AUDIENCE STUDIES  
  Questionnaire about Star Wars. The revenge of the Sith  
Star Wars. The revenge of the Sith.

The Star Wars premiere in 1977 has been considered as a milestone in the film history. After the success of this first movie, two other came to complete the classic trilogy followed by the Phantonm Menace in 1999 and now completed by the Episode III, The revenge of the Sith. During the last decades, we have read many things about the director, the movies, the actors, the special effects, the TV series..., but we know very little about the main protagonist: the audience.
The Department of Public Communication of the University of Navarra wants to know more about the audience of Star Wars and, because of that, we have launched this questionnaire. The results we get will be use just for academic purposes and we would eventually put up here an account of what we have learned about your responses.
It is imposible to ask for the last movie without taking into account the previous ones. Because of that, we include several questions about the whole saga in the second part of the questionnaire. We thank all the participants of this project and we would be very grateful if you could pass this survey to other people who could be interested in answering the questionnarie. Thank you very much.
