Ding!

[DeepPurple]

The emperor/chancellor Palpatine was not in IV: New Hope (although he was referred to).


The answers must be the actors in the 'droids (names that I do not know).

[Griffin 6]

Was the Emporer in New Hope?Nope. And neither was the Emperor, who has been played by 2 different actors.

[Griffin 6]

The answers must be the actors in the 'droids (names that I do not know).Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels.

[The Drunken Actuary]

[Lonesome Cowboy Bill]

Here's an easy one (no cheating): approximately how big is a womp rat?

Less than 12 parsecs.

[The Drunken Actuary]

[Lonesome Cowboy Bill]

I used to bullseye womprats back home at beggars canyon

In your T-16? How big were they?

[llcooljabe]

2 metres

[Wannabe Actuary]

I believe that question is on the menu at Planet Hollywood....
did you note your source for the question??

[Lonesome Cowboy Bill]

2 metres

Correct. I would have also accepted "2 meters" or "2 yards".

did you note your source for the question??

[comic book guy voice]Worst accusation ever. My source was my own recollection of the Star Wars Trilogy. I have never been to Planet Hollywood.[/comic book guy voice]

[comic book guy voice]Worst accusation ever. My source was my own recollection of the Star Wars Trilogy. I have never been to Planet Hollywood.[/comic book guy voice]I'm just busting on you. I don't care if it came from your head or the menu.

I do love reading what people type and thinking of it in comic book guys voice. Gotta love the imagination.

[The Drunken Actuary]

Any fool knows it was 2 meters. Ask something challenging like what cell block was leia in. Not that challenging I guess if you know the name of one of Lucas's earlier movies....

[Wannabe Actuary]

Any fool knows it was 2 meters. Ask something challenging like what cell block was leia in. Not that challenging I guess if you know the name of one of Lucas's earlier movies....I believe Han Solo and Luke say they are transferring Chewbacca (when they pretend to have captured him) FROM cell block 1138.

Actually, THX-1138 WAS going to be the serial number of the gaurd with the faulty transmitter on the Death Star, but it was changed.

[Wannabe Actuary]

Ask something harder like what is the name for R2-D2 in the Italian versions of the movie....

[comic book guy voice]I do not need you belittling my Star Wars knowledge by providing hints to easy questions, Sir-Post-a-Lot. The answer is 1-1-3-8 .[/comic book guy voice]

[The Drunken Actuary]

OK, fine, what was Aunt Veru's maiden name?

[Lonesome Cowboy Bill]

[comic book guy voice]It is a trick question. There was no Aunt Veru but rather an Aunt Beru.[/comic book guy voice]

[Wannabe Actuary]

Ask something harder like what is the name for R2-D2 in the Italian versions of the movie....I see know one likes my question....

[2M]

So what's the answer?

[Saint Kepler]

Beru Whitesun


What former battle does Lando refer to in the Rebel briefing room in ROTJ?

[The Drunken Actuary]

Beru Whitesun


What former battle does Lando refer to in the Rebel briefing room in ROTJ?
ROTJ sucks.

[Tim><]

Who taught Luke Skywalker to drive the Millenium Falcon. (Hint: he had a titular role.)

[Wannabe Actuary]

Ask something harder like what is the name for R2-D2 in the Italian versions of the movie....Still no one answers mine....

[jets fan]

Beru Whitesun

Tanav (sp?)?

[Tim><]

Who taught Luke Skywalker to drive the Millenium Falcon. (Hint: he had a titular role.)Does anyone get the reference?

[Saint Kepler]

Tanav (sp?)?
Close Tanab

[Saint Kepler]

ROTJ sucks.
Okay, how about the designation of the stormtrooper that Luke impersonated on the Death Star?

[razorback]

ROTJ sucks.

No, Episode II sucked much much much more

[Saint Kepler]

No, Episode II sucked much much much more
I think are are both great movies. http://www.actuary.ca/actuarial_discussion_forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

[llcooljabe]

When's Episode III coming out?

[Wannabe Actuary]

When's Episode III coming out?May 18th I think.

[Lonesome Cowboy Bill]

No, Episode II sucked much much much more

Episode I = worst episode ever!

[Tim><]

Does anyone get the reference?Nobody?

[Venn Dutch]

"Landos and Yodas": slang for lousy leftovers.

(If you go to Target or Toys R Us, all they have left are Lando and Yoda action figures.)

[DeepPurple]

Nope. And neither was the Emperor, who has been played by 2 different actors.

Nope, Ian McDiarmid played the emperor in the first trilogy (chronologically second) in old man makeup.

He appears more naturally as Emperor/Chancellor Palpatine in the second trilogy (chronologically first).

Though IMDB.com does list Clive Revill as a voice-only credit for SW5:TESB.

[2M]

May 18th I think.

May 19th

[Wannabe Actuary]

May 19thStrange, I thought he did all of his on the Wednesday of that week. You'll notice the release dates for all 6 are about the same. 4,5,6 were all 3 years apart around the same time in May....then 1,2,3 will all be 3 years apart the same time in May.

Oh well, close enough.

[Wannabe Actuary]

Ask something harder like what is the name for R2-D2 in the Italian versions of the movie....Someone answer my question!!

[2M]

I just remember it because I have been planning on seeing it after exams are done

[Wannabe Actuary]

http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/release/theater/I know it's the 19th now...I looked it up.

I was just saying my recollection was that 1 and 2 came out on the Wednesdays...maybe one year worked out that way, but was still the 19th.

Now that I think of it, it was the 19th....the exs b-day.

[DeepPurple]

Someone answer my question!!


R-Duay D-Duay

[Wannabe Actuary]

R-Duay D-DuayNo, he was C1-P8.......

Then who did thew face of the emporer in TESB?

[Tim><]

I can't believe that no one is familiar with "The Upright Citizens Brigade". :shake: :shake2:

[razorback]

Then who did thew face of the emporer in TESB?

Clive's voice was dubbed back over the original trilogy because George Lucas is an A-Hole. I wish he would just leave well enough alone.

I also did not care for putting the Young anakin in the end of ROTJ. I thought this was pure retarded.

[Wannabe Actuary]

I also did not care for putting the Young anakin in the end of ROTJ. I thought this was pure retarded.I understand that he did it because he lived on through the force....and furthermore it was because he had made ammends again, thus he was no longer on the dark side. It showed him at his last age before he went to the dark side.

I understand it, but I can't say I necessarily agree with it.

[The Drunken Actuary]

And neither was the Emperor, who has been played by 2 different actors.Emperor Papatine? I don't think that's correct. Same actor.

[The Drunken Actuary]

Clive's voice was dubbed back over the original trilogy because George Lucas is an A-Hole. I wish he would just leave well enough alone. I see Griffin's already been corrected....anyway, speaking of GL being an a-hole, why didn't he let David Prowse play Darth Vader after the mask came off in ROTJ? IIRC, Prowse was the guy in the suit for all three movies but at the very end of ROTJ when the mask came off, Lucas used someone else because.....he didn't like Prowse? Anyone know?

I thought anakin looked "middle aged" like his 40s or something, not young. I guess that's not realistic, since we now know that he's probably only 10 years younger than Kenobi.

[Wannabe Actuary]

I can't recall.

[2M]

In the current issue this is true, until they find a reason to tweak it again and put another version out there

[Wannabe Actuary]

In the current issue this is true, until they find a reason to tweak it again and put another version out thereOk, I had thought so. One Sunday back in November I sat down and watched the OT back to back to back....I just wanted to make sure I wasn't imagining it.

In this case, showing him at the last age before he turns to the darkside is understandable. Not everyone will agree with the move GL made though.

The old release, makes no sense to show a middle aged man (I've seen the old release as well and can remember the guy as well).

[Venn Dutch]

I can't believe that no one is familiar with "The Upright Citizens Brigade". :shake: :shake2:

Wasn't that some of the people from The State?

[DeepPurple]

As long as we are on the topic:

My recollections:


In the famous cantina scene in "A New Hope", Han Fired first at Greedo in the original. Upon re-release, Greedo fires first and misses Han, so Han's killing him is more self-defense (and hero-like).

Secondly, in "A New Hope", Princess Leiah kisses Luke on the lips right before he swings them on his dental floss over the cavern as they are escaping the Death Star. In the re-release, GL digitally remastered the scene so that the kiss is on the cheek, as they turn out to be siblings. Although, there is no mistaking the full on lip kiss she plants on Luke in ROTJ.

I think that there was one more re-editted scene that bothered me, but for the life of me I cannot recall what it is.

[Wannabe Actuary]

I know they took out Luke's scream at some point, as they said a Jedi wouldn't scream.

A story about the dvd changes

http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/09/20/star.changes/index.html

[jets fan]

Then who did thew face of the emporer in TESB?

The figure that you see in the original version of TESB is an old woman (it's not Ian McDiarmid). In the 2004 DVD release, it was replaced by Ian McDiarmid. So I think Griffin 6 is correct when he says that the emperor was played by 2 different actors.

[2M]

Clive Revill was the original voice of the emperor. Do you know who played the physical body of the emperor?

[jets fan]

I only know what I wrote in my last post - it was an old woman. I don't know her name.

[2M]

I only ask because I checked websites that had complete cast lists and they only credit the voice & not the physical actor.

[llcooljabe]

On a unrelated note, have you all seen the triumph the insult dog bit when he visits the star wars geeks in line? Probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
