If I Worked in the Star Wars Universe

As a fan of the Star Wars film franchise, it’s sometimes fun to day dream about what kind of role I would play in the fight between the light and dark side of the force. Would I be a Jedi Knight? A Storm Trooper? Or maybe a rouge Bounty Hunter? This, of course, is a fantasy, so I can dream big — but if I was being real with myself, I would probably be doing similar work that I’m doing now — visualizing data.

So with that in mind, and because May the 4th is around the corner, I thought it would be fun to live out that fantasy. Below is an example of the type of work I might be doing if Jedi and Sith Lords existed — visualizing Starship data for an arms dealer.
