This describes the Bardo Thodol as the book of the dead which is just a bad translation, but otherwise it does a good job of relating the concepts to western societies: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10...
Brilliant article written for Vice, captures exactly the issue with Phantom: https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/43...
This weird listicle from what feels like the dark ages of the internet is really really interesting in an archaeological sort of way (I mean all the pages are .php, there’s no indexing). The reasons are not just wrong, a lot of them are the childish, needy “I hated the Last Jedi because it’s not my Star Wars” kind of entitlement. Still, interesting: http://www.chefelf.com/starwars/ep1.php
This is well written and rounded, explaining why the phantom menace deserves a little respect: http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/star-...

I didn’t read the whole book but it formed my understanding of how and why the Christ narrative was formed (page 190 to 220 is the bulk of that conclusion): https://books.google.com.au/books?id=...
One of the more reliable and understandable write-ups on Star Wars v Buddhism: http://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/rep...
I read this book a long time ago for a video I never ended up making, but if you’re looking for a delightful read that delves into how Buddhism has changed western literature you should read this (the Donnie Darko Chapter, chapter 8, explores Bardo)`: https://books.google.com.au/books?id=...
Really well executed write up on viewing Revenge as a film, not part of a franchise: https://io9.gizmodo.com/sure-revenge-...
