50 free Star Wars: the Old Republic trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Star Wars: The Old Republic launched in December 2011 as one of the most ambitious online role-playing games ever attempted: eight class stories, each with its own companions, starship and moral choices, set thousands of years before the films. More than a decade and many expansions later, players still log in to finish a story or start a new character. This quiz covers the game the way its players know it: the classes and their tank, healer and damage roles, the playable species, the companions and villains, the planets from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim, group content and crew skills, the expansions and their cinematic trailers, and the business story behind it all. It is written for SWTOR veterans, Knights of the Old Republic fans and Star Wars followers who know their Sith Lords from their Jedi Masters. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so even a wrong guess teaches you something about the galaxy long before the films.
