this thread has died yet again !

[Reply #299 on:]

Lucky you came along to bring it back to life!
Pikka: Yeah, that was the answer I was actually looking for.
Nobody even answered "Grant", anyway.

The Mynock that i mentiond is from the X-wing book Series

Mynock- Wedge's R5 astromech

[Reply #304 on:]

I'd have called it R5-D5, since that's the actual name... Otherwise we'd just name tally them all up using their Rogue Squadron designations and be done with it.

[Reply #305 on:]

Pikka bird why don't ya just make up a new question Nurdbots one is'nt getting anywhere

[Reply #306 on:]

Zogonif gets to ask the next question.

[Reply #307 on:]

Yeah, Zogo. You guessed it (probably with a good percantage of correct ones), so  you should do the next one.

[Reply #308 on:]

And no Revenge of the Sith stuff, some of us haven't see it yet  .

[Reply #309 on:]

Well i can't really do any Revenge of the Sith questions i also have'nt seen it


How did Han Solo obtain the Millenium falcon ?

[Reply #310 on:]

Surely you could do better than that...
He won it from Lando in a lucky hand of Sabacc.
Bam!

[Reply #311 on:]

Bingo your up Pikka

[Reply #312 on:]

What's wrong with Solo boasting about his Kessel Run record?

[Reply #313 on:]

The fact that Parsec is a measure of distance, not time?

[Reply #314 on:]

Of course... (this has been explained in three different ways by three different insider sources, so I guess they're just trying either to cover up a slip-up or Han was just bluffing)

[Reply #315 on:]

How many times (thus far recorded) has Coruscant come under attack? State the circumstances, please.

[Reply #316 on:]

I hope this doesn't have anything to do with KOTOR history.
1. (Presumably)When the Seperatist armies invade to kidnap Palpatine.
2. Rebels overtake Coruscant (I can't remember if this is before or after Isard, I haven't read the X-Wing books in a while)
3. Isard launching the Lusankya. (Not really attacked, but when it ran away it demolished about half the city)
4. Yuuzhan Vong invade and take over.
5. New Republic retakes Coruscant from the Yuuzhan Vong.
Probably a few more involving Thrawn, but that's all I can remember.

[Reply #317 on:]

What's KOTOR?

[Reply #318 on:]

Knights Of The Old Republic. Games, set about 4,000 years before regular Star Wars. I haven't played any.

[Reply #319 on:]

Thanks M0le. Just to clarify, KOTOR is a video game?
