May the fourth be with you: the Guardian Star Wars Day quiz

This article is more than 3 years old

Twenty-four questions to test your knowledge of the weird and wonderful characters that populate the Star Wars universe

It’s Star Wars Day. May the fourth. “May the force be with you.” It’s a pun, you see.

And what better way to celebrate than to test your knowledge of some of the characters established in the Star Wars universe? Some in this quiz are well known, and others are slightly more obscure. Only a true Jedi will be able to divine all the correct answers.

Beware: get a low score and you may find yourself being fed to the Sarlacc.

  • This is an updated version of our Star Wars quiz from 2018. There’s no prize – it’s just for fun. We’ve used a combination of the captions in our photo library, the ultimate and definitive online Star Wars resource Wookieepedia, and the author’s dim memories of going to see the movies in the cinema in the 1970s and 80s to compile this quiz. You can let martin.belam@theguardian.com know by email if you are really, really angry about the answer to something.
