(Based on Jeff Schell's November '95 and Ray Telles's January '99 versions of the game rules. Special thanks to Jeff for his 2-column idea and Ray for his SE rules, as well as this really neat background!)

DRINK WHEN . . .

                                                                                                        
ANYONE AND EVERYONE. . .
Someone has a bad feeling about this.

It's their only hope.

Somebody gets choked. A woman other than Leia is on the screen.
An old Jedi starts to ramble about the Force. (Vader counts!!!)       Somebody's hand gets cut off.
A gigantic technological marvel explodes in a single blast.                               There is a tremor in the Force.
It's not someone's fault.                                           One or more heroes are almost eaten by a Thing.
A Jedi is much more powerful than he looks.                                              Someone exclaims "No!".
Someone does something apparently suicidal that turns out to be a good idea.
*Twice if it's not Han.
                                      Someone wears the same outfit in all three movies -- it counts if they change in the end.
Someone is mind-controlled
using the Force.
                                  People kiss.
A good guy wears white or a bad guy wears black.
* Twice if a bad guy wears white and a good guy wears black. (for uniforms, only the first person on screen counts.)
* Three times if someone hovering in-between wears gray.
Every time you find yourself talking to the people on the screen.
Some ship crashes into something after being hit.                                  An elaborately made-up alien has no lines.
                                                                An Ewok dies, and the camera lingers longer than it did when the Death Star exploded, killing billions of people (fourteen seconds, count 'em) Someone has a light saber duel.
(includes just using a light saber)
Boba Fett talks.                                                   An entire planet is described as having one climate.

C-3PO
C-3PO loses a body part.
* Twice if he is completely dismembered. 
C-3PO informs us of just how many forms of communication he's familiar with.
Nobody listens to C-3PO's advice.
* Twice if he's giving the odds of survival.

CHEWBACCA
If Chewie actually sounds like he's using words, not just one long howl.

DARTH VADER
Vader runs into one of his kids and doesn't recognize them.
* Twice if he tries to kill them.
Vader's suit gets more and more detailed in each movie.

THE EMPEROR
The Emperor cackles evilly. The Emperor has foreseen something.

THE EMPIRE
Tarkin brags about the Death Star. Any officer speaks with a British accent.
Any Imperial ship is destroyed. A TIE fighter explodes for no reason.
An imperial bureaucrat says something disparaging or elitist.
(i.e. - "rebel scum", "insignificant rebellion", etc.)

HAN SOLO
Han brags about the Millenium Falcon. Anyone insults the Millenium Falcon.
* Twice if it's Leia.
Something doesn't work on the Falcon. 
* Twice if it's the hyperdrive.
Someone or something tries to get money from Han.

LEIA
LUKE

OBI-WAN KENOBI

Obi-Wan Kenobi materializes for a guest appearance.

                            Obi-Wan Kenobi plays detective.                                                   ("...only Imperial Stormtroopers                                                                   are so precise")

R2-D2
R2-D2 gets thrashed.                                               R2-D2 plugs into the wrong socket    and his head spins around.

REBEL PILOTS
A Rebel Pilot is of a race other than white.
* Twice if they're non-human. (co-pilots count)
                                A Rebel Pilot says "Nice shot . . ."
                                  Wedge (the only Rebel Pilot competent enough to make it through all 3 movies - besides the main characters) makes an appearance.
* Twice if he speaks.
A Rebel Pilot says "I've been hit . . ."

STORMTROOPERS
Stormtroopers shoot everywhere but where they're aiming.                               Stormtrooper armor proves useless.

YODA
Yoda uses bad grammar.                                            Yoda talks like a fortune cookie.

"SPECIAL EDITION"
You can still see matte lines.                                      Scenes which are added are totally   pointless. (i.e.- "Are you sure you   can handle one of these, Luke?")
The "Special Edition" totally screws up your 'characters-in-all-three-movies' list.                                    You notice something you hadn't seen                                        in the original version (letterbox only)
Jabba's new voice blows your speakers.                                Something new which is obviously CG
                                                                  (Jabba doesn't count!)
Something old which is obviously stop-motion.
