Star Wars-related searches see huge spikes over the days preceding and following May 4th every year. These are the spikes for the last three years:

• 2016: 633 percent spike

• 2017: 1048 percent spike

• 2018: 748 percent spike

As Darth Vader would say, most impressive.

Topping the Star Wars-related search list is Princess Leia, who famously donned a gold bikini as a captive of Jabba the Hutt for the first third of 1983's Return of the Jedi. This is also why the unfortunately phrased "Princess Leia Slave" is in the top 10.

Other popular searches include the new trilogy lead Rey, Clone Warsfavorite Ahsoka Tano, and Padme Amidala, portrayed by Natalie Portman in the prequel trilogy. If you're looking for a male character on this list, you have to go number 20 where a presumably shirtless Kylo Ren pops up.

Taking these searches into account, it's not exactly shocking that men are 38 percent more likely to search for Star Wars than women. Also unsurprising is that users in the 18-to-24 age demographic are 77 percent more likely to search for Star Wars content.

Finally, it's worth mentioning what's notlisted in all of these stats. Conspicuous in their absence are both the Ewoks and Jar Jar Binks -- proving that, even in porn, there's room for the Star Wars universe to expand.
