A translation ("Explanation") of a scene all too "common" in our modern-day culture:
| Figure | Non-Expert | Expert |
|---|---|---|
1
|
Harrison Ford
|
Han Solo with blaster gun preparing to engage enemies
|
2
|
Carrie Fisher
|
Princess Leia showing a look of concern regarding the improbability of escaping from an imperial star base |
3
|
Mark Hamill
| Luke Skywalker attempting to protect and rescue Princess Leia from stormtroopers (not depicted but clearly present). This scene has been condensed and does not show a wookie or stormtroopers that clearly belong in this scene. |
Which translation/explanation is correct? Which one is wrong?
While this satirical "translation" oversimplifies things when it comes to the facsimiles, it does illustrate the false dilemma presented in juxtaposing Joseph Smith's translation against the (generic appellation of) Egyptologists. My point here is that the Joseph Smith vs. Egyptologists comparison is a problematic oversimplification.
