“Good against remotes is one thing . . . good against the living; that’s something else.”

Remember those wise words from Han Solo as you prepare to match wits against your foes, you Obi Wan KeKnow-It-Alls . . . it is important to have powerful friends. The focus of this quiz will be on the original trilogy, but there will definitely be questions about the new films as well. Also, anything else in the Star Wars universe is fair game, from toys to spin-offs to parodies to fan culture. Camping outside East Burn for weeks before this quiz will be discouraged.
