A classic example of "Ring Composition" is, funnily enough, Wagner's Ring Cycle.

You touch on one of the reason I like the prequel storyline. In my mind, it shows a potential repeating of history, or perhaps better symbolized as one choice diverting into two potential story conclusions that are both hashed out in one family lineage.

Both Anakin and Luke are affected with deep emotional trauma, and are forced to choose whether or not to embrace the resulting grief, anger, and hate to join the dark side, or to rise above, and live beyond themselves for the greater good. Anakin makes on choice, and Luke makes the other - at least, so it seems. we'll see if the new movie expands on the fallout of his decision.
