You guessed it! Our very own lovable 'Eragon'! I can prove it ...
Eragon = Luke Skywalker. The name comes from a bad pronunciation of Aragon.
Brom = Obi Wan Kenobi after the 3rd episode.
Arya = Leia. well, maybe not that defenceless
Morzan = Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vadar. Only difference is that he is already dead.
Galbatorix = Sideous/Emperor.
Shruikan/Thorn = TIE fighters?
Saphira/Glaedr = X-Wings?
Dragonriders = Jedi Knights
Magic = The force (makes dragons sort of midichlorians, and the force doesn't have physical effects)
Empire = Empire (uhh...)
Varden = Rebels
Those were the characters. Here are the situations:
Eragon comes back to find Garrow killed, the house burnt down by Ra'zac
Luke came back to find his foster parents killed and the igloo like thing burnt down by bandits.
Brom took Eragon away to hide him and keep him safe from the Empire, while going after the Ra'zac. Also trained him in the ways of magic and sparring.
Obi Wan took Luke away to hide him and keep him safe from the Empire, and trained him in the way of the force and how to use the (oh so gorgeous) light-sabre.
Vadar takes Leia captive upon the Death Star, after chasing her right in the beginning of 'A new hope'.
Durza took Arya captive after a showdown in the forest right in the beginning of Eragon.
Eragon helps the Varden fend off the first attack by Durza and Galbatorix's soldiers, killing Durza in the process and freeing the Ra'zac from his control. This turns out to be a bitter blow to the Empire, and gives the Varden new confidence and hope.
Luke destroys the Death Star, confirms everyone's faith in him as a Jedi and gives the rebels new hope and confidence. The destruction of the Death Star begins the end of the Empire.
Murtagh reveals himself as Eragon's brother, and in the process, Morzan as their father.
Vadar tells Luke he is his father.
Yea, it's getting a bit too much for me too.
I am not trying to undermine Eragon. It's a good book, and was fun to read when it came out. But the more educated I have become about fantasy and the whole genre, the more I've read and seen other works in it, the more it comes out to be clichéd and overdrawn, not to mention over-hyped. I am still waiting for the third book though, but just to see how Paolini finishes off the story.
C'mon, break the cycle.
(P.S. Criticizing isn't really my thing. I know I can't write such a big book which has sold so well. But atleast I know and am not trying to sell horse shit to deluded kids who'd fall head over heals for anything with dragons and magic in it. I'm just angry he played the field.)
