Best of 2022

With the majority of “The Book of Boba Fett” airing this year, we saw a lot of optimism and then reactions to the show across our site and social channels. We’ve now reached 178,000 followers this year when counting our website’s memberships alongside our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Tumblr. (We’ve also experimented on Mastodon and Hive Social.) Our volunteer team of superfans running BFFC continued to raise the bar and we also had our first-ever booth at a convention, which had to be Star Wars Celebration on the year of our 25th anniversary.

Here’s a recap of our most popular content from January 1 to today, December 31.

If all social platforms were awesome, we could compare all things on the same metric, but unfortunately some stats we can get with ease are based on impressions/views and others are based on likes, the latter of which of course are harder to earn. We’ve noted that alongside each data set below.

Facebook

Here are our top 10 posts based on total likes (on our page which clocked 630k likes on posts) in 2022 Facebook, where we currently have over 76k fans:
