To date the all-action film franchise has grossed more than £10bn worldwide.
That figure can only rise as Star Wars fanatics splash out on recently released 30th anniversary memorabilia.

Let me give a honest try without cheating :)

1) Light Saber
5) Darth Vader is Luke's and Leia's father.
8) Final Star Wars movie - 2005
10) Chewie or Chewbacca
11) Red and black
20) The last one -> Revenge of Sith
23) It is the third movie of the series.

That's all I could figure out!!

Great quiz. I only got about 1/4. pyewacket did so well he deserves 'best response' anyway. Cor, when I started typing the response it jumbled up all the questions.
If the last one isn't U2 is it The Corrs.
I coudn't remember the planet with the teddies then there was another question with Endor in it and I thought, oh yes that was their planet. Is the junk food a hamburger - looks like one (or perhaps the box) to me. I thought it might have only been 3 beams of light on the deathstar but I expect he knows better than me. In case I got all of those incorrect, the sword-like weapon is a light sabre.

May the force be with you!

I've not looked to see if you have given then answers, but I thought I'd give it a go! Any I do not know the answer to I'll add a question mark.

1 - Lightsabre
2 - A Stormtrooper...and Lucas was originally going to remove this for the special edition, but decided against it in at the last minute.
3 - The S's are linked to the T and the R
4 - Carrie Fisher
5 - Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker is Luke Skywalker's father
6 - John Williams
7 - Endor...speaking of Ewoks, did you know there was 2 Ewok movies made? I don't think they are too good personally, but some people like them.
8 - The first move was released in 177 and the last was...um, I think 2003?
9 - ?
10 - Chewbacca
11 - Red and black
12 - Because of the way they spoke, it was thought they were making fun of certain foreign dialects...which is quite sad really, it's just a voice after all!
13 - Christopher Lee?
14 - Anthiny Daniels is C3PO and Kenny Baker is R2D2..and they are really nice people too!
15 - ?
16 - David Prowse is very tall! I'll guess 7'1" but think I'm totally wrong.
17 - Return Of The Jedi?
18 - Pizza
19 - ?
20 - Attack Of The Clones
21 - ?
22 - Sand Skiff I think
23 - before A New Hope, the third installment..and after The Clone Wars cartoon series.
24 - 4?
25 - Natalie Portman
26 - Tunisia?
27 - ?
28 - James Earl Jones
29 - Nerf Herder?
