However, I expected Yoda to outperform Han Solo, and he did not. The results from WorldCat Identities were very close to a Google Trends analysis I did for the month before and after the launch of Episode VII in December 2015.<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/ssl.gstatic.com\/trends_nrtr\/981_RC01\/embed_loader.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\ntrends.embed.renderExploreWidget(\"TIMESERIES\", {\"comparisonItem\":[{\"keyword\":\"\\\"luke skywalker\\\"\",\"geo\":\"\",\"time\":\"2015-12-01 2016-01-01\"},{\"keyword\":\"\\\"darth vader\\\"\",\"geo\":\"\",\"time\":\"2015-12-01 2016-01-01\"},{\"keyword\":\"obiwan\",\"geo\":\"\",\"time\":\"2015-12-01 2016-01-01\"},{\"keyword\":\"\\\"princess leia\\\"\",\"geo\":\"\",\"time\":\"2015-12-01 2016-01-01\"},{\"keyword\":\"han solo\",\"geo\":\"\",\"time\":\"2015-12-01 2016-01-01\"}],\"category\":0,\"property\":\"\"}, {\"exploreQuery\":\"date=2015-12-01%202016-01-01&#038;q=%22luke%20skywalker%22,%22darth%20vader%22,obiwan,%22princess%20leia%22,han%20solo\",\"guestPath\":\"https:\/\/trends.google.com:443\/trends\/embed\/\"});\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<p>I think it is especially interesting how attention in Han Solo spiked during opening weekend.

The kicker may be the animated series, which lasted six seasons\u2014a much heftier set of content than even a couple trilogies.<\/p>\n<p>So, the secret to Obi-Wan\u2019s 4th-fullness in libraries is simple: volume.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Star Wars Day and May the 4th be with you!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Luke Skywalker (299 \/ 460 \/ 22,576)\u00a0?
