There only seems to be similarities between the movies since the Eragon movie left out nearly 90% of the book, so all the development and characterization and details were left out. We were stuck with the bare minerals, thus the similarity to Star Wars and pretty much every myth.
Eragon simply follows the "Hero with a Thousand Faces" template, which by the way, Star Wars also follows.
but i think that's what makes the books so awesome... that sort of subconscious realization that Eragon is what you get when you mix LOTR and Star Wars together, in that order. When you mix Star Wars and LOTR together, i think you get Dune... maybe.
Haha this video is hillarous. It made my day like 100% better. It took me until the end of Eldest to see how similar the plots of Star Wars and Eragon are.
Seriously. The plots in Eragon and Star Wars are almost identical. Eragon=Luke, Brom=Obi-Wan, Durza=Darth Vader, Arya=Leia, Galbatorix=Sidious, and Dragon Riders=Jedi, both of which were mostly killed off by Galbatorix/Sidious.
I would say that Durza is more akin to Tarkin than Vader. Vader would probably be Morzan and or Murtagh (Though I'd say there could be attributes of Count Dooku and Han Solo respectively in both of them as well)
I know that plot in the book is incredibly similar to the Star Wars, but this movie... I can't believe that the guys who made it copied so many scenes from the SW. Espiecially that moment with Eragon watching the sunset...
Just watched Eragon and I was like "wtf, I should make a clip with the Eragon footage and Star Wars sounds", but I decided to check YouTube first because I couldn't believe I was the only person who had this feeling :P
You hit it right on the nail. In 90% of the scenes you used I had EXACTLY the same SW quite in mind :D
Nice work, too bad the quality of the footage is a bit crappy tho :/

This comment has received too many negative votes show
paolini did not copy star wars
the stories have very little in common
all that direct insults at paolini are jealous of his talent
nubfanatic 2 years ago
Of course this was easy to do, seeing as Paolini clearly stole the story from Star Wars anyway.

Last half of minute 3 wins. While watching that Eragon scene I screamed "I FIND YOUR LACK OF ORIGINAL IDEAS DISTURBING!!!!" at the top of lung.
That woke up my dad and he beat me unconscious. Thank god, it was a good excuse for not watching the rest of the movie.

Ingeniously found similarities ! :-)
My beloved Saphira as R2-D2 rocks ! :-D
BTW, the movie suckes, although I've only seen a few previews and scenes... Even the book was better, although nothing new in the fantasy genre...
