Ultimate Skywalker quiz
If you head over to the Wookieepedia, test your Star Wars knowledge with the Ultimate Skywalker Quiz.
I did pretty well – on my first try I got 31 out of 40 answers correct. But I knew I could do better – so I went back and scored 36 out of 40. Phew!

Fandom has analyzed data from its 40 million pages of content to determine what Americans like when it comes to Star Wars.
