I think really it's because of both of them were once heroes. Scar was once the leader of The Lion Guard and Anakin was a Jedi Knight and a General during the Clone Wars.

Not to mention they both have young adults wanting to finish what they started and ended up changing their minds, Kovu was Scar's chosen heir and it was his initial destiny to kill Simba over the course of the film he came to realize just what an awful person Scar was. Kylo Ren is Anakin/Vader's grandson and after being tempted by the dark side and corrupted by Snoke wanted to become a brand new Vader. it wasn't until after Snoke had dismissed him as "A child in a mask" decided that he wanted to step out of Vader's shadow and become his own person. (the only real difference being that Kiara's love ultimately reformed Kovu and while Rey could have had Kylo redeemed. after Snoke's death he had basically completed his dark side training)
