I just noticed that Eragon has an odd similarity to Star Wars.

        I just noticed that the plot is much the same. Both Luke Skywalker and Eragon grow up in an Evil Empire. Both get lead to rebels by an old man. Both get taught by and Elder.

For Luke Skywalker the Old man is Obi Wan Kenobi. While for Eragon it’s Brom

The elder for Luke Skywalker is Yoda while for Eragon it’s Oromis.

Eragon = Luke Skywalker

 

Murtagh = Darth Vader

Galbatorix = The Emperor

Brom =Obi Wan Kenobi

Oromis = Yoda

Roran = Han Solo

Katrina = Princess Leia

Varden = Rebels

There are much similarites however Paolini didn’t rip off Star War’s completely.

    Lol i realized that so long ago, and nobody believed me. About 95% of Eragon is direct plagiarism from Star Wars

    Star Wars was based on this topic called the archetypical hero steep by step and so did Inheritance so they both copied from Joseph Campbell.
