In other news , a bear crap in the woods and the Pope is Catholic .
Okay , that ’s a morsel dismissive of a sightly amount of actual data psychoanalysis . McGill University computer science professor Derek Ruths mapped the similarities between the two movies by figuring out how many scenes each character had and how often they interacted with each other .
As reported byWired , the final result were that the character reference mathematical group and roles are nigh identical — droids , greyback , military group users , etc . Weirdly , though , an algorithmic rule looking at who interact with whom match Kylo Ren to Obi - Wan Kenobi and Rey to , of all the great unwashed , Darth Vader .
“ The mapping is n’t looking at attributes , it ’s looking at who interacts with who , ” Ruths toldWired , “ so we get a dissimilar retelling of that news report . ”
The numbers tell us one thing , while our inherent aptitude about the qualities of the mass involved tell us that Rey is patently more Luke than Vader .
So , on the one hired man , the datum enjoin us something we all already knew : The Force Awakens is very similar to A New Hope . On the other hand , it also separate us something we might refuse : that the case matches are unlike than we think . The query then is whether the themes and characterizations are more true than the numbers .
