True, the focus on the actors made it bland, not quite fitting for Star Wars day. Any other time it would have been a good quiz.

Star Wars Actors & Numbers but certainly not Star Wars Quiz.
Two examples from effort wasted on notes for it (showing that actual in-depth SW questions could've easily been made for these hints):
9 : Hello there
Obi-Wan says this to R2D2 when Luke is unconscious after being attacked by the sand people, Stars Wars Episode VI: A New Hope (Obi-Wan's first words in the Star Wars franchise!)
General Grievous says this after jumping towards Obi-Wan surrounded by several droidekas, The Clone Wars S1 E5 (canonically: first use!)
Obi-Wan says this after jumping into a group of enemies including General Grievous, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (as reference to the event 3 years earlier in Clone Wars; Obi-Wan then apparently keeps using it throughout his life)
10 : This is a rebellion, isnt it? I rebel.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (or simply Rogue One) is a 2016 American epic space opera film directed by Gareth Edwards.
Release date: December 15, 2016
Jyn Erso (played by Felicity Jones); the phrase is heard only in a teaser trailer (April 2016) along with many other scenes not seen in the final movie

And all I wrote down, in pure ignorance, was
Luck should have it that I got the question right anyway; chose one with 1 second left on the clock, for a 10/10 ^^TTRM's notes said:
Yeah, spent a lot of time verifying the validity of this quote.
Other than that, I'm just glad I had the foresight to note down the names of the characters, the actors who portrayed them, and the year of each movie each individual character relevant to each hint was in.TTRM's notes said:
Suffice to say, it paid off ^^
Seriously.... I had nothing on H9
I assumed C-3PO.... Really feels like something he'd say on occasion: "Hello, there. My name is... C-3PO"

Me, realizing there is a quiz today, 15 minutes before it starts:
Only losing 140 points, two wrong answers, is a success!

Good effort.
Yeah, a Monday-quiz is quite out of the ordinary, but.... "May the 4th" be with you.

I think this quiz was alright. Considering the theme was simply "Star Wars" and not anything more specific it's not surprising that questions and hints didn't go into more difficult details.
Besides I find it hard to come up with in-depth yet reasonably searchable hints and questions. After all SW canon is a contradictory mess and the quiz is aimed at general audience rather than die-hard SW fans.

How did you manage to dodge all the "Hello there" memes? The Internet is truly big, I guess.

Oh, I can assure you, that was quite easy. I just..... didn't google the phrase. ;p
Went against my own research rules a bit, due to (as mentioned) assuming it was C-3PO....
I mean... it's not exactly "Hello there", but it's close.
And if I am to be completely honest, I didn't expect googling "Star Wars Hello There" to get me anything tangible.

Oh, I didn't mean dodge it while googling, it's just that I keep seeing this meme on the web. But like I said, the internet is big, so it's actually not that surprising.
And speaking of googling
It's even worse than that:

If everyone was to be aware of every meme at all times.... There'd hardly be time and room for other activities in life.
Honesty, once more: I did google it after posting my last post, but I didn't exactly notice those 3 videos on the bottom of your screenshot.
Then again... My layout is a bit different:
They are there, but I would've had to scroll down to see them.
What I did notice was that there was immediate relevance to the quote, by the main eyecatcher of the search results.
Either way, I'm content with having managed to hit the correct answer on a 25% chance ^^
Also....
Would take a lot of time sifting through all of thosesearch results ;p
(In hindsight, I do notice the difference in our search query, but with the post being in the state it currently is in, I can't be bothered rewriting the whole thing, so..... Aware of it I am, but matters it does not...)

You do realize not all of us out here are fans of the series? A StarWars trivia quiz like some proposed would've been a fail for 90% of us.... this is a game for people enjoying this page and vid games, who want to get a few cents... not a page with awesome prizes for people who know stuff, noone else does...
I get, that a quiz like that would have been more fun for quite a few people... but that group of people is not the main audience of this page... (and I'm not trying to offend anyone here)

You seem to misunderstand me, I wasn't talking about the difficulty of the quiz, but the questions. It was Star Wars day yesterday, so it would have been more fun if the questions would have focused on Star Wars rather then the actors. For example, the 1st questions could have been something like "Lukes first jedi master.", the hint would have still been ok, but the question would have been about Star Wars and not the actors.

I disagree. Monetary rewards annihilated that idea aeons ago.
The most awesomest prize is a perfect season when you have beaten yourself, Google to the death, the Quizmaster silly (probably literally), and every last bug-disguised quiz-goblin lurking under proverbial bridges
One day, one day soon(ish)...

Doesn't mean one can't enjoy a well created setup though.
