It's a battle of intergalactic proportions when a young 'Star Wars' genius goes up against the cast of 'The Force Awakens!'
In a special 'Star Wars' episode of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', the host decided to have a trivia contest between seven-year-old Arden Hayes and Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver and Carrie Fisher. The contest, appropriately titled 'Ard-Wars,' featured 'The Force Awakens' director J.J. Abrams as quizmaster and judge.
Early on, it was clear that Jimmy Kimmel was on Arden's side as the young genius was given a Darth Vader entrance complete with two Stormtroopers. When asked whether his opponents should be nervous, the boy casually responded, "Yeah, maybe." Arden was also provided with a brilliant teammate, an actual R2-D2.
As the questions came in, it became obvious that the cast of 'The Force Awakens' were no match to Arden Hayes, who easily gave his answers. He did get one answer wrong (he responded "Tosche Station" to "Where did Uncle Owen tell Luke to bring the droids to have their memory erased;" the correct answer was "Anchorhead."), but the rest were fairly easy for the seven-year-old. He even stole several questions from his opponents, who Jimmy Kimmel asked, "Have any of you seen 'Star Wars?'"
The cast of 'The Force Awakens' tried to answer as many questions as they can, although they were clearly unprepared to go up against what could be the next Yoda or Darth Sidious. In the end, Arden Hayes won with a massive 60-point lead (each question was worth 10 points) against his opponent's zero points.
Arden's efforts were properly rewarded, when Jimmy Kimmel announced that he will be getting an entire wheelbarrow of 'Star Wars' goodies including a Stormtrooper signed by the cast and J.J. Abrams. As a bonus, Jimmy told Arden he can also bring home R2-D2 and Guillermo, who carted the wheelbarrow in.
'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' will hit theaters on December 18.
