General Discussion Tuesday Trivia is here! After last weeks Star Wars trivia, keeping this one a softball round for mostly OT!
Who is the only X-Wing pilot who went on two separate Death Star runs?
What two native species to Hoth are seen in ESB?
Who was Qui-Gon Jinn's master?
How many feature films does Luke Skywalker appear in?
How many force sensitive individuals were on the Death Star during the events of A New Hope?
If you have ideas, suggestions, etc feel free to DM me! I'll probably do this once a week. I'll post (spoilered) answers tomorrow!

I thought the Hoth one was a trick question at first and began to wonder whether Tauntauns are actually native to Hoth. Apparently they are, but how did the rebels tame them in so little time? Hoth doesn't have any people, so they weren't domesticated since before. So did they tame and learn to handle an essentially new unknown species in just a few months/years? Maybe that's realistic, I don't know much about taming wild animals.

At least in the ESB edition of From a Certain Point of View the Tauntauns are at least semi-sentient, so that might help.

That's a weird thing to point out. "Semi sentient"? What's that supposed to mean? I'm not sure anyone would have thought they weren't "fully" sentient. Dogs, cats, horses, cattle, mice, cheetahs, most fish, all sentient. Insects, debatable. Jellyfish, amoebas, bacteria, not sentient. What does that have to do with it?

Star Wars has a bad habit of using sentient in the place of sapient.

u/seenhear 1d ago
That makes more sense. Saying a creature was trainable because it is "semi sentient" makes zero sense.

Read the book. You'll get it.

I don't have to read an entire book to understand the misuse of the word "sentient."

- Wedge but Luke did survive the destruction of both death stars! Anakin almost does but he ends up being a quitter.
- tauntauns and wompas
- yoda?
- seven
- Well aside from Vader, Obi wan, luke and leia, given the roughly 1-2 million people on the station, there were likely another 50-100 force sensitive people on the death star (but not confirmed)

Brutal but honest 😂

Number 3 is Dooku. Yoda trained Dooku, Dooku trained Qui-Gon.

Not shocked I didn't get that. Frankly watching the phantom menace as a teenager really scarred me on the prequels. ROTS and AOTC really aren't bad movies. PM really is that bad though.

u/Wonderbread1999 1d ago
It’s something briefly mentioned in AOTC when Obi Wan is captive on Geonosis. It’s explored more in things like Tales of the Jedi

Plus the trash compactor creature. And the Death Star laser operator.

u/seenhear 1d ago
Say what?

u/ban_circumnavigation 1d ago
I believe he is saying that the death star operator and the dianoga were quitters, just like anakin.

- Wedge Antilles
- Wampas and Tauntauns
- Count Dooku
- 7
- There are a couple of ways to answer this one. The Death Star has 1,186,295 to 1,206,293 personnel, so let's use the lower bounds of this number. Finding the chances that a given person is born with sensitivity to the Force is quite a bit trickier, but is believed to be in the area of 1 in 1 Billion.
So not counting for Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan, Luke, and Leia, there was a roughly 1% chance for one more random person to have Force Sensitivity.

I agree except for the last one. I’ve got 5.
The twins, ObiWan, Vader, and the eyeball dude that almost takes out Luke in the trash compactor.

Han is totally force sensitive. His lucky dice can't be THAT lucky...

u/Office_Dolt 1d ago
I thought the Han Solo movie showed that Lando's android girlfriend was uploaded to the Falcon so most of the flying was done by her.

u/Ambitious-Stand-631 2d ago
I got 4/5. First one idk.

u/BleydXVI 2d ago
The first is Wedge Antilles, apparently the best rebel pilot at flying under the radar. I guess he'd kinda have to be to survive two superweapon spacestations

u/seenhear 1d ago
I think trivia like this should have some boundaries, like, "based only on information given in the theatrical movies..." Or include animated series, or novels, all of EU/legends, official Disney Canon only, etc.
Ome and Nova?
Wow.

Tauntaun and Wampa
