John Boyega, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher and Daisy Ridley may feature in Star Wars: The Force Awakens – but they do not appear to know much about the plot.

The actors had their knowledge of the sci-fi franchise put to the test in a galactic trivia battle against one young fan on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Seven-year-old Arden Hayes – who was dubbed the dark lord of trivia by the chat show host – was joined by R2-D2 as he took on the cast in a quiz over looked by quiz master J.J. Abrams.

Questions included ‘Who was Red Leader during the Battle of Endor?’ and ‘Where did uncle Owen tell Luke to take the droids into to have their memory erased?’

The question ‘In what detention block was one Princess Leia being held?’ saw Fisher joke she was “unconscious” at the time while Boyega said “I wasn’t born”.

After a very one sided quiz Arden won with a score of 60, to the casts unimpressive zero.

The late night show was dedicated to the release of the seventh film in the franchise, and saw Abrams reveal the first word in the film – ‘this’.

It also saw Harrison Ford’s character Han Solo reconciled with Chewbaca thanks to Adele’s single Hello and saw members of the public tricked into thinking Kylo Ren is the new leader of North Korea during the Lie Witness News segment.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is set for UK cinema release on December 17.
