Discussion is a more fun and deeper way to explore ideas than google. Google doesn't make a great encyclopaedia. That aside, I appreciate the time you are spending on elaborating on the details.

Fair enough. I also didn't know the etymology of the word. When you asked, I looked it up to find out myself.

I've been watching through Star Wars for my birthday. I'm on episode V. Is the way Han interacts with Leia gas lighting?

Happy birthday!
I'm no expert, but my simplistic understanding of the concept boils down to causing people to doubt their reality through the repetition of some falsehood. Like that old saying, repeat a lie enough times and it becomes truth...or however that goes.
As for Star Wars episode V, it's actually been several years since I've seen it, so I'm not entirely sure which interactions you're referring to.
