With the majority of “The Book of Boba Fett” airing this year, we saw a lot of optimism and then reactions to the show across our site and social channels. We’ve now reached 178,000 followers this year when counting our website’s memberships alongside our Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, YouTube<\/a> and Tumblr<\/a>. (We’ve also experimented on Mastodon<\/a> and Hive Social.) Our volunteer team of superfans running BFFC continued to raise the bar and we also had our first-ever booth at a convention, which had to be Star Wars Celebration on the year of our 25th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Here’s a recap of our most popular content from January 1 to today, December 31.<\/p>\n

Facebook<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | BFFC News<\/a> | YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

If all social platforms were awesome, we could compare all things on the same metric, but unfortunately some stats we can get with ease are based on impressions\/views and others are based on likes, the latter of which of course are harder to earn. We’ve noted that alongside each data set below.<\/small><\/p>\n

Facebook<\/h3>\n

Here are our top 10 posts based on total likes (on our page which clocked 630k likes on posts) in 2022 Facebook<\/a>, where we currently have over 76k fans:<\/p>\n
