1 What is Princess Leia Organa's father's name? (She thinks it's her father and he lives on Alderaan?
Answer: Bail

He served on the Galactic and Imperial Senate and lost a vote to Palpatine to become Grand Chancellor after a vote of no confidence was voted upon for Chancellor Vallorum. The vote of no confidence was from Queen Amidala of Naboo, which was really Leia's mother. Alderaan is blown up by the Death Star, which results in the death of Bail Organa. In even more irony, this was due to her real father, Anakin Skywalker who was Darth Vader at the time. Bail Antilles is different from Bail Organa however.

7 Darth Vader held me captive. Who played me?
Answer: Carrie Fisher

Fisher, a native of Los Angeles, CA, landed the part of Princess Leia. Princess Leia was a member of The Rebel Alliance and they had plans to blow up The Death Star. Right before Princess Leia was captured by Darth Vader's men, she hid the plans in R2-D2 and delivered a message to Obi-Wan Kenobi, asking him for his help. Darth Vader told Princess Leia she would be released if she told him where the plans were located. Princess Leia refused to cooperate. Midway through the film, she gave the wrong location of where the rebel base was. However, Princess Leia's home planet of Alderaan was blown up anyway. At one point, Luke, Leia, Han and Chewbacca were in a garbage compacter that was about to squish them to death, but R2-D2 managed to stop this from happening. Fisher reprised the role of Princess Leia for "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi". She was also in the film, "The Women".
8 In escaping from the detention block, the gang discovers an incredible new smell by sliding down a garbage chute. Who is the last to enter the chute?
Answer: Han Solo

You know the old saying, 'Ladies and Wookiee's first'? Okay, I made that up, but it sounds convenient. Princess Leia is the brains behind the idea of jumping into the garbage chute, and she takes the first plunge. Han Solo kicks Chewie into the chute, announcing that he 'doesn't care what [Chewbacca] smell[s]'. Luke follows Chewie in, with Han Solo bringing up the rear.
9 At the dinner table, Luke chats with his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. After having seen R2's hidden message, Luke inquires about Obi-Wan Kenobi. According to Uncle Owen, what has happened to Obi-Wan?
Answer: He died around the same time as Luke's father.

Luke is, of course, not aware that Obi-Wan and Ben Kenobi are one and the same person, but he suspects that this might be the case. Uncle Owen sets Luke straight by telling him that Ben is just a crazy old wizard, and that Obi-Wan does not exist any more, having died about the same time as Luke's father.
10 What did Luke bullseye, back at Beggar's Canyon back home? This gave him confidence that he could shoot his proton torpedoes into the small ventilation shaft on the Death Star.
Answer: Womprats

He says this with such confidence while the rebellion was showing how small the chance was that they had in hitting their target. They do say, "Let the Force be with you" though. :)
11 What creature's skeleton lay near C-3P0 when he was picked up by the Jawa Sandcrawler in the Dune Sea?
Answer: A Krayt Dragon

It was a Krayt Dragon skeleton. Krayt Dragons are feared on Tatooine, and young Tusken Raiders prove their bravery to their clan by finding and fighting one of these huge beasts.

16 Which character reels off the old 'I've got a bad feeling about this' line during the trash compactor scene?
Answer: Han Solo

After Luke is released by the snake-like creature in the garbage soup, loud creaking and cranking sounds begin to eminate from the inner machinery of the trash compactor. This prompts Han Solo to use the 'bad feeling' line, a line that is used in each of the 'Star Wars' films (first by Luke in this film).
17 Having dinner with Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, Luke is frustrated. Uncle Owen intends to hold him back another year at home to help with the harvest, despite Luke's desire to go where?
Answer: To the Academy

Luke does not want to be stuck on Tatooine all his life, and hopes to eventually attend the Academy where he will learn to become a pilot.

Tatooine is a sparsely populated planet in a binary star system. The two suns are named Tatoo I and Tatoo II. The planet also happens to have three moons. Tatooine is named for the location at which 'Star Wars' was filmed in Tunisia, namely Tataouine.
18 Who is the first character to utter any kind of speech in the original 'Star Wars'?
Answer: C-3PO

Figures, doesn't it? C-3PO has a reputation for being a loudmouth. The transcript from his initial conversation is as follows:

C-3PO: 'Did you hear that?'
R2-D2: 'Bleep, Blip, Bloop, Blip, Blip' (Rough translation: 'Yes')
C-3PO: 'They shut down the main reactor. We'll be destroyed for sure. (Throws hands in the air in utter despair.) This is madness!'
R2-D2: 'Bleep, Bleep, Bleep!' (Rough translation: 'Oh, pipe down you pessimistic pile of nuts and bolts!')

(Note: Yes, I do speak R2-D2ish, in case you were wondering.)
19 Who does Obi-Wan say this to? "This little one is not worth the trouble."
Answer: Doctor Evazan

Obi Wan was talking about Luke. The guy did not like his face. The guy claims that he has the death sentence on 12 systems. After Luke says, "I'll be careful", he screams, "You'll be dead!"
The other three characters were all present except IG-88. IG-88 was a bounty hunter who was looking for Han Solo after being on Darth Vader's ship in "Episode V", but Boba Fett gets to him first. I had "Star Wars" figures of the incorrect three answers when I was younger.

25 Han Solo liked to refer to me as "golden rod". Who played me?
Answer: Anthony Daniels

Anthony Daniels got the part of C-3P0. The first line of dialogue spoken in the movie was by C-3P0, when he and R2-D2 were on the rebel ship being attacked by the Alliance. Right after Princess Leia was captured, C-3P0 and R2-D2 escaped in a pod and landed in a desert. They both made it to Luke's place where he lived with Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.
Later, on the Death Star, when Luke, Leia, Han and Chewbacca were stuck in the garbage compactor, C-3P0 answered Luke's calls for help via the com-link and C-3P0 told R2-D2 to shut down the compactor. Daniels guest starred on the TV series', "Doctors", "Holby City" and "Singles".
