From Star Wars to LOTR: The Creators and Craftsmanship Behind Legendary Fandoms 64% of respondents report that their choice fandom is “a defining part of their identity,” a global study commissioned by Amazon Ads and Twitch Ads reveals. For many who identify as part of a fandom, key elements like escapism and endless lore continue to captivate audiences decades after their original inception. When it comes to some of the most popular fandoms out there, however, many may not consider the craftspeople and their stories behind their greatest creations.
