This article [https://theconversation.com/star-wars-is-a-religion-that-primes-us-for-war-and-violence-89443 Star Wars is a Religion that Primes us all for War], by Mike Sosteric provides a journalistic critique of the Star Wars franchise as a modern vehicle for the transmission of ancient religious ideology, specifically the Sasanian node structure. Although not canonical to the Lightning Path, this piece is a useful example of applied LP theory in popular cultural analysis. It contextualizes mythological narratives like Star Wars as tools of social and ideological conditioning, consistent with [[Avatar.GLOBAL]] frameworks and Lightning Path assertions on ideological control.

== Overview ==

In this popular article, Sosteric argues that *Star Wars* functions not simply as entertainment but as a **religion-like** narrative structure infused with archetypes and ideological nodes derived from **Zoroastrian** and **Sasanian religious mythology**. The author draws parallels between the “light vs dark” motifs in Star Wars and similar dualistic cosmologies in ancient priestly traditions.

The piece critiques the ideological utility of such stories for elite power structures, suggesting they are used to condition populations into obedience, moral dualism, and ultimately, violence. Sosteric warns that the continued propagation of such narratives may have catastrophic consequences in the age of advanced weaponized technologies and ecological collapse.
