It’s May! So of course of topic is Star Wars. This American epic space-opera started in 1977 with Episode IV: A New Hope. Since then there have been 12 movies (and a 13th announced for 2023), thousands of books, (canon and non), video games, comics, toys, and TV series.

The data we have this month is as varied as the Star Wars universe. You’ll find:

Music from the movies and TV series
Ratings and information from IMDB
Ratings and information from Rotten Tomatoes
Information on the characters, star ships, planets, species, and vehicles
Data from a survey done by FiveThirtyEight
And of course, you can BYOD!

We can’t wait to see what you all bring! The ten data files can be found on our new Data.World site. The data dictionary on the site has all the information on the data sources and columns. Once you’re done be sure to submit it to our tracker!

Here are some amazing examples from the DataFam to get your ideas flowing!
