What exactly is going on in the background of the Death Star there? Are those windows? People working late night office jobs? Are those just a bunch of lit panels going beep-boop? Is there some technician who glances up at them occasionally and goes "Ah, shit. The samouflange (what the fuck is a samouflange?) is out on the megacondenser! Rob, could you please run a parse on panel A5D and get that boy blinky again?" and Rob is like, "You're right, Michael. I hardly noticed."

EDIT: Apparently it's Cloud City. I recall this now. I'm honestly shocked that everyone has been so civil about this.

It's inside a ventilation shaft in Cloud City. Maybe people have houses that look out into the ventilation shaft, because it's at least better than no windows at all?

To me, it looks like panel lights on a computer / machine. But, why have those indicator lights in a ventilation shaft where you only rarely have people?
