Collider Video’s Star Wars Movie Trivia Schmoedown Preview!
We know you love Star Wars. Do you also love movie trivia? If so, you will love Collider Video’s Star Wars Movie Trivia Schmoedown! Created by Kristian Harloff and Mark Ellis (both from Schmoes Know/Collider Jedi Council), the Schmoedown pits media members in the industry against one another to determine who is the ultimate champion of movie trivia! One of their divisions is dedicated solely to STAR WARS, and their upcoming match on December 8th showcases familiar faces in the Star Wars community to determine the number one contender for Star Wars Schmoedown Champion!
For those of you unfamiliar with the Movie Trivia Schmoedown, it is a movie trivia league set in the style of WWE and UFC, where competitors face off in movie trivia matches to climb the ranks in the quest to become the league champion. One of these divisions is Star Wars!

On Friday December 8th, the five-way number one contender match will be posted to the channel. The match will pit the following five familiar faces in the Star Wars community against one another until one competitor remains, and he or she will be the number one contender to compete for the Star Wars Championship at Collider’s huge Schmoedown Spectacular event on December 22nd!

Ken Napzok, Current Reigning, Undisputed, Star Wars Schmoedown Champion:
Ken Napzok, who you may know from Collider Jedi Council and his podcast Force Center with Joseph Scrimshaw and Jennifer Landa, won the Star Wars Schmoedown Championship Title at Star Wars Celebration Orlando, when he defeated four other competitors, including Sam Witwer, in a fatal fiveway match in front of a live panel audience! You can watch that match here:
Who will defeat their four competitors and stand alone as the number one contender to face Champion Ken Napzok at the Spectacular on December 22nd? Many consider Sam Witwer to be a heavy favorite, due to his immense detailed knowledge of every aspect of Star Wars, and the fact that he is a voice actor for its games and shows!
But fans should not sleep on the other competitors:
- Alex Damon showcases his knowledge weekly on his insightful and popular YouTube channel “Star Wars Explained”.
- Shayna O’Neil, a long time Star Wars fan who writes for Star Wars’ official website StarWars.com!
- Steele Saunders, comedian and host of a successful Star Wars podcast called Steele Wars.
- Joseph Scrimshaw, comedian, writer, and co-host of Force Center with the champ Ken Napzok and Jennifer Landa, and has been a panelist on Collider Jedi Council many times.

I think it’d be a huge upset if it’s anybody but Sam. My dark horse (no pun intended) is Alex. Can’t wait for the Schmoedown!!
Harloff and Ellis have created something extremely fun to watch and immensely entertaining.
