Star Wars TRIVIA

[Elu Dako]

This may or may not be easy, Since 1983 how many video games have been released bearing the name 'Star Wars'?

An estimate or exact number will suffice.

Bonus: What happened in 1983 that caused a 8 year gap between the release of the next game?

[Sebastin Creed]

A: 57 Games?

Bonus: Lucas!

57? Higher than that mate..and no it wasn't Lucas

And I mean from 1983 - Present when I wanna know how many games.

[Sared Kilvan]

Closer to 110 actually.

For the bonus question: several reasons. 1983 marked a major low-point for the industry as a whole. LucasArts, having only been founded the year before, did a good deal of their development in-house. As a result, most of their titles were independent of the movie side of the business with titles like the Monkey Island series, The Dig, and Day of the Tentacle (all games I loved, classics in the adventure genre). There were only two previous Star Wars titles before that, and both had been licensed works arranged by Lucasfilm, their parent company. The first internally developed Star Wars games didn't see release until February of '93 with X-Wing (the only reason I even own a joystick anymore), and Rebel Assault later that year.


Supposing I hit the nail somewhere close enough (feel free to clarify)...

During pre-production for Revenge of the Sith, concept artists found a mascot that they also used as their rallying cry. What was "Horse Pilot!" inspired by?

Over 120 have been released but your close enough, your go Sared.

I suppose if no one else will take this.

Hohass Ekwesh, also known as Runt, was a New Republic pilot apart of Wraith Squadron. The illustration of Hohass was the humorous mascot they chose. Alex Jaeger, I suppose a concept artist for the movie, designed a custom X-wing that was influenced by a horse trailer.




How's this? Samuel L. Jackson, to this day, still owns his purple lightsaber prop from the movies. He's since then customized it. What did he have done to it?

His catchphrase, "bad m__________r".

Who was the tallest Jedi?

Yarael Poof clocking in at 2.64 meters I do believe?

When was Boba Fett's first appearance?

[Kiara O'ren]

When was Boba Fett's first appearance?

I want to say it was in the SW holiday special, sadly.

Also the only animated piece of Star Wars media featuring the voices of Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamill. Your go!

[Kiara O'ren]

How did Mara Jade Skywalker die? (Bonus points: Also what is your reaction to it?)

Breathe a sigh of relief, Kiara. It, in fact, wasn't the holiday special that the world first saw Boba. TIL Boba Fett was first seen at the San Anselmo Country Fair parade on September 24, 1978. Just a little over a month before the release of the holiday special.

Duwayne Dunham, an assistant film editor on ESB and ROJ, wore the costume. It's talked about in this interview here.


I've got nothing on Mara, so I'll let someone else get that.

Oh snap, that's a great deeeeep cut!
