The force was already strong with the 'Star Wars' search term on the site, surging 2.5 times following the official trailer release on 19 October. The days leading up to and after the 18 December release, however, were remarkable as Star Wars related searches went through the roof (an acceleration only comparable to the millennium falcon’s light speed), increasing 1854 per cent above average daily search volumes.

The figures were released by Metro US which has teamed up with Porn Hub to conduct an ongoing study into America’s porn preferences. The following chart lays out the most popular related Star Wars search terms.
