Narrative structure and Star Wars silliness

Liming structured his presentation yesterday around a narrative structure (Freytag's analysis - exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution). Another story template we discussed over lunch was the "Monomyth".

Of course the Monomyth lead into a discussion of Star Wars, and I mentioned some funny videos I saw yesterday via Digg. The ones I recommend are "George Lucas in Love", and the silly but funny "Darth Vader being a smartass".
