Best of 2024

With just a comic mini series and a ton of collectibles boosting Fett fandom this year, we hit 188,533 followers this year when counting our website’s memberships alongside our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, and Threads. (That’s also not counting our effort on up-and-comer platform Bluesky and we’re still test driving Mastodon and TikTok.)

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.
