48 free Star Wars Planets trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
The Star Wars galaxy runs from the Deep Core, where a supermassive black hole keeps the hyperspace lanes unstable, out past the Outer Rim into Wild Space and the Unknown Regions. Its planets tend to be one thing each: desert, ice, swamp, forest moon, a city 5,127 levels deep. Most of them were built out of real places, from the troglodyte hotel in Matmata and the Mayan ruins of Tikal to a glacier near Finse and a logging tract in northern California that was clear-cut as soon as the Ewoks left. This quiz covers both the lore and the locations: where the regions sit, which planet is the zero coordinate, how Tatooine got its name, why Dagobah looks like the Carboniferous, what Lucas called the capital in early drafts, which exoplanets NASA matched to which worlds, and which moon Oscar Isaac asked to be from. Expect Coruscant, Hoth, Endor, Alderaan, Geonosis, Yavin 4, Kashyyyk and a few worlds from the sequels. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer.

Q 01Canto Bight on the planet Cantonica was filmed in which real city?
Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik. The crew took over its main street for a week in March 2016 to stage the casino-city chase, in a walled Croatian port that had already played King's Landing in Game of Thrones.
Q 02Which dwarf galaxy orbiting the main Star Wars galaxy is named in Attack of the Clones?
The Rishi Maze
The Rishi Maze. Dexter Jettster uses it as a signpost when Obi-Wan asks about a planet missing from the Jedi archives: about twelve parsecs outside the Rishi Maze, he says.
Q 03Which planet, famed for its shipyards, is Han Solo's homeworld?
Corellia
Corellia. Its vast yards turned out both the Millennium Falcon's class of freighter and the Empire's Star Destroyers, and the young Han of Solo grows up an orphan there before fleeing its gangs.
Q 04What lies at the centre of the Star Wars galaxy's Deep Core?
A supermassive black hole
A supermassive black hole. The stars around it are packed so densely that the region is dangerous to navigate, so explorers largely left it alone.
Q 05Which galactic region contains Naboo?
The Mid Rim
The Mid Rim. Naboo is one of the outlying systems whose trade-route taxes are in dispute when the Trade Federation blockades and then invades it.
Q 06The wreck-strewn desert world where Rey scavenges in The Force Awakens is which planet?
Jakku
Jakku. Its wrecks are what is left of the Empire's last stand, a battle fought above the planet a year after Endor, and Rey makes her living stripping the fallen warships for parts.
Q 07Which planet sacred to the Jedi became Starkiller Base?
Ilum
Ilum. Jedi younglings once went to its ice caves to find the crystals for their first lightsabers; the First Order later made the same sacred planet into a superweapon that destroys worlds.
Q 08On which hidden Sith world does Palpatine build his fleet in The Rise of Skywalker?
Exegol
Exegol. It appears on no star chart, so the whole film becomes a race for the two Sith wayfinders that can plot a course to it.
Q 09NASA says Kepler-22b may be one vast ocean, like which Star Wars planet?
Kamino
Kamino. NASA can't yet tell whether Kepler-22b is rock, gas or water, but if it is an ocean world it would be a real match for the cloners' storm-lashed home.
Q 10In Lucas's early treatment, the story opened on the fourth moon of which planet?
Utapau
Its hero was a young warrior called Annikin Starkiller; the desert later became Aquilae, then Utapau again.
Q 11In which Tatooine city does young Anakin win the Boonta Eve podrace in The Phantom Menace?
Mos Espa
Mos Espa. Anakin is a slave there, and Qui-Gon stakes everything on the race: the winnings pay for the part his stranded ship needs, and a side bet wins the boy his freedom.
Q 12Matmata's sunken Hotel Sidi Driss played which Star Wars location?
The Lars homestead
The Lars homestead. The crew dressed the hotel's sunken courtyard as Luke's home in 1976, then came back to the same pit a quarter of a century later to film it again for Attack of the Clones.
Q 13What unlikely weather disrupted the first days of filming Tatooine's desert scenes in 1976?
A rare rainstorm
Q 21Coruscant, the Star Wars capital, shares its name with a rare English word meaning what?
Glittering
Glittering. The word comes from the Latin coruscare, to flash or glitter, and it suits a planet whose surface is one city: in the stories its lights sparkle from space like gems.
Q 22On which lava planet does Obi-Wan defeat Anakin at the end of Revenge of the Sith?
Mustafar
Mustafar. Some of its fire is real: Mount Etna erupted while the film was in production, and a camera crew was sent to Sicily to shoot the lava for the duel's backgrounds.
Q 23Which classic film's future city, with traffic streaming between skyscrapers, is thought to have partly inspired Coruscant?
Metropolis
A rare rainstorm. The crew had gone to the edge of the Sahara for a bone-dry planet and met the wettest weather the region had seen in years, on top of droids and props that kept breaking down.
Q 14Tatooine takes its name from a town in which country?
Tunisia
Tunisia. George Lucas was still rewriting his script while he scouted the desert there, and he borrowed the name of the southern town of Tataouine for Luke's home planet.
Q 15Han Solo boasts that the Millennium Falcon made the run named for which spice-mining planet in under twelve parsecs?
Kessel
Kessel. A parsec measures distance, not time, and Solo finally explained the boast: Han shortens the route with a dangerous shortcut, and Chewbacca still makes it nearer thirteen.
Q 16In whose style did John Williams write the Mos Eisley cantina band's music?
Benny Goodman
Benny Goodman. George Lucas asked for swing as aliens of a future century might play it after digging up a 1930s record, and on set the masked band mimed to Goodman's 'Sing, Sing, Sing'.
Q 17What are the names of Tatooine's two suns?
Tatoo I and Tatoo II
Tatoo I and Tatoo II. A double sunset was pure fantasy in 1977; in 2011 NASA's Kepler telescope found its first real planet circling two stars at once, Kepler-16b.
Q 18In which novel was the Star Wars capital planet first called Coruscant?
Heir to the Empire
Heir to the Empire. Timothy Zahn made the name up for his 1991 bestseller, and George Lucas adopted it for the capital while developing The Phantom Menace.
Q 19Where do city-planet Coruscant's wealthiest citizens live?
At the top
At the top. Wealth rises with altitude: the city has been built over itself until it is more than five thousand levels deep, and the lowest of them never see daylight.
Q 20Coruscant's clone-trooper nickname 'Triple Zero' refers to what?
Its map coordinates
Its map coordinates. Every chart is drawn with the capital at 0-0-0, even though the planet is not at the galaxy's true centre, and a Republic Commando novel took the nickname as its title.
Metropolis. Fritz Lang's 1927 film had already shaped Star Wars once: its robot was the model for C-3PO, long before its lanes of flying cars turned up in the skies of the capital.
Q 24Which predator drags Luke to its ice cave in The Empire Strikes Back?
The wampa
The wampa. The first draft of the script went further and had wampas attacking the Rebel base itself; in the film one lone beast ambushes Luke, who wounds it with his lightsaber to escape.
Q 25Hoth's snowfields were filmed on a glacier in which country?
Norway
Norway. The shoot near the hamlet of Finse ran into the area's worst snowstorm in fifty years, so many shots were grabbed just outside the crew's hotel, and Harrison Ford reached the set by snowplough.
Q 26The snow on the miniature battlefield for the Battle of Hoth included which kitchen staple?
Baking soda
Baking soda. Modelmakers spread it across the tabletop set, and the animators had to twist themselves around the snowfield to nudge each walker forward one frame at a time.
Q 27Cloud City, run by Lando Calrissian in The Empire Strikes Back, floats in the skies of which planet?
Bespin
Bespin. The city earns its living mining gas from the giant planet's clouds, an idea NASA has taken seriously enough to study for Uranus and Neptune.
Q 28Where does Rey find the wreck of the second Death Star in The Rise of Skywalker?
Kef Bir
Kef Bir. It is a sister moon of the forest moon of Endor, circling the same giant planet, which is why the station destroyed above one came down in the seas of the other.
Q 29The forest moon of Endor was filmed in the towering forests of which US state?
California
California. To keep fans and the press away, the crew shot in the redwoods near Crescent City under a fake title, Blue Harvest.
Q 30On which planet does Rey find Luke Skywalker in exile at the end of The Force Awakens?
Ahch-To
Ahch-To. Luke had gone looking for the first Jedi temple after his nephew destroyed his new Jedi school, and chose its lonely island as the place to hide.
