The really annoying thing about Eragon is that about 90% of the characters, places, organizations, events, and anything else have a Star Wars equivalent. Eragon is clearly Luke. The Empire is, well, the Empire. Garrow represents Luke's uncle and aunt. Brom is Obi-Wan (he even dies). The Varden is the Rebel Alliance. Oromis is Yoda. The raz'zac are the stormtroopers that killed Luke's uncle and nephew. That's just the characters. If I moved onto the plot then I could type all day. Eragon is bordering on plagerism.
