How many legs did the imperial probot have? Well i am going to have a go and probably (most certainly) be 100% wrong  Prob bot sounds medical. Was it the thing they used to interrogate the princess? That had a lot of gadgets but as to legs i will guess 4 Happy Modelling

I'd have gone with none. If this was the spy drone sent out by the Star Destroyer at the beginning of ESB and which was destroyed by Han and Chewie it didn't touch the ground so the dangly bits must have been sensors not legs!

Well it's a new week and we all know what that means... a new trivia question! Only those who are true Star Wars fans know the answer to this one... so put on your thinking caps and answer off the top of your head... remember, no cheating by looking up the answer online (that includes asking Google, Siri or Cortana!)... You can do so AFTER you post to check yourself, but we'll weed out the real geeks here! So without further ado... QUESTION 30:
From what classic film does the word "Wookiee" originate from (and no it wasn't Star Wars!)?Answer:
THX-1138 - The first movie Lucas created. During the climactic chase scene, one of the robotic cops, voiced by actor Terry McGovern, improvises: "I think I ran over a Wookiee back there", and thus the word was born. Wookey was the surname of a friend of Terry's, Bill Wookey, and Terry thought it would be a funny in-joke to include his friend's name in the soundtrack for THX-1138.

Well it's a new week and you all know what that means... a new Question of the Week! That's right, every week I try to stump you guys on Star Wars questions, and I gotta say, I think you all have been doing a pretty good job so far! This week's question is brought to you by Tibanna Mining Corporation... bringing you all the gas you need to live! Now, remember the rules... No cheating by using Google or any form or search engine to get the answer... try to use your knowledge of the Star Wars universe to answer. Answer first, then go look up your answer after (but don't post it until the answer is posted to keep it fair for everyone else!) You can go and watch the movies for your answer if you really want to, but we're here to separate the geeks from the SUPER GEEKS! So without further ado... here's this week's question... good luck young padawans! QUESTION 31:
In real life, this material made up of nitrobenzene, saltpeter, sulfur, and diatomaceous earth would have caused Bespin to explode. What is it?Answer:
Carbonite - In real life carbonite is actually one of the first and most successful explosive compounds that was used exclusively in coal mining. I'm sure if Han were coated in this stuff there wouldn't have been much left of him!

Based on the 'nitro' bit I'd go for Dynamite. If I remember correctly, dynamite is a form of nitroglycerine in a chalky substance. Safe to handle (unless its sweating!)

This week's question is brought to you by the Tuskin Deli... come find out what all the fuss is about! You all know the rules but for those just joining us, lemme go over them again. This is just at test of you knowledge of all things Star Wars! Don't go to Google to look up the answer, anyone can do that... if you wanna take a guess at the answer, go ahead and post your answer FIRST, then go look up the answer after posting to check yourself, but don't spoil it for everyone else. You can however go back and watch the movies (including the BTS stuff on the DVDs). But let's see who the real fans are! Ask your friends to join along and see if they know! New questions are posted on Mondays and I usually give a couple of days for everyone to read and post their guesses before I post the answer! There are no prizes, no monies, just good fun to give ya a little street geek cred! So without further ado... here's this week's question... Question 32:
The Empire Strikes Back primarily takes place in two sectors. The Sluis sector that includes the Dagobah system and this sector that includes the other planets in the film.Answer:
The Anoat Sector! For reference, watch ESB and just after the scene where they hide on the back of the Star Destroyer, Leia asks where they are. There's your answer!

I think Hoth is the system and 'Anota' is the sector Jase I watched all the films in order last bank holiday  “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
