Well, hopefully the average reader gets a story. That usually isn't a biography or a dissertation on the process of creating literature in the 21st century.

They'll get the story, but I think the average reader or viewer's interpretation is rather shallow, which is why I pose the question. For example, most people that I've encountered do not see Star Wars as the pastiche that you've described, either because they lack sufficient knowledge of its influences or they just haven't made the connection.

It seems to me that analysis requires a deeper level of engagement with a text, and that to a certain extent, it goes beyond the story. I don't agree with others than the author's word should drive interpretation, but I'm not certain that what your great-niece is apt to take from a story should necessarily drive it, either.
