Hello There!

I am a Star Wars fan who is taking an Applied Math class where I have constructed a survey that is supposed to find out where the average Star Wars fan stands on varying Star Wars related issues. Please note that I will not publicly reveal the results of said survey, and all responses will remain safely anonymous. The target demographic for this survey is Star Wars fans aged 16-49, anything outside of this range will not be counted. I now have 14 responses and I need at least 30 so we are halfway there! You will find many of THE TRUTHS WE CLING TO depend greatly on our own point of view. This is a chance to voice that Certain Point of View, so take the survey while you can.

There was no question about the EU. Shame on you.

“I know that all of you like to dream about space and are a little bit of envious of us. But you know what? We’re also envious of you. We are exploring space, but it’s only the beginning. Planets and unknown worlds are awaiting you. You will continue to storm the Universe.”

In your opinion, was Star Wars better off under George Lucas or Disney?

Hard to come up with an answer to this one

Your survey is using a highly biased population sample (i.e. people who took the time to make an account on OriginalTrilogy.com) and therefore the responses do not represent the “average Star Wars fan”. The people here (including myself) represent a distinct cohort of Star Wars fans with opinions that skew towards rejection of OT revisionism, dislike of the Prequels and Special Editions, and distrust of George Lucas as a creator. The responses you get will reflect the average opinions of this particular cohort of fans, not the average Star Wars fan.

I suspect the average Star Wars fan has very different opinions about Star Wars than the average member of this forum. I also suspect the average or median age of the people that participate in this forum is a bit higher than the average age within the “general population” of Star Wars fans. In fact, an old-school Internet forum like this (as opposed to a modern social media platform) most likely selects for relatively older people.
