Of the top “Star Wars” topics over the past 30 years, Actress Natalie Portman has the honor of being the most popular “Star Wars” related search term with web users, generating 679% more online interest than the next most popular “Star Wars” actor, Harrison Ford. However, Portman’s alter ego, Queen Padmé Amidala, did not register a blip on the radar with web users, as legendary “Star Wars” character, Oola, who met her fate at the hands of Jabba the Hutt in “Return of the Jedi,” is the most-searched character. Oola generated 479% more interest than Yoda, and 727% more interest than Darth Vader.

Looking back at the six “Star Wars” films from 1977 through 2005, “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” is the most-searched movie prequel, while the original “Star Wars” film is the most popular in the trilogy series with web users. The “Star Wars” kid is the most popular “Star Wars” fad. The Lycos 50 first reported on the “Star Wars” kid in May 2003, when a then 15-year-old teen from Quebec, known only as Ghyslain, became a pop culture icon after a goofy video featuring the teen dancing around with a light saber, surfaced on the internet. During the height of his popularity online, the “Star Wars” kid was more popular than actor Jim Carrey and the hot summer film of 2003, “Dumb and Dumberer.”

The Lycos 50 editorial team opted to omit the generic term “Star Wars” from the Top 25 “Star Wars” search list. If it were included, the term “Star Wars” would be the number one search term overall when looking at all search terms associated with the six films and subculture surrounding the films, generating 126% more online interest than Natalie Portman.
