Chris Bradshaw, Marketing Director for AttractionTickets.com, said on the data: “While the population percentages may appear small, they reflect a measurable level of sustained interest, particularly during a time when Star Wars continues to expand its cultural and cinematic reach through streaming platforms like Disney+, and specifically around key cultural moments for fans like Star Wars Day.
From a pop culture perspective, the influence of the Star Wars franchise remains incredibly strong, and we can also see this through the growing popularity of the Star Wars rides at Disney parks, such as Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain at Disneyland Paris. It seems that the franchise is as popular as ever.”
