In the Matrix, (first movie) Agent Smith says he can taste something. What can he taste?

Inevitability?

-HECK!

What the???? You have fallen from grace, you need to bone up on the Matrix, your street cred is suspect. Or it may be that I worded my question in a sucky way.



Stink. Smith can taste your stink. Or the stink of Morpheus.

Darth Vader?

Nope...



Princess Leia.


Mention of Princess Leia occurs in the third paragraph of the prologue. Specifically, it reads:

'Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy....'

Hokey!!!

Right on, brother!!! :saber:

In the Silmarillion, it says that Amon Amarth is another name for what famous Lord of the Rings mountain/volcano?

Mount Doom

Yep! Tis Mount Doom, where the ring was destroyed. (and made)

Yay! I haven't read The Silmarilliom... so, I was totally guessing.

Luke and Leia are briefly separated from Chewie and Han Solo. Caught in a shaft, they enter into a blaster battle with some stormtroopers. Which of these is true of this battle?

• Leia shoots a stormtrooper, but Luke misses with his shots.
  
• Luke and Leia shoot one stormtrooper each.
  
• Luke shoots a stormtrooper, but Leia misses with her shots.
  
• Neither Luke nor Leia shoot a stormtrooper.
  

I'm gonna say they each shoot one.

And you would be 100% correct, Dave!!! Good going.

And for a second one:


How many members of the Jedi Council survived Episode III? Be careful.

• 2
  
• 3
  
• 1
  
• 4
  

I know it was C3p0 that got the last line. The other I don't know...


Obi wasn't a council member I don't think. I don't remember. Yoda was. So one.

WAIT. I just thought of Vader, he was on the council, or sat on it. But he wasn't a full jedi yet, so I don't know trick question there, I give up on that one...

Okay, your first one, you're correct.

The last character to speak in "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" is also the first character to speak in "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope," none other then C-3PO. He says, "Oh, no."


The second question you REALLY have to think about. The answer is three. Here is how:

Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi were both able to survive order 66. Anakin Skywalker was named to the council at the beginning of the movie, so he was the third member of the council to survive.

I almost went with the elf chick and the horse river deal, but that was in elvin, and I got to thinkin about it, and I think it was Sauramon (spelling) the bad wizards tower getting hammered by that river.

I don't recall who said it, I think one of them ents, maybe treebeard. They broke up the damn and flooded the tower, and that would have been in movie #2, the two towers. I one I saw with the fat kid with gas rippin barn burners the whole movie....

or maybe it was the last one, now I don't know. I recant!!!

Don't sell yourself short, Dave. Right on! *two thumbs up*

The Two Towers.


Treebeard says it when the Ents are attacking Isengard. They break the dam and the water puts out the fires.
