# Space Villain Notebooks These Moleskine Star Wars Notebooks Feature Artwork of the Film's Bad Guys By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-10-20 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-star-wars References: [moleskine](http://www.moleskine.com/en/news/starwars) & [imgur](http://imgur.com/a/1LM6c) These Moleskine Star Wars notebooks are adorned by menacing illustrations of a Stormtrooper and Kylo Ren, the new villain introduced in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens.' The Moleskine Star Wars covers are stylized, artistic versions of the movie's imagery. The Kylo Ren cover is done in red ink on a black background, while the Stormtrooper image is in black and white. Both have an abstract quality: the linear ink strokes make the villains look like they're being reflected in the surface of a pond, or seen through a rain-covered window. This [limited edition Moleskine Star Wars collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-1) is being released in honor of the newest installment in the film saga. The notebooks come with themed stickers and a sheet of Star Wars trivia. Hard-core fans can keep their Star Wars: The Force Awakens ticket stubs in their Moleskine Star Wars notebook's signature back pocket. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Limited Edition Collectible Notebooks:** Creating limited edition notebooks featuring artwork from popular films can tap into the market of dedicated fans looking for unique memorabilia. - **Artistic Interpretations of Movie Imagery:** Designing stylized and abstract versions of movie characters and scenes can offer a fresh and visually appealing twist for merchandise and promotional items. - **Enhanced Fan Experience:** Including extras like themed stickers and trivia in merchandise can enhance the fan experience and increase the perceived value of the product. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Stationery and Giftware:** The stationery and giftware industry can capitalize on the popularity of film franchises by creating specialized merchandise like limited edition collectible notebooks. - **Film and Entertainment:** The film and entertainment industry can explore partnerships with brands like Moleskine to extend the reach and appeal of their franchises through merchandise collaborations. - **Fan Merchandise and Memorabilia:** Companies specializing in fan merchandise and memorabilia can tap into the market of dedicated fans by creating unique and artistic interpretations of movie characters and scenes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Lunar New Year-Inspired Noteboooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3-artists-3-countries.md) - [Collectible Creative Stationery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-x-blackpink.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars.md) - [Collaboration Sci-Fi Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-oreo-cookies.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Hard Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firecuda-external-hard-drives.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Collaboration Sci-Fi Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-casetify-collection.md)
