Precisely. My preferred writing style for the lede of
an article on a
"special subject" is:
"In (context) (subject) is..."
with the article going on to explain the subject not just in it's
specialised context, but with relation to the broader context it resides
in. This should be *strongly* enforced with respect to articles on
fictional subjects; otherwise, we're going to end up with ledes along
the lines of:
"In 'real life' (subject) is..."
Yep, "In the fictional universe of Star Wars, " works very well for me.
