Star Wars Q&A


Star Wars Insider 58 (pages 96-97)


  • Is there an official in-universe Star Wars calendar?
  • Why can there only be two Sith?
  • C-3PO, R2-D2, and the various pit and battle droids all act like living, breathing people, but they're machines. Besides the fact that it makes them more interesting, is there a reason they act like this?
  • If Boba Fett is so good, how does a blind guy with a stick kill him by accident?
  • In A New Hope, Han goes up a ladder to fight off TIE fighters while Luke goes down the same ladder. But when they yell back and forth to one another, they are side-by-side! Should't Han be above Luke?
  • If Jabba's species, the Hutts, have neither males nor females, how come Jabba has slave girls? Also how come many, many Star Wars information books declare Jabba as male?
  • How do you turn a lightsaber on? Do you need the Force?
  • Why is the writing on the Death Star in English lettering in A New Hope?
  • Where do droid names come from? Isn't there a limit to the number of different R2-unit names there can be?
