[Questionnaire] Please help Spike pass his dissertation!

Hey guys. I'm writing a dissertation on Star Wars Tourism, exploring the appeal of Star Wars in fans' tourism habits, going into depth on aspects of it such as visiting filming locations and costuming. Part of my methodology is a questionnaire to give out to general Star Wars fans, so I can have some fancy colourful graphs and make the thesis look pretty. Anyway, please, if you can spare a couple of minutes of your time, answer the questions I'm posting here. They're all close-ended, so all they will require will be a yes/no answer, or choosing from one of the options I present during a question.

And please, no-one add their own questions to this afterwards (I'm looking at you, Dave (Ranouch Heath )) This is very, very important to my dissertation and my degree (like, worth a third of my final year mark).
