star_wars — Star Wars character networks (1977-2015)

Description

Networks of the characters of the first seven Star Wars films (Episodes I to VII, released from 1977 to 2015), extracted by Evelina Gabasova from the film screenplays available in the Internet Movie Script Database (IMSDb). The screenplays (drafts that sometimes differ from the final films) were split into scenes at their "INT." and "EXT." scene headers, and the names of the characters were identified in each scene, using a manually compiled list of aliases to merge different names of the same character (e.g. Palpatine, Darth Sidious and the Emperor are a single node, as are Amidala and Padmé; Anakin and Darth Vader are, however, kept as separate nodes). Nodes are characters, and an edge connects two characters that occur together in at least one scene, weighted by the number of such scenes. The networks are undirected.

There are four kinds of networks, for each episode (episode1 to episode7) and for all the episodes together (full):

  • *_interactions: two characters are connected if they both speak in the same scene.
  • *_interactions_all: as interactions, with R2-D2 and Chewbacca (who do not have spoken lines in the screenplays) added using the data of the mentions network.
  • *_mentions: two characters are connected if they are both mentioned (by name) in the same scene.
  • full_interactions_all_merged: as full_interactions_all, with Anakin and Darth Vader merged into a single node ("DARTH VADER").

The networks have the following properties:

  • Nodes: name, the name of the character; scenes, the number of scenes in which the character appears (speaks or is mentioned, according to the network type); colour, the colour of the node in the author's visualizations (main characters have distinct colours, all others are grey).
  • Edges: weight, the number of scenes in which both characters appear.
