There are plenty of stories that predate STAR WARS that have a main character captured and then interrogated/tortured by the main bad guy in his lair.

True, but no other story besides TFA and ANH itself shares the same settings and plot points here.

Setting yes but the plot points not so much. The things in which they are being interrogated for warrant being different warrants a different plot point entirely.

Was it borrowed? Yep, and you said it yourself. So if you say this is borrowing, than Rey/Leia’s capture is borrowing as well.

Sure but it doesn’t borrow much at all

They were both interrogated on the hidden data that drive the main plot, it’s the same plot point. Is it actually slightly different? Yes, and so it was for example Anakin’s defeat in AOTC from Luke’s defeat in TESB, but nevertheless it borrowed from a previous SW movie.

The location of the Rebel base isn’t the main thing driving the plot in SW; that would be the stolen Death Star plans. The map for Luke is the main thing driving the plot in TFA.
