With the latest Star Wars still breaking movie records around the globe, the global franchise is as popular as it has ever been. Accumulatively the films have pulled in excess of $6billion globally at the box office with the newest one already surpassing $1.7billion and becoming the highest grossing Star Wars film ever. That doesn't take even take in to account merchandise sales which is thought to have earned Disney around a further $3billion over this last Christmas alone. The numbers are truly jaw dropping and justifiably so. While the prequels may have proved to be somewhat of a disappointment against the illustrious backdrop of the original trilogy, it did nothing to dampen that existing legacy nor quell hysteria and excitement for when the sequels were announced. So rare is it that a group of films can grab people's imaginations so vehemently, and help define pop culture for decades after. To say that Star Wars succeeded in doing this is putting it very lightly. In the wake of the delirium which still carries on for the new film, the guys over at Fun.com have decided to take a look at some other stats which you may not be aware of; the numbers of limbs that have been lost by characters across all the Star Wars films to date. While many films depict the death and injury of their main characters, looking at how things stack up its hard to think of any others where limb loss seems such a prominent recurring theme. Take a look at the infographic below to see how the numbers stack up! The force is certainly strong at the moment, and courtesy of fun.com we are also giving a away a fantastic Star Wars bundle to one lucky reader to win. Included in the giveaway is a collection of the brand new Star Wars POP Bobble Head figures, and exclusive BB-8 messenger bag. Enter the competition by scrolling to the bottom of the page.
