Ford leads a Star Wars list where Carrie Fisher still outranks the living
iFAMOUS Editorial Desk · 1 min read
The August 2026 Star Wars table is small, British-heavy and topped by Han Solo, with the late Princess Leia holding fifth place.
Harrison Ford is the most famous person the world associates with Star Wars in August 2026, with a fame score of 18.1. Emilia Clarke, the English actress better known for Game of Thrones, is second at 15.4, and Ewan McGregor, the Scot who played Obi-Wan Kenobi across two eras of the franchise, third at 15. George Lucas, who created all of it, is fourth at 14.
Carrie Fisher, who died in 2016, is fifth at 12.2. She is the only dead name among the twenty-four people measured, and she outranks every living cast member except Ford, Clarke and McGregor, which says something about how permanently Princess Leia is attached to her. Morena Baccarin and Adam Driver follow at 11.9 and 11.8.
The rest of the list belongs to the working actors of the newer films and series. Warwick Davis, whose fantasy career began in the original trilogy, is eighth at 8.7. John Boyega is tenth, Matt Lanter, who voices Anakin Skywalker in the animated shows, eleventh, and Temuera Morrison, the New Zealand actor of Māori descent, twelfth. J. J. Abrams, who directed the sequel trilogy's bookends, is thirteenth at 6.8, and Manny Jacinto and Ivanna Sakhno, from the recent streaming series, close the group.
Twenty-four names across eleven countries is a modest table for the biggest franchise in film, and the composition is telling: the United States supplies six, the United Kingdom five, and Nigeria and New Zealand two each. The films may be American, but the faces the world attaches to them are British as often as not.

About this list
This list ranks the most famous star wars stars and creators in the world as of August 2026, by overall global fame rather than one month's attention. It is the top 24 of 24 names the rankings measured in this sector, frozen as the permanent record of that edition. This is the standard reading: everyone, living or dead, on one scale. 23 of the 24 listed are living; the Alive reading restricts the same ranking to living people.
Harrison Ford is No. 1 on this list for August 2026. Behind Harrison Ford come Emilia Clarke and Ewan McGregor.
What famous means here
Fame, in iFAMOUS, is how widely the world knows a name: how recognisable a person's name, face or work is, and how well people know who they are. It is assessed from extensive historical and current public data, some of it reaching back more than twenty years, and it is not merit, talent, importance or popularity on iFANN. The rankings model real-world global fame, not internet fame; the data is the instrument, not the subject. Activity on iFANN itself is excluded.
The month in the title is the date of this edition, not the period measured. The list is a snapshot of overall fame as it stood when the issue was frozen: a name does not lose its place because one month was quiet, and a trending moment alone does not put a name here. Trending attention is published separately on ifann.net.
How the list was ranked
The iFANN Global Fame Rankings combine worldwide Wikipedia readership across languages, worldwide news coverage and search interest anchored against stable reference names, with search history reaching back to 2004. A twelve-month baseline sits behind the current reading and short-lived surges are capped, so the list reflects durable recognition rather than one week of headlines. Rankings are computed daily on ifann.net and frozen on the second day of the following month as that month's issue; a published issue never changes.
About Star Wars
Star Wars is one of the sectors the journal ranks every month, alongside every country, origin and region list in this issue. Sector lists use the same rankings and the same scale as The 100, so a name can be compared across sectors and against the world. Star Wars: the films, shows, books, games and a galaxy of expanded canon.
