the fact that nobody told Rian Johnson that he couldn’t have Leia spontaneously reanimate then fly through space like Superman is so interesting to me

It's been 5 loving years get over it.

People like Robert E. Howard and Jerry Siegal had at least an innate understanding of it. Yes

Not really.

Conan's stories were written out of order, Rob wrote the one where he was a King first, then wrote everything else out of order.

Jerry Siegal...the only similarity between Supes and Hero Of A Thousand Faces is that Supes is a hero.

Edit: Even the Hero's Journey doesn't really work as written. Many, many ancient Mythological stories don't fit the "structure" as written, and it is obvious that the author was just pulling poo poo out of his rear end, and got lucky when George read it. The Epic Of Gilgamesh straight up has him lose at the end. Adding to the idea that Audiences probably expected Luke to die horribly in a imperial prison!
