Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which bad man harnessed the power of lightning or electricity through The Force?

Answer: The Emperor

Emperor Palpatine wields no physical weapons (like a light saber) in the original trilogy.

2. This bad man likes to choke, by way of The Force, those who disagree with him or fail to produce results.

Answer: Darth Vader

Darth Vader loved to choke people, but possibly got soft in his old age; after choking at least four people (Antilles, Needa, Ozzel, and Motti) in "A New Hope" and "The Empire Strikes Back", he choked no one in "Return of the Jedi".

3. Which of these bad men orders the destruction of Alderaan when he says "continue with the operation; you may fire when ready"?

Answer: Grand Moff Tarkin

Tarkin blackmailed Leia into giving up the location of the Rebel base by telling her that her home planet would be destroyed if she didn't. Both lost in the deal, with Tarkin getting outdated information and Leia watching Alderaan destroyed anyways.

4. This character, though he became part of the Rebel Alliance, was portrayed as a "bad man" for being a smuggler and a "scoundrel." He once said, "I'm in it for the money."

Answer: Han Solo

Han came into the story as a hired pilot; when the group inadvertently ended up on the Death Star, Luke had to convince Han to help save Princess Leia by convincing him that "she's rich" and that the reward would be "more wealth than you can imagine," to which Han responded, "I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit."

Answer: Greedo

Many "Star Wars" faithful believe that Han originally shot first, while George Lucas maintains that the original recording was edited in such a way that Greedo can be incorrectly perceived as shooting first.

Answer: Imperial Storm Troopers

The Empire was trying to track down the droids (C-3PO and R2-D2) that stowed away on an escape pod in the belief that they were carrying secret plans for the Death Star that was still being built. After finding the Jawas' trading post destroyed, Luke realizes that the Storm Troopers must have found out who the droids were sold to; he raced to his home to find it was also destroyed.

7. Though this bad man makes his first (virtual) appearance in "The Empire Strikes Back", there is no actor credited with portraying him until Ian McDiarmid plays him in "Return of the Jedi".

Answer: The Emperor

The only credit for the Emperor in "The Empire Strikes Back" is Clive Revill as the voice, even though there is clearly an image of the Emperor (in holograph form) that must have been portrayed by somebody.

8. Which bad man refuses to evacuate the Death Star, and ultimately dies with it, because he refuses to accept that the Rebellion has identified and/or can exploit the Death Star's one weakness?

Answer: Grand Moff Tarkin

In Tarkin's words: "Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances." Tarkin's arrogance turns out to be suicidal, as the Death Star is destroyed just before it has a chance to fire on the new Rebel base of Yavin 4.

9. Which bad man walks in on Darth Vader while his helmet is off?

Answer: Admiral Piett

This entire scene is purely symbolic, as it has no real impact on the story. No reason is ever given as to why Vader removes his helmet or what he is doing in that chamber. In the novelization of "The Empire Strikes Back" by Ryder Windham, there is this line: "'Take a gook look, Admiral,' thought Vader. 'Imagine the worst, and let your fear fuel my power.'" This is a handy inclusion for the book, but those of us who just enjoy the movies are free to speculate on the scene as we wish.

10. Besides a number of anonymous Storm Troopers, which bad man did Princess Leia kill?

Answer: Jabba the Hutt

She choked the overgrown slug with the chain Jabba used to keep her captive. Maybe she has a little of her father in her after all.
