I’m embarrassed to say that I have encountered this, this particular type of story on multiple occasions… So I got curious, is there a name to this trope?

    Star Wars is fantasy, not sci-fi. (Technically it’s a space opera, it not at all about science or how that science might impact society.)

    Just because there’s technology, or it’s post apocalyptic doesn’t make it not fantasy.

    Shanara chronicles, too.

      Yep, they visit ruins in one series that is pretty clearly the ruins of Tacoma or some place like it.

      Terry Brooks happens to live in that area. Coincidence? :)
