As dedicated fans of the force know, May 4 is a unique holiday in our galaxy. Folks celebrate by donning Wookiee costumes, twisting their hair into Princess Leia buns, sipping coffee out of commemorative Sith Lord mugs, and even doing a few Star Wars porn searches if the mood strikes.
For those not in the know, Star Wars Day (aka May the 4) is a phenomenon that has picked up speed over the past 30 years to honor the alternate universe George Lucas created. The festivities often include Star Wars-themed happy hours, viewing parties, costume contests, and all kinds of deep space discounts on your fave galactic gear. From fish tanks to bathrobes to dildos to cereal, there are few things in this world that haven't been created either officially or unofficially with a Star Wars theme — and that includes hardcore porn. Lucas' fantastically popular world lightyears away has been featured extensively in the porn parody market for decades, and many Star Wars junkies choose to watch explicit entertainment as yet another way to honor all that May the 4th has to offer.
Here are five Star Wars porn stats from Star Wars Day, sourced by the PornHub Insights team:
1Star Wars Porn Searches Increase Exponentially On May 4
Every year, Lucas' franchise inspires more and more porn lovers to seek out on brand X-rated clips. 2017's May 4 saw a whopping 633 percent increase in Star Wars searches on Pornhub, compared with last year's mere 510 percent.
2Star Wars Is One Of The Most Popular Porn Parodies
On May 4 and the other 364 days of the year, Star Wars always ranks as one of the top porn parody searches on Pornhub, beating out Star Trek, Harry Potter, and Game of Thrones, amongst others.
3Folks Really Want To Watch Star Wars Lesbians
Unsurprisingly, "Star Wars lesbian" is the top search after "Star Wars" and "Star Wars porn" on May 4, increasing by a mighty 265 percent. (And in case you're wondering, I haven't found a scene starring Princess Leia and Queen Amidala — yet.)
4Star Wars Porn Parodies Have Been Made For Over 30 Years
As much as "serious" fans may dislike their sacred galaxy sullied with porn parodies, adult film producers have been making them since 1977's Star Babe. The most recent one? Star Wars Underworld: A XXX Parody. As long as Lucas keeps producing mainstream films for the franchise, porn will be following close behind.
5Star Wars Anal Is Another Popular Search
It may not be as popular as "Star Wars lesbian" or the slightly more subtle "lightsaber," but "Star Wars anal" searches increased by 191 percent on May 4.
And even if you're not a fan of Star Wars porn, this massive uptick on a made up holiday only proves just how much partwarming joy this franchise has brought to folks around the world. Long live the force!
