This question is poorly worded. If it means "Where was Yoda born?" or "Where was Yoda raised?" then "unknown" would be a reasonable answer. To claim that "Dagobah" is a wrong answer because the question was worded poorly is unfair.
Try this on: I was born in LA but when I was 3 years old I moved to Seattle and I've lived there since (e.g.).
Ok, but to get into all the Expanded Universe trivia, Yoda was estimated to be ~900 when he died, and lived on Degobah for d say the question is pretty good.

And no, it's not really a frustrating claim since within the Star Wars universe a parsec is really a unit of time whereas in our universe it's a unit of distance. ;)
Unless it's referring to the total distance traveled though the run. It wouldn't be won by speed in the strictest sense, but by taking the shortest route.
Probably not what they originally meant in the script, but it makes sense after the fact ;)

Arthur Charles Clarke(1917∼): 영국 SF 작가. 킹스대학에서 물리학·수학을 전공하고 1946년 단편 《태양계 최후의 날》로 데뷔하였다. 초기 작품의 특징은 풍부한 과학기술 지식을 구사해 현대과학의 발달을 가능한 한 정확히 예측, 가까운 미래를 그린 점이다. 20세기 말에 갑자기 나타난 우주선단이 지구를 지배하게 되어 인류문명이 새롭게 진화되는 과정을 그린 《지구 유년기의 종말(1953)》은 1950년대 공상과학소설을 대표하는 명작이다. 작품에는 《화성의 모래(1952)》 《해저목장(1957)》 《은하제국의 멸망(1953)》 《2001년 우주여행(1968)》 《낙원의 샘(1979)》 자서전적 수필집 《스리랑카에서 세계를 바라보며(1978)》 등이 있다.
Contrary to popular belief, Harrison Ford did not invent the automobile, he ... Star Wars Marital Aids. Rich bastards. Indie. Indiana Jones. Han Solo .
This question is a bit off because without James Earl Jones there are still 3 other people who physically played Darth Vader including Episodes 1-3. I would saying voicing is not playing.
Hooper: Always some white boy gotta invoke the holy trilogy. Bust this: those movies are about how the white man keep the brother man down, even in a galaxy far, far away. Check this sh**: You got cracker farm boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy, blond hair, blue eyes. And then you got Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian god!
Banky Edwards: What's a Nubian?
Hooper: Shut up! Now... Vader, he's a spiritual brother, y'know, down with the force and all that. Then this cracker, Skywalker, gets his hands on a light saber and the boy decides he's gonna run the whole freaking' universe; gets a whole clan of whites together. And they go and bust up Vader's hood, the Death Star. Now what do you call that?
Banky Edwards: Intergalactic civil war?
Hooper: Gentrification! They gon' drive out the black element to make the galaxy 'safe' for white folks. And Jedi's the most insulting installment! Because Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!
Banky Edwards: Well... isn't that true?
[Hooper pulls out his gun, shoots Banky]
I think that's just an idiosyncratic photo. Check out his picture on this Star Wars Wiki: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/C3PO Perhaps this refers to an Expanded Universe novel in which C3PO has an evil leg for a short period. What follows is a short plot summary of the incident: C-3PO and R2-D2 later went with a police droid named Unit Zed to Nar Shaddaa, where Jace Forno blasted off his left leg below the knee. However, the replacement leg that he got actually contained secret programming that overrode his regular personality. The "new" C-3PO led a droid rebellion against Boonda the Hutt. However, his original programming was later restored when R2-D2 replaced his "possessed" leg.
The day of the year component is awesome! You could figure it out from history itself, or from the fact that Episodes I, II, and III were also released in late May in homage to the originals. You could additionally discount the January 1977 date, because potential blockbusters would never be released then. You'd want to hit the Christmas rush, and release in late November, or early December to catch kids on their school holidays.
Knowing that it was released in 1977 is enough. We do not need to know the exact date, and the fact that three of the answers are within two months of each other makes the question even more nit-picky.
Curses.
this is kinda a trick question...
He lives on Dagobah but he's not from there. Of course it's a trick question, but isn't that quite a large part of what trivia is about?
No. Trivia is based on facts, not speculation.
Well, the fact that his origins are unknown are just as much a fact as it would be if they were known. Hence, trivia.

Where am I "from"?
You are from your mother.
