Star Wars Trivia!

TL;DR

Mike, Jack, and Rich from Red Letter Media compete in a chaotic three-round Star Wars trivia game with increasingly absurd questions and rule changes.

Key Points

• 1.- The game has three rounds: original trilogy individual questions (1 point each), a buzzer round for prequels/sequels (2 points, minus 2 for wrong answers), and a physical challenge sorting 12 action figures by appearance order.
• 2.- Round 1 notable answers: TIE stands for Twin Ion Engine, Luke switches to green lightsaber in Return of the Jedi, C-3PO is fluent in over 6 million forms of communication, and Yoda was almost portrayed by a monkey.
• 3.- Rich buzzes in early on the Darth Vader secret line question, blurting 'Jedi' before hearing it; the actual substitute line was 'Obi-Wan killed your father.'
• 4.- The Star Wars Holiday Special features prominently: writer Bruce Vilanch admitted heavy cocaine use during its writing, Wookies celebrate Life Day, and Chewie's family members are Lumpy, Mala, and Itchy.
• 5.- George Lucas's uncredited cameo in Revenge of the Sith is Baron Papanoida, and he directed four Star Wars films total (Rich famously buzzes in with 'one' before correcting himself).
• 6.- The buzzer round includes obscure answers like Yoda's early outline name being 'Buffy,' the Libyan government mistaking the Sandcrawler for a military tank during A New Hope production, and Mace Windu being killed by Emperor Palpatine (with Anakin's interference).
• 7.- Final scores going into the physical challenge are extremely close; Rich, despite stumbling on Beskar (Mandalorian armor material), wins the action figure sorting round and claims 10,000 points.
• 8.- The episode is framed as their '100th episode' of Star Wars Trivia, though the hosts immediately contradict this saying it's their first, and the show is declared cancelled at the end.
