Star Wars and Ismailis

WOW!!!!! A new record in delusional thinking. I love how you've generalized the most common tropes to mean that the author "has taken so much from Ismaili history". They wore robes and had swords, the number seven appears, they greet each other, there is a library and teacher. Do you people hear yourselves?

It is offensive to the author, the work and its influences for you to try to appropriate it this way. Star Wars being a gigantic franchise, the influences are well documented. Lucas has said he is indebted to Akira Kurosawa particularly a movie called The Hidden Fortress (hey look ninjas wear robes and carry swords and carry out missions) , Flash Gordon, Joseph Campbells' Hero with a Thousand Faces and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Stop trying to graft your cult doctrines into

BTW u/bigtreeworld : The fact that your "profound" religious doctrines can be easily confused with those of a manufactured new-age religion is a sign that anyone can and did make this shit up. Play the same game with Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson quotes vs the Aga Khan and you'll see how much of fraudster Karim really is.
