# Star Wars Disney Characters The Phantom Mickey By Cowbag | Published 2008-08-20 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-phantom-mickey-disney-goes-star-wars References: [gearfuse](http://www.gearfuse.com/mickey-mouse-returns-as-a-jedi/) Star Wars geeks seem not to be too picky with what they add sci-fi qualities to. They're even geeked up Mickey Mouse. To be honest, *[Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptoys-1) does Star Wars* should come as no surprise. And this comes from someone who is not a nerdy George Lucas fan. Disney and [Lucas Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Star-wars-themed-cafe) have worked together to create these figurines which cost $200 each and are a fusion of Disney and [Star Wars characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tamagotchi). I deliver you the following joyous characters: Mickey Mouse as Luke (no brainer) Minnie Mouse as Queen Amidala Donald Duck as Darth Maul Goofy as a confused Jar Jar Binks But alas, where is Darth Vader? He rules, and if I had to cosy up with one Star Wars character, then he would be it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Leaders](https://www.trendhunter.com/leaders) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Disney-star Wars Collaboration:** Opportunity for brands to collaborate and create unique merchandise by combining iconic characters from different franchises. - **Sci-fi Mashup Collectibles:** Growing demand for collectibles that blend sci-fi elements with familiar characters, opening up new markets for niche merchandise. - **Nostalgic Crossovers:** Rising trend of merging beloved characters from different eras to evoke nostalgia and appeal to a broader fan base. ### Where This Applies - **Merchandise and Collectibles:** New opportunities for companies in the merchandise and collectibles industry to innovate and create unique crossover products for fans. - **Entertainment and Media:** Disruptive innovation potential for entertainment and media companies to explore creative collaborations and expand their franchises by merging iconic characters. - **Fan-based Communities:** Growth opportunities for online platforms and communities centered around fan culture, providing spaces for fans to connect and discuss their favorite franchises and crossover merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [NFT-Enabled Cartoon Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptoys-1.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Miniature Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-of-boba-fett-1.md) - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Character Clog Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-characters-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-2.md) - [Collectible Sci-Fi Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-coins.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Sci-Fi Gaming Mice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/millennium-falcon-edition.md)
