Is that meant to be a stab at my preference in characters? Cause I loathe all of Twilight for being a pure mockery of story telling. After reading Twilight, Eragon felt like Harry Potter.
Which, now I'm reminded of way I hate people in general. I had to help a blind kid get to class on the other side of campus because no one else would. Walked him across the entire campus in pouring rain, and then walked back so I could be late to class.
Was very upset. 😒

Note: This is literal. As in it is blatant plagiarism. Seriously.
In book two, he has to go see Yoda and then ignorantly leaves his training early just to get smacked around by a superior masked opponent, who later turns out to be his relative.
Book 3 isn't quite as bad, though him making a new sword to replace his old is very much like another young warrior.
Still, I enjoy rip offs. Need to read Lord of the Rings actually. Or at least watch it.

Yep. The story of the first book is exactly the plot of A New Hope. A young, inexperienced farmboy who lives with his uncle and dreams of bigger things accidentally intercepts an object intended to help a Rebellion bring down the Evil Empire, sent off in a desperate ploy by a princess just before her capture. The boy's home is attacked by the Imperial forces and he is forced to flee, with the help of an old man he knew only vaguely before, who gives him a magic sword from an earlier age and teaches him the magic ways on an ancient order of knights. After narrowly escaping capture with the help of a roguish stranger, the old man sacrifices himself to save the boy. The boy and the stranger continue on to the Rebellion, who are attacked in their base by the Empire and barely escape absolute destruction thanks to the intervention of the farmboy.
To be fair Star Wars' plot is not exactly a well of originality, but if what you say is true, that's a lot of similarity.
