retired,
I meant that as George Lucas isn't the teacher/observer. George Lucas told a story that lots of people of my generation connected with in a big way(which is no small feat, of course). Its Eliezer that is acting as the teacher/observer, saying remember the situation this character was in, what if he did this instead?
If Eliezer told a similar story about a friend of his, his point would have been the same, but he would have had to work a lot harder to set the stage.
