The modern Star Wars trilogy has been met with a polarizing reaction from fans, and while The Force Awakens stayed pretty close to A New Hope, The Last Jedi was a far cry from what we have seen in the past. Regardless of the polarizing reactions that have poured in, one thing remains the same: people will continue to pack theaters to feast their eyes on the newest Star Wars movie. Solo is set to come out later this year, and Episode IX is still on the horizon. With all of this Star Wars action still coming our way, we figured we would turn our attention to perhaps the best film in the entire franchise.
Empire Strikes Back is a cinematic masterpiece that has long been considered the best film in the Star Wars franchise. It was the perfect way to bridge the first and the final film of the original trilogy, and it gave us some of the most memorable pieces of dialogue from the franchise. As this franchise continues to move forward, people will always look at this particular film as the bar that all future projects will be measured.

Who Rescues Luke From The Cold?
Heroic acts are not uncommon throughout this franchise, and the events of Empire put Luke Skywalker in compromising positions throughout the film. In fact, as soon as we get underway, bad things are right around the corner, and for a while there, it looked as though this hero’s journey was coming to an abrupt end for our pal. Fortunately, there was someone daring enough to venture into the unknown and track him down. Given the number of people on the icy planet at the time, this answer may surprise you.
Who Loses A Hand In The Film?
This is something that we have seen in so many Star Wars films, and in Empire, one of the tensest scenes of the movie involves a character losing his hand. It occurred during a battle that we all knew was destined to take place, and the character’s failure here sent him back to the drawing board and completing his training before doing something that was ill advised again. With all the hands lost throughout the series, do you remember which character loses theirs here?
Where Does Obi-Wan Tell Luke To Go?
Before Luke Skywalker passes out from exhaustion after going through hell and coming back early on in the film, he is approached by a Force ghost and is told to venture to another planet in search of a master to train him.

Which Character Said: “Laugh it up, fuzz ball.”
It doesn’t matter how much you love your closest friends, at some point, you are going to trade insults and cut each other down. It doesn’t mean that you have grown to hate each other; it’s just the way that things shake out.

Which Bounty Hunter Is Sent To Track Down Han Solo?
If you aren’t able to get the job done yourself, it’s not a bad idea to hire an outside party who specializes in a particular field to ensure success.

This character was able to get the job done and become popular in the process. People have been calling for his solo film for years!
What Happens To Han At The End Of The Film?
One of the most intriguing aspects of Empire is the fact that it ends on such a down note. A hand is lost, hope is bleak and our beloved Han Solo is eventually tracked down by a legendary bounty hunter. Once Han came to be in the presence of the enemy, they had a number of things that they wanted to do to him. He was, after all, in serious debt to another character. So, the enemy did what anyone else would do, and he decided to send a message courtesy of Han’s well being.
What Ship Does Han Solo Captain?
When it comes to Star Wars trivia, this is one of the easiest questions that you will ever be asked, but we included it here because its importance throughout the franchise cannot be overstated. The ship is the fastest piece of junk in the entire galaxy, and without it being able to do what it does so well, our heroes would have never succeeded. Disney is putting an attraction of this ride in their theme parks starting in 2019, and fans cannot wait.
Where Do Han And Lando Meet?
Calling upon your friends for help can be a great way to succeed. Unless, of course, your friend hands you over to the enemy and completely betrays you. This is exactly what happened to Han Solo when he encountered his old friend Lando Calrissian who quickly became a character that was hated by just about every fan of the series. As we saw, Lando would have a redemption arc that restored people’s faith in him. Do you remember where Han and Lando met in Empire?
Which Character Appears As A Force Ghost In The Film?
This unique power is something that no one expected to see when Empire was released, and after the odd way this character met his demise in A New Hope, fans were excited to see him appear in Empire. The feat that he is able to pull off here is something that we would eventually see in the Star Wars movies that followed, and it was taken to an entirely new level in the modern trilogy. Don’t you wish you could do something like this?
Which Creature Abducts Luke Skywalker?
Now, we already identified the type of creature that Luke was riding during the beginning of the film, but as we mentioned as well, Luke was busted up and taken away by a creature that was preparing to eat him. This monster was frightening to kids the first time they watched the film, and it made us think twice about playing in the snow during the winter. Thankfully, Luke was able to escape the clutches of this terrifying beast and make it back home.
Which Two Characters Have A Lightsaber Duel?
Can you really consider a Star Wars movie good if it doesn’t involve someone sparking a lightsaber and wiping out their enemy?

Once the battle came to a conclusion, the future of the franchise was completely change when a startling fact was revealed. It helped set up the events of the third and final film of the original trilogy.
Which Character Said: “Why, you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!”
This may not sound like a hurtful insult to us, but apparently, things are a lot different in a galaxy far, far away. The two characters involved in this exchange have a lot of feelings towards one another, and sometimes, those feelings can boil over with both loving and hurtful comments. This one in particular sways towards the latter, and it gave us all a new set of words to toss at our friends on the playground, though we still aren’t sure what a nerf-herder is.
Which Character Is Han Being Delivered To?
It seems like just about everyone has a problem with Han Solo at some point in their dealings with him, and one notorious gangster was going to stop at nothing to get his hands on him. This character was not a primary player in Empire, but he would become one of the most notorious villains in the Star Wars franchise after appearing in Return of the Jedi. Can you remember which villain Han Solo was being delivered to in Empire?
Can You Name The Actor Who Plays Yoda?
Name a more iconic character. We’ll wait. The Empire Strikes Back was the film that introduced the world to Yoda, and his unique speech delivery completely changed the game and sparked a planet of impersonators. He is a rascally character when he and Luke first meet, but there is no denying the impact that he had on the character’s development. His appearance in The Last Jedi was one of the most memorable moments of the polarizing film, and it left people feeling nostalgic.
Which Character Does Vader Want To Deliver Luke To?
Some of our favorite villainous characters are simply doing to dirty work for the real big baddy who lurks in the shadows, and Darth Vader is no exception to this. Even though Vader is capable of destroying droves of people and executing successful campaigns by himself, at the end of the day, he is doing all of this in the service of the true villain. Everything would come to a head in Return of the Jedi, but this character does appear too often in Empire.
How Does The Millennium Falcon Escape The TIE Fighters?
As we mentioned earlier, there is a special reason why people love the Millennium Falcon. Not only is it the ship that is piloted by a daring pilot, but it is also far more impressive than it looks on the outside. Not unlike that busted car we all had to drive once upon a time, the Falcon has much more to it than people realize, and without one specific feature, there is absolutely no way it could have gotten away from enemy TIE Fighters that were going to blow it up.
Which Character Agrees To Train Luke?
When we first meet Luke Skywalker, he is taken under the wing of Obi-Wan Kenobi and he begins to learn a thing or two about being a Jedi.

Moving forward, Luke still wants nothing more than to be a Jedi like his father was before him, and he is approached by a familiar face to seek out training on another planet.
Which Character Said: “Don't let yourself be destroyed as Obi-Wan did.”
The Empire Strikes Back is filled with some of the most memorable lines that have ever been spoken in a Star Wars film, and with this one here, a stern warning was issued. Even though there are plenty of themes throughout these films, one of the reasons why people show up is to see amazing aerial battles in space and to see characters duel to the death. As such, there are plenty of words exchanged before characters come to blows.
What Type Of Aircraft Does Luke Fly?
There are a ton of different ships in Star Wars, and this one in particular is one of the best known models around. Certain ships are associated with certain sides of the fight, and the pilots of these ships are always working with the rebel scum that want to take down Darth Vader. Watching these films made plenty of people out there wish that they could go to a galaxy far, far away and hop in the cockpit of one of these ships.
How Do Luke And Han Survive The Cold?
Luke Skywalker met plenty of obstacles along the road to becoming a Jedi, and these struggles are what made his journey so compelling. Watching a character that is so innately good at everything doesn’t make their journey interesting, and George Lucas nailed this aspect about Luke. One such obstacle he faces is at the beginning of Empire when he is abducted and nearly eaten. Sure, he escapes, but there is only one way he survived the night in the cold.
Can You Name The Actor Who Plays R2-D2?
No Star Wars quiz would be complete if we didn’t talk about this iconic droid here. Unlike his counterpart C-3PO, this droid doesn’t speak English, but there are characters who can understand him.

After finally coming to in The Force Awakens, he helped Rey track down the missing Luke Skywalker.
Which Legendary Character Made Their Debut in Empire Strikes Back?
Star Wars has no shortage of iconic characters that have so far withstood the test of time and remain as popular as they were when they first made their debut in the franchise.

These characters quickly became popular with fans, and they remain loved to this very day. Can you remember who debuted in Empire?
What Color Is Luke’s Lightstaber In Empire Strikes Back?
Lightsaber colors have long been a focus point for fans of the series, and many characters can be identified by the color of their lightsaber. A Jedi’s lightsaber is supposed to give you a pretty could idea about their personality, and during the events of Empire, we see Luke Skywalker eventually lose his lightsaber. Of course, he would build himself a new one, but people will never forget the color of the lightsaber that once belonged to his now evil father.
Can You Name The Actor Who Plays C-3PO?
C-3PO is one of the most iconic characters in the entire Star Wars franchise and, while many people associated with the brave and daring Han Solo, other people saw themselves as far more reserved like C-3PO. He is a total worrywart throughout the series, and even though he may try and put up resistance, he will always find himself doing what needs to be done to help his friends achieve their goals and escape any situation alive. But, who is the man behind the droid?
