A saga that belongs to more than one generation

Star Wars means something different depending on when you found it. Some people saw it in a cinema in 1977 and never got over it. Others grew up arguing about whether the prequels were secretly good, and a whole new generation arrived with The Force Awakens. The normal quiz is built to be fair to all of them, with questions spread across the original trilogy, the prequels and the sequels.

Hard mode is for the people who own more than one cut of A New Hope. It goes after the edits George Lucas kept making, the actors you never saw, and a villain who refused to stay dead. Five out of ten there is a genuinely good score.

Which version of A New Hope

The first film has been reissued so many times that "the original" is a slippery idea. It opened in 1977 simply as Star Wars, picked up an episode number and a subtitle along the way, was reworked with new effects for the 1997 Special Edition and has been tweaked again for almost every home release since. When a hard mode question depends on a particular cut, it names the one it means.

Beyond the nine films

The normal quiz sticks to the nine Skywalker saga films. Hard mode strays once into the animated series, because that is where one of the prequel era's villains ended up after his supposed death. You can still reason your way to the answer without a Disney+ subscription.
