It's been almost three years since the first Star Wars Sheep game ... time for the sequel!



Intro for first time players


General Rules


Game-Specific Rules
Unless a question specifies otherwise: We will ONLY be using information specifically from the movies -- no EU, no books, no video games. Rogue One is in play, but ONLY information that we have learned in the released trailers will be judged. Any deviation from these standards will be assessed a 5 point penalty.

Make sure you are specific in your answers (provide everything I need to know what answer you are providing – i.e., the actor, character, film, etc.). Vague answers with multiple interpretations are subject to a 5 point penalty.

Unique Bonus: Reverse Sheep questions will generate additional bonus (negative) points according to the following:

• 1 Unique is awarded -20
• 2 Uniques are awarded -15 each
• 3 Uniques are awarded -10 each
• 4 Uniques are awarded -5 each
• 5+ Uniques are awarded -4 each
  

Slam Dunks {sd} Players have the power of multipliers in their hands. Each player is given five (5) Slam Dunks ({sd}) which they use by adding {sd} to the end of their answer. Your Slam Dunks have different effects depending on the question you use it on:

• In Sheep questions, the {sd} doubles your points.
• In Reverse Sheep questions, you can use your {sd} to turn the question into a sheep question for you. However, if your answer is wrong, it does nothing.
• Slam dunks cannot be stacked. Use one per question only or else they will be discarded. You cannot use two slam dunks to turn a Reverse into a Sheep and then slam dunk those sheep answers.

Reminders: Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Do not forget your {sd}. I will NOT be reminding you. If you submit more than 5 {sd}s, the first five will be accepted and all others discarded.

With that out of the way ... Let's get rolling!



1) Let's start at the beginning … sort of. Who is your favorite character from the Prequel Trilogy?
2) Chewie, we're home. Which planet in the Star Wars universe would you most like to live on?
3) Beyond the movies, Star Wars launched a whole new empire … toys! Which Kenner Star Wars figure, vehicle, or playset was the coolest?
4) REVERSE: Countless aliens were designed over the course of the entire saga, but not very many were named in the movies. Name an alien species which is specifically named in the Star Wars movies.
5) What was the best use of a Star Wars character outside of the SW universe? (TV commercial, other TV show, etc.)
6) What was the worst change in the Special Editions?
7) What was the best change in the Special Editions?
8) REVERSE: Name a director of a Star Wars movie.
9) Peek-a-boo! Name a well-known actor who had a small role or cameo in a SW movie.
10) Christmas is almost here … When you were a kid, what SW toy did you want but never get?
11) What is the coolest looking design for an alien species NOT specifically given a name in a Star Wars movie? (Ambiguous answers will receive a 5 point penalty -- I recommend including the movie, scene, and an adequate description.)
12) REVERSE: This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Name a non-Jedi character who handles a lightsaber.
13) We love the bad boys … Other than Darth Vader and the Emperor, who is your favorite Star Wars villain?
14) Despite being highly quotable, the entire saga only has one quote in the AFI Top 100 Movie Quotes. Other than "May the Force be with you", what is your favorite Star Wars quote?
15) What is the most iconic image from the Star Wars movies?
16) REVERSE: Name a relative of Luke Skywalker
17) Other than Jar Jar Binks and the Ewoks, who is your least favorite character.
18) Spaceships are cool and all, but we are stuck on our planet. What form of planetary travel from the movies would you like to have? (Description of a vehicle or creature is OK, but be specific!)
19) REVERSE: Name an actor who has appeared in speaking roles in both a Star Wars and a Marvel superhero movie.
20) Over the course of the films we have seen many different types of stormtrooper armor. Which is your favorite design?

If we get enough players, I'd like to run the game Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, but that's probably pretty short notice for most players. Maybe Black Friday would be good, but it just depends how many I get and how fast.

I tried to write the questions so casual viewers could play as well. Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns. (I know you will!)

I'll have to guess something for #10 since I was already an adult when SW came out.

Abob Teff

Damn ... how old are you? Sorry, I guess I didn't think that one all the way through.

I guess ... go with something you'd like to have now.

Crocker Jarmen

Awesome!

Are there only two correct answers for Question 12?

bunkaroo

The more I think about it, the more I think there are more than two, but I still probably wouldn't have risked a wrong answer.

TomOpus

I will go by what my son wanted when he saw Jedi.

Kal-El

Ah shit. I bombed so hard the last time. But I am definitely in!

The Bus

I would like to participate.

Abob Teff

I've had my share of shaky sheep questions, but I'm not that bad! I can think of 5, so there is some wiggle room. Don't overthink "wielded" ... Stick with the synonym "handled".

Kal-El

Dammit. I'm done with all my answers but I can't quite decide where to put my slams. Do I use it for what I think are sheepier answers, or to turn reverses? Fuck this game.

Palaver

I look at wielded and handled as two different things. Which are we going with?

Definition of wielded: to use (a weapon, instrument, etc.) effectively; handle or employ actively.

Crocker Jarmen

Yeah, "handled" would suggest anyone who has touched a lighstabre, "wielded" would suggest someone who has turned one on and taken a swing with it.

bunkaroo

Agreed. Would like to be able to submit a new answer without penalty if we take wielded as simply held one at some point.

Crocker Jarmen

If you're asking for advice, I've always regretted using {sd} to turn reverses. The -24 I would have gotten on some questions more than makes up for the +10 I got on a high matching reverse.

Palaver

Answers submitted. Thanks for putting this together, Abob Teff.

Lord Zarak

Answers submitted. Now I expect this Star Wars sheep game to proceed without ANY controversy. Because we all know how easy-going and laid-back Star Wars fans are, right?

wishbone

'You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss three bucks goodbye' answers submitted, thanks!

Obi-Wanma

I can think of at least 4. And my interpretation of the question is that it needed at the very least to be turned on and used for something by said person.

Abob Teff

I am going to change the wording to "handled" and will allow anybody who has submitted the opportunity to change his/her answer without penalty.

It's an Abob Teff game ... There will be controversy. There will be. Besides, go back and read the last Star Wars game (after you submit your answers).

I felt a great disturbance in the force....

..and woke up to this.

Abob Teff

The early poll numbers are looking pretty good ... The AP is already predicting Padme Amidala will handily defeat Senator Palpatine even without some of the outer rim swing systems.
