Lightyear (2022) Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Turnip

During the film, Buzz and his best friend and fellow commander, Alisha Hawthorne, joke about the appearance of their ship and refer to it as 'The Turnip'. The official name of the spaceship is Star Command SC-01 Exploration Vessel. The body of the spaceship certainly looks like the circular part of a turnip.

Answer: Featheringhamstan

Buzz voices off to Alisha Hawthorne about how rookies make more work for experienced personnel and have sad eyes. Alisha then informs Buzz that there is a rookie that will be exploring T'Kani Prime with them. As Buzz is giving the rookie orders he sees his name tag and struggles to pronounce Featheringhamstan.

Many years after initially landing on T'Kani Prime, Featheringhamstan's spacesuit is used by Buzz's crewmate Mo Morrison.

Answer: Autopilot

In the film Buzz Lightyear expresses his dislike for both rookies and autopilot. He specifically mentions that autopilot is annoying, provides too many warnings and overcomplicates things. Each spaceship in "Lightyear" was equipped with I.V.A.N. (Internal Voice Activated Navigator) which provided navigational and autopilot tasks.

Answer: Hyperspeed

When first attempting to leave T'Kani Prime in 'The Turnip' Buzz Lightyear damaged the ship's fuel cells that allow it to reach hyperspeed and perform interplanetary travel. After the crew is stranded on the hostile planet they try and recreate fuel cells with the available resources they can mine.

The first few times Buzz tries to reach hyperspeed he fails and surprisingly he ages considerably faster than the rest of his crew that stayed on the planet.

Answer: Sox

Buzz's first hyperspeed test lasted just four minutes but since he was traveling so fast his four minutes was actually four years time on the planet T'Kani Prime. During that time his best friend, Alisha Hawthorne, had gotten married. She gives a robotic cat named Sox to Buzz, to provide tactical and emotional support. Sox is equipped with useful items like tranquilizers a blowtorch and headlights and it can hack computer systems.

Answer: Robot soldiers

Zurg himself is a large robotic creature capable of inflicting massive damage. Buzz and his small resistance group learn that Zurg's ship powers his robot army on the ground and they devise a plan to destroy Zurg's spaceship. Zurg's robots are heavily armored and can shoot explosive projectiles from their arms.

Answer: Stealth mode

The members of the Junior Patrol act as a resistance force to Zurg. However, they are inexperienced and Buzz has to teach them everything. Buzz shows them the features of the spacesuit including stealth mode but Buzz neglects to tell them that it wears off quickly. Luckily, they are able to make it to the spaceship in spite of their stealth mode wearing off and being attacked by the insects.

Answer: Astrophobia

Izzy Hawthorne is the granddaughter of Alisha Hawthorne who was Buzz Lightyear's best friend. Alisha was also an expert Space Ranger completing numerous missions making Izzy's fear of space puzzling. Buzz tells Izzy that this fear is known as astrophobia and that she can conquer it by focusing on the mission and task at hand.

Answer: Go back in time

As Buzz knows from his hyperspeed flights, time dilation occurs at high speeds causing considerable differences in time. Surprisingly, Zurg is just an external suit of armor with an elderly Buzz Lightyear from an alternate future in control of it. This elderly Buzz Lightyear wants to go back decades in time so that the planet T'Kani Prime can be avoided and the crew will never get stranded there.
