[Matt]

Given an array of characters which form a sentence of words, give an
efficient algorithm to reverse the order of the words (not characters)
in it.

Matt,
You really are posting a series of classic interview/quizz questions
in comp.lang.c* groups. Some kind of homework ?

For this problem, a classic approach is to reverse the whole sentence,
then reverse the characters of each word. This has the advantage of
being easy to apply in-place.
Cheers,

It may come as a surprise to many, but I've only seen
the first Star Wars movie, but none of the sequels.
Did this character speak backwards?

Not necessarily backwards, but many of his phrasing is reordered
to make him seem more alien.
