Looks like Star Wars fans are easier to infiltrate than Supreme Leader Snoke's ship! The data was collected by password managing software manufacturer SplashData, whose products include SplashID and TeamsID.

"Hackers are using common terms from pop culture and sports to break into accounts online," SplashData's CEO Morgan Slain said, "because they know many people are using those easy-to-remember words."

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is now playing in theaters.
