Which "Star Wars" actor couldn't stop making lightsaber noises?

By Nerdy Trivia | September 5, 2024

With the wealth of Star Wars content we have today, it’s easy to forget how scarce it once was. When the prequels were released, no matter what anyone said later, we all thought it was the greatest thing to ever happen in the history of cinema. New Star Wars movies, from George Lucas himself, after 20 years of lawlessness in the galaxy. We stayed in line all night to get tickets to "The Phantom Menace" and we ate every second of it up. But there was one moment I remember to this day that still

10 trivia questions about Star Wars

By Classic Nerd | April 10, 2024

It's hard to pin down exactly why the Star Wars franchise has become one of the most popular media entities ever created. And with an estimated $47 billion generated since its inception in 1977, we can safely say it has indeed been a solid success. There's the vast galaxy full of interesting creatures and societies and backstories, sure, but honestly, I think it was mostly the feathered hair. That and the laser swords. With a media franchise so ripe for entertainment, there's plenty of trivia

In Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, what is Qui-Gon Jinn's communicator prop made out of?

By Classic Nerd | March 4, 2024

It may sound like something out of The Simpsons, but after my friend waited all night to secure tickets to The Phantom Menace, I had the death of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn spoiled for me by the dude in the comic book store. Still, my excitement for the first new Star Wars movie that I was actually reasonably conscious for could not be tamed. I don't care what people say now, everyone was excited as hell. It was a huge moment in movie history. Hell, I think I saw it at least six times in the thea

What does AT-AT stand for?

By Nerdy Trivia | November 1, 2023

There are two kinds of people — Star Wars fans who bicker over how to pronounce vehicle names and those who bicker with those fans about bickering too often over Star Wars. If that sentence actually made sense to you, this question should be a breeze. AT-ATs quickly earned a place in our hearts when they debuted in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back. They look, really, really cool — and they seem like they could do some damage... as long as they don't have to go up against a lone Jedi or a tow cab

What was one of Yoda’s original names in the first draft of The Empire Strikes Back?

By Nerdy Trivia | August 29, 2023

One of the reasons the Star Wars universe is so rich is thanks to the cool-sounding (or weird, funny, etc.) names. And Yoda is easily one of the most memorable names in movie history. But in an early draft of the Star Wars sequel, a name for Luke's Jedi master had yet to be decided upon. A lot of them were passed around, and frankly some of them could have killed the entire franchise. What name did Yoda almost go by? Click START to play interactive trivia. What was one of Yoda’s orig

The truth about the Kessel Run line in Star Wars (sort of)

By Classic Nerd | July 25, 2023

You've certainly heard about it before: The big mistake in Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope (or more simply, Star Wars when it first came out), in the form of a piece of dialogue written by none other than George Lucas himself. The line, uttered by Han Solo in disbelief, goes a little something like this: Solo: You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon? Obi-Wan: Should I have? Solo: It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. Just one problem: parsecs are a measureme

How many forms of communication is C-3PO fluent in?

By Nerdy Trivia | May 4, 2023

It's really incredible the amount of galactic history that C-3PO has been a part of. Besides being built by THE chosen one, Anakin Skywalker, he has also been present at every single important battle or event that's taken place since Ani powered him up. Not bad for a protocol droid who's just there to help with etiquette and translation. Also, why did a kid want to build a droid like that? Like, why not give it cool lasers or something? One thing Threepio is definitely not shy about is tellin

Who turned down the role of Yoda for The Empire Strikes Back?

By Nerdy Trivia | February 22, 2023

You can go on and on about how much you hate the Special Editions, but we all know if you were in a room with George Lucas there isn’t a single damn thing you wouldn’t do if he asked you. But in the annals of Star Wars history, there are a few souls who dared to do the impossible. And believe it or not, someone even once turned down the role of Yoda. It’s amazing to think just how close some of the most classic movies were to being completely different, and in this case Yoda’s iconic way of sp

Andor proves why Rian Johnson deserves another chance at Star Wars

By Classic Nerd | January 11, 2023

I remember the crossed arms, the tense faces, the utter look of confusion, and maybe a tinge of fear. As my friends shuffled into the bar after watching The Last Jedi, I have to admit that I was a bit surprised. You see, I’m one of “those people,” the ones who actually really liked Last Jedi, even right out of the gate. Yeah, even Canto Bright. Look, I’m not saying I’m going to totally rework where Last Jedi ranks in terms of Star Wars movies, but I was legitimately surprised by the mixed reac
