Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What did Luke do to beat Fixer in their race through Beggar's Canyon?

Answer: Threaded the Stone Needle

The Stone Needle was a rock formation on Tatooine. One of the first to fly through it at racing speed was Biggs Darklighter. Biggs had the best time in the speed runs of Beggar's Canyon. He achieved that by "threading the Stone Needle".

2. What was the name of the Imperial officer who was killed by his own weapon while on Alderaan?

Answer: Lord Tion

Lord Tion was hoping to win the hand of Princess Leia by bragging about his bright future with the Empire. Little did he know, Leia and her father, Bail Organa, were hoping he would slip up and reveal information about the Death Star. Tion did and realized the Organas were with the rebellion.

A struggle ensued and he was shot and killed by his own blaster. Alderaan was a peaceful planet without weapons, Tion brought his own.

3. Who did Han Solo find waiting for him at the Millennium Falcon after the incident with Greedo in the Cantina?

Answer: Heater

Heater was a Bounty Hunter who worked for Jabba the Hutt. This scene was reworked from the original scene with Han and Jabba. The Han and Jabba footage was redone and added to the "Star Wars Special Edition".

4. What is the name of the Imperial Starship Biggs Darklighter is assigned to as First Mate?

Answer: Rand Ecliptic

Biggs was to be First Mate, but decided to jump ship at their first port of call and join the Rebellion.

5. The Labor Pool Overseer on the Tantive IV mispronounces C-3PO's name as what?

Answer: 3-CPO

This is one of my favorite parts of the radio drama. C-3PO and R2-D2 are assigned to a special work detail for Captain Antilles. The Labor pool Overseer doesn't say 3PO's name correctly and could care less. Classic 3PO dialogue!

6. What is Luke listening to while in the Tech Dome, when his friend Windy arrives?

Answer: Academy Recruitment Tape

Bantha Tracks was the name of the Star Wars Fan Club. Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes played at the Cantina in Mos Eisley. Star Piloting for Dummies is just made up. No, really!

7. Who wrote this radio adaption of "Star Wars"?

Answer: Brian Daley

Timothy Zahn wrote "Heir to the Empire", "Dark Force Rising" and "The Last Command" among other "Star Wars" novels. Michael Kenneally is an up and coming writer and my best friend. George Lucas is George Lucas.

8. How many times was Luke "killed" during his Combat Training Simulation?

Answer: 2

The Rebel base on Yavin 4 is where this takes place. Biggs puts Luke in the Combat Simulator and throws the entire Imperial fleet at him. Red Leader was so impressed, he gave Luke an X-Wing!

9. Who portrayed Princess Leia for the Radio Drama?

Answer: Ann Sachs

Carrie Fisher was Leia in the movies but not for the radio. Ann Sachs did a superb job as Leia in the radio dramatization. Anne Gerety played Aunt Beru and Stephanie Steele played Cammie in the series also.

10. This former cast member of "In Living Color" played a smuggler in the Cantina scene.

Answer: David Allen Grier

David Allen Grier was in the movie "Jumanji" and tons of other movies and TV shows. I remember him most from "In Living Color". Now that was a funny show!
