They didn't? Wow. I haven't read it for a while now so I don't remember
Maybe I was just annoyed that the name was similar to 'Dragon' and incorporated that in my memory somehow

am i the only one that noticed that the plot of Eragon (the first one! ) was ripped almost entirely from Star Wars?
How so?
Oh, u evil king and your haxxing soldiers! Its like one of those videogames where you get shot down to 1 hp and your character is just walking around, not limping, not crawling, not bleeding out...
As for the movie? VOMIT. VOMITVOMITVOMIT. I mean, they left out tons of plot elements, changed Brom's death, killed Sloan... I have this theory that the guy who directed this movie only read the first book.

let's start off shall we
parentless teenage boy lives with his uncle
who's house is burned down
but luckily he's rescued by an old man and taken on a quest to defeat the evil king
but whoops the old man dies
but not before teaching the boy a mystical art!

The first one was the only plot ripoff.

The next ones are original.

Oh really now I guess I'll have to read them

Ugh, my friend always makes Eragon references. I'm regretting giving him that book for Christmas.
It's a pretty good series, tho.

But Galbatorix isn't his father, he doesn't even fight the king in the first book, doesn't even see him, actually, Brom is assassinated, while Obi sacrifices himself, they take place in totally different time periods, and he isn't born with the mystical art because of his heritage, he acquires it through finding a rock in the middle of a mountain. There are no dragons in Star Wars, and the 'magic' is limited to mind control and weak telekinesis, where in Eragon, it does everything. The two plots are just your everyday Young-charrie-finds-something-and-becomes-hero stories, and all stories with that theme have a few common plot elements. That doesn't mean they were copied. Also (Spoiler alert) Obiwon isn't Luke's father.

I already have it and I'm speeding through Brisingr.

Saphira is just awesome in the 2nd and 3rd books XD

So, I'm not sure if I'm being picky or not (Oh wait, I'm sure I'm definitely picky...)
but I was reading Inheritance (The 4th one) and somewhere in the book they're in a room and it gets darker in there and I noticed this sentence:
"His pupils grew smaller to adjust for the sudden darkness"
"His pupils grew smaller to adjust for the sudden darkness"

GLaDOS2 · 2012-03-01 13:08:37

@Alternatives: Yes, yes I know Glaedr disgorged his heart of hearts
yes I know Thorn stole Nasuada.
Yes I know Oromis died.
Yes I know Murtagh will die.
Yes I know Brom is Eragon's father.

I won't read any of these until I'm finished with Inheritance.

Which is about 300 pages away.
