[Star Wars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2): The Force Awakes (Episode VII) was filmed in the Scottish Highlands because of the natural beauty that they boast and how they could be shot to resemble a mountainous planet somewhere in the galaxy. As such, the SkyeWalker Hostel was created in lieu of this and features ample [sci-fi themes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport) for guests to enjoy. The hostel features a garden area complete with [Jedi Huts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightsaber-lego), while the Solardome offers beautiful views of the Northern Lights and Milky Way at night. The hostel offers beautiful accommodations and impressive themes that will be appreciated by sci-fi enthusiasts and travelers alike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sci-fi Themed Accommodations:** Creating unique and immersive themed accommodations inspired by popular sci-fi franchises like Star Wars. - **Natural Surroundings as Film Locations:** Choosing picturesque natural locations for film production that can later be transformed into themed accommodations. - **Geek Tourism:** Appealing to travelers with a passion for sci-fi and fantasy by offering themed accommodations and experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can capitalize on the growing demand for unique and immersive themed accommodations. - **Film Production:** Film production companies can consider transforming natural filming locations into themed accommodations to generate additional revenue. - **Tourism:** The tourism industry can cater to geek travelers by offering specialized experiences and accommodations inspired by popular sci-fi franchises. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Galactic Cafe Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Star-wars-themed-cafe.md) - [Whimsical Theater-Driven Stays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elphabas-retreat-airbnb.md) - [Hotel Sci-Fi Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novotel.md) - [Desert Planet Sci-Fi Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sands-of-tatooine-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Fragrance Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-collection-star-wars.md) - [Filmic Swamp Accommodations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stay-at-shreks-swamp.md) - [Fantasy Book Vacation Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-winginspired.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired Rented Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swamp-airbnb.md) - [Exclusive Sci-Fi Scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-fragrances.md)
