To celebrate "Star Wars Day", the early May issue of the Stack junk email from the Australian / New Zealand electronics store JB Hi-Fi had a Star Wars themed quiz competition to win gift vouchers. Most of the questions are fairly easy. I think I got all the answers and did enter the competition, but it doesn't look like I won the vouchers. :(

They said they were going to post the answers, but either I missed it or they didn't do it (I can't find anything on their website). The printed magazine does have the answers for the previous month's quiz, but these junk email quizzes never seem to have published answers. :(

My answers were:
  1. Boba Fett, IG-88, Bossk, among others
  2. Darth Plagueis
  3. David Lynch
  4. Sy Snootles
  5. Kowakian Monkey-lizard
  6. Large bat-like creatures that live in space (and sometimes inside giant space slugs).
  7. Both Ponda Baba (aka Walrus Man) and Dr Evazan
  8. Captain Needa
  9. Admiral Ackbar
  10. Gorse Bendak used the alias Bendak Starkiller. The original name for the character Luke Skyalker in early drafts was Luke (or Annikin) Starkiller.
  11. Crix Madine
  12. The 501st Legion - a worldwide group of Star Wars fans who costume-wearers
  13. Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
  14. 55, according to the Wookieepedia list at http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/LucasArts which includes one cancelled game and one "TBA" / as yet unreleased game.
  15. Parker Bros
  16. Gremlins (although terming that "horror" is a bit of a stretch).
  17. Sebastian Shaw
  18. Once - Luke says it at the end of the movie to Lando and Chewbacca when they set off to search for the frozen Han.
  19. Stormtrooper Commander Daine Jir
  20. On the Outer Rim planet Sernpidal (although Disney's take-over may well change that)
  21. BBY and ABY - Before / After the Battle of Yavin (at the end of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope)
  22. A potato, a sports shoe / sneaker, and other things (reportedly) were used in the background of the asteroid scenes.
