Star Wars

The trials of youth
SO… my poor Froggy, my 13 year old boy, was about to blow a casket this morning on the way to school.. We listen to Alice 97.3, the Sarah and No Name show in the morning and this morning they were having a contest… STAR WARS TRIVIA… the person that could answer the most questions would win a portable DVD player and a chance to win tickets at the opening… FROGGY GRABS my cell phone frantically trying to dial the number, it’s busy… Sunni takes the cell phone and re dials.. Busy, she re dials again… busy, she re dials again… still busy… they come back on air and say they have the two contestants that will be trying to answer the questions and win the prizes… Froggy says re dial again if they can't answer maybe the will let me… still busy.

The first question: what does TIE stand for… FROGGY YELLS from the back seat (which is only 12 inches from my ears) Twin Ion Engines… both people on the radio get that right.

The second question: Spell the name of the world that the Wookie comes from? Froggy rattles off the spelling KASHYYYK! The people on the radio both get it wrong! Froggy is correct… he moans and he groans and calls both of them stupid!

The Third question: Who was the only NON-Jedi to use a lightsaber in the original three movies? Again Froggy shouts HAN SOLO on the planet of Hoth! Only one of the guys on the radio got that right… he (Froggy) calls the other guy stupid!

The Fourth question: What parts did Kiera Knightley and Sofia Coppola play in Episode I? Well poor Froggy didn't know who they were at all… and neither did the guys on the radio! (By the way Kiera Knightley played one of Queen Amidala's handmaidens (the one that switches places with her in the battle scene at the end where they think they have QA and they really don't) I am thinking that Sofia Coppola also plays one of the handmaidens also haven't looked that one up. AND just for the record I just found out about Kiera Knightley it was in a bio I was reading.)

So had Froggy been able to get through he would have won!! Poor kid. I did think he was going to die though. And if you weren't keeping score Froggy correctly answered three of the four questions and the guy on the radio that won only answered two correctly.
Just thought I would share.
