However, amusingly, he has been known to seize the high ground advantage from time to time. But his proximity to a looming Thanos in the background seems to call back to the multiple instances where the Devil of Hell&#8217;s Kitchen was pitted against villains and fellow heroes absurdly above his weight class. Yet, something about him having Obi-Wan Kenobi feels oddly satisfying, even if it&#8217;ll hardly change <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/star-wars-obi-wan-kenobi-most-tragic-character\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Jedi master&#8217;s ultimate fate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the notion of high-profile Marvel villains working alongside the Galactic Empire is equally wild at points, and at others, oddly fitting. Doctor Doom absolutely passes the vibe check posed next to Darth Vader, and Thanos is more than sufficient as an imposing, immensely powerful ally to the Empire with doubtless ulterior motives, while Ultron blends particularly well into the background.<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-vignette\">\n<div class=\"sw-quiz\">\n<p>  <canvas class=\"sw-particles\" id=\"sw-particles\"\/><\/p>\n<p>  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-s0\" name=\"sw-step\" checked=\"checked\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-s1\" name=\"sw-step\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-s2\" name=\"sw-step\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-s3\" name=\"sw-step\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-s4\" name=\"sw-step\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-s5\" name=\"sw-step\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-s6\" name=\"sw-step\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-s7\" name=\"sw-step\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-s8\" name=\"sw-step\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-sR\" name=\"sw-step\"\/><\/p>\n<p>  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q1a\" name=\"sw-q1\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q1b\" name=\"sw-q1\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q1c\" name=\"sw-q1\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q1d\" name=\"sw-q1\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q2a\" name=\"sw-q2\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q2b\" name=\"sw-q2\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q2c\" name=\"sw-q2\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q2d\" name=\"sw-q2\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q3a\" name=\"sw-q3\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q3b\" name=\"sw-q3\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q3c\" name=\"sw-q3\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q3d\" name=\"sw-q3\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q4a\" name=\"sw-q4\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q4b\" name=\"sw-q4\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q4c\" name=\"sw-q4\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q4d\" name=\"sw-q4\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q5a\" name=\"sw-q5\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q5b\" name=\"sw-q5\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q5c\" name=\"sw-q5\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q5d\" name=\"sw-q5\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q6a\" name=\"sw-q6\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q6b\" name=\"sw-q6\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q6c\" name=\"sw-q6\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q6d\" name=\"sw-q6\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q7a\" name=\"sw-q7\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q7b\" name=\"sw-q7\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q7c\" name=\"sw-q7\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q7d\" name=\"sw-q7\"\/><br \/>\n  <input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q8a\" name=\"sw-q8\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q8b\" name=\"sw-q8\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q8c\" name=\"sw-q8\"\/><input type=\"radio\" id=\"sw-q8d\" name=\"sw-q8\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"sw-slides\">\n<p>    <!-- INTRO --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sw-slide sw-sl0\">\n<div class=\"sw-intro-box\">\n        <span class=\"sw-ep-label\">A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away \u00b7 Eight Questions<\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"sw-main-title\">How Well Do You Know Star Wars?<\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"sw-crawl-sub\">\u201cThe Force will be with you.

The answer is 1977. 1975 is when the script was being shopped around. 1979 is when Star Trek: The Motion Picture released as a Star Wars-shaped countermove. 1980 is The Empire Strikes Back.

Vader is Anakin Skywalker, Luke\u2019s father. The reveal was so jealously guarded that Mark Hamill was only told the real line on set the day they shot it (the script said \u201cObi-Wan killed your father\u201d), and even James Earl Jones recorded the dub without knowing the full plot context. The line \u2014 commonly misquoted as \u201cLuke, I am your father\u201d \u2014 rewrote what trilogies could pull off and is broadly considered cinema\u2019s most famous twist.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong. The answer is that Vader is Luke\u2019s father, Anakin Skywalker. The whole foundation of the Skywalker saga collapses to this single twist: Anakin (the Jedi prodigy of the prequels) becomes Vader after his fall. Luke and Leia are revealed in Return of the Jedi to be his twin children, separated at birth.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sw-btn-next\" for=\"sw-s4\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q4: Yoda voice \/ Frank Oz --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sw-slide sw-sl4\">\n<div class=\"sw-question-card\">\n<p>04<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"sw-question-text\">Yoda \u2014 the green, ear-twitching Jedi Master \u2014 was puppeted and voiced from his Empire Strikes Back debut through the prequels and the sequels by a single Muppet-show-veteran performer who also voices Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear.

Frank Oz \u2014 longtime Jim Henson collaborator and voice\/puppet work on Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, Sam Eagle and Grover. Oz puppeted Yoda directly through The Phantom Menace before CGI took over for Attack of the Clones onward, but he\u2019s continued to voice the character through the sequels and animated series. Yoda\u2019s syntax was developed jointly by Lucas and Oz to feel old, foreign and hard-won.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong. The answer is Frank Oz. Jim Henson was Oz\u2019s mentor and collaborator (he created the Muppets) but didn\u2019t voice Yoda. Steve Whitmire took over Kermit after Henson\u2019s 1990 death. Brian Henson is Jim\u2019s son and runs the Henson company today. Yoda is Frank Oz\u2019s.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sw-btn-next\" for=\"sw-s5\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q5: Disney acquisition year --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sw-slide sw-sl5\">\n<div class=\"sw-question-card\">\n<p>05<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"sw-question-text\">In a deal that reshaped Hollywood, Disney acquired Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 billion in cash and stock \u2014 bringing Star Wars, Indiana Jones, ILM and Skywalker Sound under the Disney umbrella.

The deal was announced with simultaneous reveal that a Star Wars Episode VII was being developed for a 2015 release. Lucas had been quietly preparing his exit from Lucasfilm for years; Kathleen Kennedy had been brought in as co-chair months earlier specifically to take over. The Force Awakens came out three years later, in December 2015, kicking off the modern era.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong. The answer is 2012. 2009 is when Disney acquired Marvel ($4 billion). 2010 is the year before Lucas began signalling exit plans. 2014 is when production proper began on The Force Awakens. Lucasfilm joined Disney on October 30, 2012.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"sw-btn-next\" for=\"sw-s6\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q6: Mandalorian --><\/p>\n<section class=\"sw-slide sw-sl6\">\n<div class=\"sw-question-card\">\n<p>06<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"sw-question-text\">The Mandalorian launched as Disney+\u2019s flagship original on November 12, 2019 \u2014 the day the streaming service itself launched.

Din Djarin \u2014 played by Pedro Pascal under the helmet (with body double Brendan Wayne handling much of the physical work). The Mandalorian is widely credited with reviving Star Wars on TV, popularising the StageCraft LED-volume virtual production technology now used across Hollywood, and turning baby Yoda \u2014 Grogu \u2014 into the meme-economy phenomenon of late 2019. Three seasons have aired with a feature film, The Mandalorian &amp; Grogu, set for May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong. The answer is Din Djarin. Boba Fett is the famous bounty hunter from the original trilogy, with his own Disney+ spinoff (The Book of Boba Fett, 2021). Cobb Vanth is the Tatooine marshal played by Timothy Olyphant. Bo-Katan Kryze is the Mandalorian princess played by Katee Sackhoff.

Palpatine\u2019s \u201cExecute Order 66\u201d comm to the clone armies leads to the methodical, planet-by-planet liquidation of the Jedi Order \u2014 one of the saga\u2019s most operatic sequences, scored to John Williams\u2019 \u201cAnakin\u2019s Betrayal\u201d cue. The same film features Anakin\u2019s fall to the Dark Side, the Mustafar duel with Obi-Wan, and his rebirth as Darth Vader in the suit. Widely re-evaluated as the best of the prequels.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong. The answer is Revenge of the Sith. Phantom Menace ends with Qui-Gon\u2019s death and the unveiling of Darth Maul. Attack of the Clones ends with the Clone Wars beginning. Rogue One is set just before A New Hope, after Order 66 has long since happened.

Season 1 (12 episodes, 2022) is widely regarded as Star Wars\u2019 finest dramatic writing ever; Season 2 (also 12 episodes, in four three-episode jumps across 2025) closes the gap to Rogue One\u2019s opening scene. Gilroy\u2019s prior credits: Bourne Identity \/ Supremacy \/ Ultimatum \/ Legacy, plus directing Michael Clayton (2007).<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Wrong. The answer is Tony Gilroy.
