This repository contains the code I used to create my blog post on the Star Wars social network.

Update: I added the 7th episode Star Wars: The Force Awakens and included more network analysis on my blog.

The folder data contains:

• characters.csv: extracted list of named characters that appeared in the screenplays.

• aliases.csv: csv file with alternative names for some of the characters

• charactersPerScene.csv: each line contains name of a character followed by the relative times when the character is mentioned in the screenplay. I used this data to generate character timelines. The values were computed as

   episode number + scene number/number of scenes in episode
  

  Values [0,1] correspond to mentions in Episode I, [1,2] to Episode II etc.

  [Note that this is not a valid csv file because each line contains a different number of columns]

The folder networks contains:

• starwars-episode-N-interactions.json contains the social network extracted from Episode N, where the links between characters are defined by the times the characters speak within the same scene.
• starwars-episode-N-mentions.json contains the social network extracted from Episode N, where the links between characters are defined by the times the characters are mentioned within the same scene.
• starwars-episode-N-interactions-allCharacters.json is the interactions network with R2-D2 and Chewbacca added in using data from mentions network.
• starwars-full-... contain the corresponding social networks for the whole set of 6 episodes.

The other files contain the code used to generate the data files and the plots.

• interactions.html and episode-interactions.html contain the D3.js code to visualize the networks.
• The rest of the code is in F# and uses FsLab
• To run the code, use paket reference manager to download all the dependencies
