Ok, my sweetie had a site in his history re: techie stuff, but one of the links led to a page with these phrases:

If mythic structure can be trusted, Jar Jar is more than just the luckiest Gungan in the universe. He’s following the path of one of George Lucas’s favorite obsessions: Joseph Campbell’s "Hero’s Journey".

It'san article about Jar Jar Binks being the next Jedi Knight, but it's interesting to see the bent on folkloric background. I'm sure it's a common topic associated with the Star Wars series, but this is the first name I've recognized in all I've read so far. You can find the whole article here:

Enjoy!
