There’s not much to go on beyond basic hero’s journey stuff, unless you consider TLJ to be part of the rise/fall/rise cycle of the Excalibur/Lightsaber story. But since Ben Solo isn’t Luke’s child it doesn’t really fit in the usual sense. There are other vague parallels but the prequels decided to go with politics instead of magic and myth. A lot lot missed opportunities all round.
