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.

The Guardian Star Wars Day quiz

We'll start with some easy ones. A very Shakespearean pose for an actor and the familiar droid mask of C-3PO. But who is the actor? Anthony Daniels Yes, of course it is Anthony Daniels, whose droid double-act with R2-D2 has been one of the most enjoyable constants throughout the whole series of Star Wars movies. Kenny Baker George Lucas Peter Cushing played this character in Star Wars: A New Hope, and he was resurrected in CGI for Rogue One. What was the character's name? Orson Callan Krennic Admiral Kendal Ozzel Grand Moff Tarkin Cushing played Grand Moff Tarkin, as well as many roles in Hammer Horror movies, and even a turn as Doctor Who at cinemas in the 1960s. It has been announced that a blue plaque in his honour will be unveiled in July at his former home in Croydon. Whose distinctive lightsaber is this? Supreme Leader Snoke Kylo Ren Yes, this is Kylo Ren's three-pronged lightsaber. You'll do yourself a nasty injury with that if you aren't careful. Mace Windu This is Luke Skywaker on the ice planet Hoth. But what is he riding? Wumpa Bantha Tauntaun It's a Tauntaun. Thanks to the sequence in The Empire Strikes Back where Han Solo slices one open, we know that they are very, very smelly inside. Which blue-coloured musician is this? Sy Snootles Ak-rev Max Rebo This blue alien was the leader of the Max Rebo band in Jabba's palace, of which Sy Snootles, Ak-rev, and Rappertunie are also members. Rappertunie What is the name of this species – which divided fan opinion when they first appeared in The Last Jedi? Porg It's the Porgs. Either fantastic comic relief aimed at children during tense action scenes, or really annoying all the way through the film, depending on your point of view. They were, it seems, added into The Last Jedi as it was easier to CGI the puffins on location in Skellig Michael into the porg creatures than to remove them entirely. Borg Drashig Worg Disney provoked ire this May The Fourth by appearing to do what on social media? Ban people from using the #MayTheFourth hashtag Introducing new characters for #MayTheFourth Appearing to claim the copyright on all tweets using the hashtag #MayTheFourth In a very over-zealous move worthy of Palpatine himself, Disney put out a tweet that seemed to imply that if you used the hashtag, they owned the copyright and were allowed to use your tweet in any marketing material they saw fi Which character is this? Kit Fisto Darth Maul Darth Maul appeared as the villain in The Phantom Menace, played by Ray Park on screen but voiced by Peter Serafinowicz. For all three lines that he had in the movie. Ki-Adi-Mundi Darth Sidious This is Unkar Plutt. What job does he have? He is a prison guard at the casino on Canto Bight He is a junk dealer and slave trader on the planet Tatooine He looks after the rancor in Jabba's palace He buys weapons and spare parts from scavengers on the planet Jakku Unkar Plutt is the dealer who purchases scavenged items from Rey early on in The Force Awakens. John Boyega stars as Finn. What was his stormtrooper designation? FN-2817 FN-2187 His designated number was FN-2187, leading to him gaining the nickname 'Finn'. FN-8718 FN-4287 Who is this, played by Gwendoline Christie? Captain Haszma Captain Plasma Captain Jazzma Captain Phasma Christie, better known perhaps for portraying Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones, plays Captain Phasma This is Forest Whitaker in Rogue One, playing a character originally introduced into the Star Wars universe in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Who is it? Baze Malbus Orson Krennic Cassian Andor Saw Gerrera Whitaker played Saw Gerrera, a rebel leader willing to use dubious methods to achieve his aims. He had rescued Rogue One's main character, Jyn Erso, when she was a child. Which member of the galactic senate is this? Lott Dod Mas Amedda Mas Amedda was the vice chair of the galactic senate, who appeared in The Phantom Menace alongside Terence Stamp in the role of Chancellor Finis Valorum. Finis Valorum Sheev Palpatine Who is this appearing via hologram in one of the movies? Obi-Wan Kenobi If you peer closely enough you can see it is a rather low resolution Obi-Wan Kenobi, as portrayed by Ewan Macgregor in Attack of the Clones. Qui-Gon Jinn Count Dooku Mace Windu Who is this alien that we first encountered in the Mos Eisley cantina? Chall Bekan Momaw Nadon Also known as Hammerhead, for obvious reasons, he was one of many alien costumes and puppets designed for the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Mos Eisley Spaceport. Greedo Cornelius Evazan This is a Lego model of which Star Wars character? Ahsoka Tano Jyn Urso Rey It's Rey, played on screen by Daisy Ridley Maz Kanata Who is this, from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope? Jakoli W. Wald Onaconda Farr Greedo It's Greedo. W. Wald was Anakin's childhood friend on Tatooine. Jakoli and Onaconda Farr are other examples of the Rodian species who have appeared in Star Wars spin-offs. And Han shot first, for sure. Which of these Star Wars movies grossed the most at the cinema box office in the US? Star Wars: A New Hope Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Star Rise: The Rise Of Skywalker Yes, despite lots of angry fans on the internet getting upset about everything to do with the Star Wars franchise these days - including this quiz probably - The Rise of Skywalker still out-performed most Star Wars movies at the box office, raking in more than $1bn worldwide Who wears a mask like this? A biker scout These helmets are worn by the imperial biker scouts on the Forest Moon of Endor in Return of the Jedi. An imperial guard A bounty hunter A snow trooper Who is this? Pote Snitkin Salacious B. Crumb According to the definitive online Star Wars resource and best named website on the internet Wookieepedia, he is "a Kowakian monkey-lizard who worked as a jester" in Jabba's palace.

R2-Q5 astromech droid 2-1B surgical droid Obi-Wan and Anakin have their fateful duel on which planet? Coruscant Mustafar Yes Mustafar was the setting. Anakin, as Lord Vader, later built a fortress on the planet, because obviously you'd love to be constantly reminded of where your mentor and teacher cut off your arms and legs Ryloth Sullust And finally "Baby Yoda" took the internet by storm. But how is the character actually credited in the series? The Child Don't worry, The Child™️, you'll always be "Baby Yoda" to us The Youngling The Mandalorian The MacGuffin You got… Absolute perfection. The force is strong with you With results like that you deserve to be fed to the Sarlacc You are a Jedi master for sure Well done, my young padawan Thank the maker, a very respectable result Very poor.
