# Sci-Fi Fandom Towels These Star Wars Products Keep Super Fans Out of the Sand in Style By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-11-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-products References: [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/iojj/) These dramatic beach towels are just the latest installment in a huge range of [Star Wars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-x-star-wars) products inspired by the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens film. Previous versions of Star Wars beach towels have featured cartoon versions of the characters and graphic representations of the series' robots. These Star Wars products take a different approach, instead displaying beautifully illustrated replicas of the Star Wars series' iconic scenes and posters. The Star Wars beach towels come in three designs. One features the [movie poster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan) from The Empire Strikes Back, another shows an imposing Stormtrooper surrounded by a fiery battle scene and the final towel depicts starships engaged in combat on the edges of a distant planet in a galaxy far, far away. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sci-fi Fandom Towels:** These dramatic beach towels feature beautifully illustrated replicas of iconic scenes and provide an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the beach accessories industry. - **Star Wars Products:** The range of Star Wars products inspired by the upcoming film offers various merchandise opportunities for disruptive innovation within the pop culture merchandise industry. - **Illustrated Replicas:** The use of beautifully illustrated replicas of iconic scenes presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the art and poster industry. ### Where This Applies - **Beach Accessories:** The dramatic beach towels provide a chance for disruptive innovation in the beach accessories industry. - **Pop Culture Merchandise:** The Star Wars products offer opportunities for disruptive innovation in the pop culture merchandise industry. - **Art and Poster:** The use of illustrated replicas of iconic scenes creates potential for disruptive innovation in the art and poster industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Sci-Fi Bath Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-bath-soap.md) - [Sci-Fi Show Drinking Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-x-star-wars.md) - [Winter-Ready Sci-Fi Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-columbia-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Desktop Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-orbitkey-desk-mat.md) - [Sci-Fi Gaming Chair Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secretlab-star-wars.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars.md) - [Sci-Fi Fragrance Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-collection-star-wars.md)
