Only Those Strong in the Force Can Defeat This Star Wars Character Quiz

Another May the 4th has arrived, and with it, the promise of so much Star Wars goodness on the horizon. Today, for example, sees the release of a new animated series called Tales of the Empire, which expands the stories of Lady Morgan Elsbeth, the villainous Nightsister from the Mandoverse, and Barriss Offee, a fallen Jedi whom Clone Wars fans have long wanted to revisit. The show sees both of these characters embrace the dark side for the glory of the Empire. Festive viewing indeed.

That’s only the beginning for the villains of Star Wars. On June 4, fans will get to witness the return of the Sith in the new Disney+ live action series The Acolyte, which stars Amandla Stenberg as an ex-Jedi who’s gone rogue as well as Lee Jung-jae and Dafne Keen as a Jedi Master and apprentice duo investigating a series of mysterious crimes. The show is set at the end of the High Republic era, 100 years before any of the movies, even the Prequels, which means this is the furthest back we’ve ever been on the Star Wars timeline in live action. The new era means The Acolyte can explore characters, places, and lore we’ve never seen on screen before, including how the Sith first launched their plan to take over the Republic and exterminate the Jedi Order.

But it isn’t just all bad vibes in the galaxy far, far away! To celebrate May the 4th, we also have a brand-new Star Wars quiz that will challenge how well you know even the most obscure scum of the Outer Rim just from seeing their names. There may even be a few followers of the dark side in there…

Correct answers: 1R, 2F, 3R, 4R, 5F, 6F, 7R, 8F, 9F, 10R, 11F, 12R

1. Dexter Jettster (Real) – From Attack of the Clones, this Besalisk owns Obi-Wan Kenobi’s favorite diner on Coruscant! It’s probably the Jawa Juice.

2. Porro Bibblie (Fake) – Should we start a petition to make our pal Porro Bibblie a real Star Wars character?

3. Savage Opress (Real) – Introduced in The Clone Wars, Savage is not only known for his hilariously literal bad guy name but also because he’s the brother of Darth Maul!

4. Elan Sleazebaggano (Real) – Whether you got this one right or wrong, Elan will happily sell you some death sticks.

5. Nana Visitor (Fake) – While she’d fit right in in a Star War, actor Nana Visitor famously played Kira Nerys in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

6. Quintana Omega (Fake) – There IS a character named Omega in Star Wars, but her first name ain’t Quintana. The Bad Batch character has no first name!

7. Gafferky Lenzwin (Real) – Gafferky kind of sounds like an awful meat product, but he’s a real character who hangs out on the planet Corellia in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

8. Darth Icky (Fake) – Believe it or not, George Lucas did suggest the name “Darth Icky” for the video game The Force Unleashed. Thankfully, LucasArts ignored him.

9. Kesi Daivand (Fake) – Fake, but sort of sounds like a crime lord you’d encounter in Knights of the Old Republic, right?

10. Droopy McCool (Real) – Also known by the stage name “Snit” when playing with the Max Rebo Band, Droopy plays the chindinkalu flute like no one else in the galaxy.

11. Gronhys Typhe (Fake) – You’re full of Gronhys if you think Typhe is a real Star Wars character.

12. Thermoculus Krisintvolt Scissorpunch (Real) – Yeah, we’re just as shocked as you are that this guy’s real. His Star Wars debut was actually in a Denny’s commercial!
