社交网络复杂网络分析

我们中的一些人期待着圣诞节的到来，我们中的一些人期待着《星球大战》系列中的新电影《原力觉醒》。同时，我决定去看看从定量的角度全6-movie循环提取星球大战的社会网络，在每个电影和整个宇宙星球大战。在社会网络的结构揭示了原三部曲和前传之间的一些惊人的差异。

*更新：阅读我对第七集《星球大战：原力觉醒》的分析。

如果你对我如何提取数据的技术细节感兴趣，那就来看看我是如何做分析部分的。让我们从一些可视化开始。

这是所有6部电影联合起来的社交网络：

You can open the network in a full window which will show an interactive visualization of the network where you can drag individual nodes around. If you hover over the individual nodes, you'll see the name of the corresponding character.

Here the nodes represent characters in the movies. The characters are connected by a link if they both speak in the same scene. And the more the characters speak together, the thicker the link between them. The size of each node corresponds to the total number of scenes the character appears in. I made a few arguable decisions though: Anakin and Darth Vader are represented by two separate nodes, because this distinction is important to the story. On the other hand, the Emperor node also jointly represents Palpatine and Darth Sidious. I also merged Amidala with Padme.

The original trilogy (episodes IV, V and VI) on the right is mostly separated in the network from the prequel trilogy on the left because most characters appear only in one of the trilogies. The crucial nodes that are connecting the two networks are Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2-D2 and C-3PO. Especially the robots seem to play an important social function because they appear frequently across all the movies. The structures of the two sub-networks are also different. s The original trilogy has fewer important nodes (Luke, Han, Leia, Chewbacca, Darth Vader) and they are

densely interconnected between themselves. The prequel trilogy has more nodes overall, with many more connections. I'll look at individual films in more detail later in the post.

您可以在一个完整的窗口中打开网络，这将显示一个网络的交互式可视化，您可以在其中拖动单个节点。如果在单个节点上悬停，您将看到对应字符的名称。

在这里，节点代表电影中的人物。如果两个角色在同一个场景中讲话，则这些字符是通过链接连接的。字符越多，它们之间的联系就越紧密。每个节点的大小对应于角色出现的场景总数。我做了一些有争议的决定，尽管Anakin和达斯·维德是由两个独立的节点来表示，因为这种区分是重要的故事。另一方面，皇帝结还共同代表帕尔帕廷和达斯·西迪厄斯。我也将阿米达拉与Padme。

原三部曲（情节IV、V和VI）右边的是网络中的主要分离左侧的前传三部曲因为只有其中的三部曲出现最多的人物。这是连接两个网络Obi Wan Kenobi的关键节点，R2-D2和C-3PO。特别是机器人似乎发挥着重要的社会功能，因为它们经常出现在所有的电影中。两个子网络的结构也不同。少的原三部曲的重要节点（卢克，汉族，莱娅、巴卡、达斯·维德），他们彼此之间的紧密结合。前传三部曲中有更多的节点的整体，更多的连接。我将在后面的文章中更详细地看各个电影。

Character timelines

Many of the characters feature in multiple movies, so I also created a comparison of their timelines across the individual episodes. The following graphics shows where the individual characters are mentioned in the film scripts. In order of appearance, these are the timelines of some of the main characters:

许多角色在多部电影中都有特点，所以我也在各个情节中创建了他们的时间线比较。下面的图形显示电影脚本中提到的各个字符的位置。在外观上，这是一些主要人物的时间线：

Here I included all mentions of each character, which includes other characters discussing their name. It is interesting to see how Anakin appears simultaneously with Darth Vader during Episode III, and then Darth Vader takes over. Anakin again reappears towards the end of Episode VI when Darth Vader turns away from the Dark side.

The characters that appear most consistently across all the films are the same ones that are in the centre of the social network - Obi-Wan, C-3PO and R2-D2. Yoda and the Emperor also appear across all of the films but they don't talk directly with many people in the original trilogy, which moves them off the centre in the social network.

在这里，我提到了每个角色的所有提到，其中包括其他字符讨论他们的名字。很有趣的是Anakin在第三集时是如何与达斯·维德同时出现的，然后达斯·维德接手了。Anakin在第六集结束时又重新出现了，达斯·维德转身离开黑暗面。

出现最一致的所有的电影都是在社会网络的中心的Obi Wan一样的人物，C-3PO和R2-D2。
