The target audience for Star Wars: The Force Awakens are old and new fans of the saga who want a Star Wars film just for them after the mostly disappointing prequel trilogy. The demographic is mostly male but also female as this film has a female lead. The main age group targeted ranges form 40-54 year olds who grew up with the original films as this movie is a direct sequel to the previous six films. Children are also part of the target audience as Star Wars is mostly considered as a family picture and Disney are a very children friendly company and wouldn’t want to loose that reputation. This is also important as it creates more fans for the franchise which is very important to maintaining the continuation of the saga.. Origins and acquisitions of rights Written by George Lucas specifically for the screen. The story was based on outer space adventures of the 60s and 70s like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers.
