Alright, we'll keep with the Star Wars:

Who is the only non Jedi in the original Star Wars trilogy to use a lightsaber?

Well, it could be argued that Darth Vader isn't a Jedi, but a sith.

Other than that, I'd have to say Han Solo, when he cut open the Tauntaun.

Thats probably the right answer but It could be also argued that luke used it before he became a jedi.

I'm pretty sure that Han's the only non-Force user to use the saber, so I'll post my question:

Question: In what television show would you find creatures called Sleestaks?

It was Hans Solo, and as for your question,... yeah anyway.

Question: What mercenary company in the Battletech Universe is the one by which all others are judged?

Wolf's Dragoons, or maybe the Gray Death Legion?

Wolf's Dragoons is correct. Bonus points if you can tell me the Dragoon Rating for the Gray Death Legion.

Your go.

Alas, I kinnae do it lad. I did mightily enjoy the novels about the Legion though, and I do occasionally break out my 'mechs for some tabletop carnage.

Next Question: In the First Edition AD&D manual Deities & Demigods, there was a change made between the first printing and all later printings. Two of the pantheons were removed (I'm assuming that it was due to copyrights) and can only be found in the first-run editions. What two pantheons are they?

vtmarik · Post by **vtmarik** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 10:56 pm

The Cthulhu pantheon was removed due to copyright.

Not sure about what the other one was... If I wiki it I could find out.

UselessTriviaMan · Post by **UselessTriviaMan** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 8:22 am

Correct, vtmarik. The other pantheon was based around one of the Eternal Champions (if you've read 'em, you'll get the reference).

UselessTriviaMan · Post by **UselessTriviaMan** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 8:28 am

I guess I'd better let vtmarik take it for being half correct. The other 'missing' section was the Melnibonean pantheon, based on the Elric saga by Michael Moorcock. Stormbringer was/is one terrifying artifact...

Yay! I'm partially not a loser!

Question: What was the first Super Sentai series? Bonus points if you know the name of the Sentai series that became the first iteration of Power Rangers.

vtmarik · Post by **vtmarik** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 7:28 pm

Alright, someone else take a turn.

The answer was Himitsu Sentai Goranger.
The answer to the bonus question is Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger
