Luke Skywalker / Eragon is a boy living with his uncle and aunt/cousin just off a small mostly secluded planet/town. One day Luke/Eragon finds a droid/dragon's egg sent from Princess Leia/ Princess Arya just before she was captured. After finding an old acquaintance Obi-Wan Kenobi / Brom who tells Luke/Eragon that he is one of a near-dead group of people called jedi/dragon riders, he returns home and finds it destroyed. Seeking revenge, Luke/Eragon travel with Obi-Wan/Brom across the galaxy/land and infiltrate a space station/building and rescue Princess Leia / Princess Arya, though Obi-Wan/Brom are killed by Darth Vader/an assassin. Obi-Wan/Brom turns out to be a former jedi/dragon rider.

Luke/Eragon travels with Han Solo/Murtagh across space/a desert to take Leia/Arya to a rebel outpost/elf city that does not obey the rule of the empire, led by Darth Vader/Galboratrix. After arriving, the rebel outpost/ elf city attacks the Death Star/ is attacked by the evil Durza.

After successfully attacking/defending the Death Star/city, Han Solo/Murtagh leaves.

Across the films/books, the evil Darth Vader/Durza turn out to have their own bosses, the evil Emperor/Galboratrix. Darth Vader/Durza turns out to be Luke's/Eragon's father/half-father and Leia/Murtagh his sister/half-brother. Luke/Eragon meet an elderly jedi/dragon that is sick and dying and teaches Luke/Eragon the ways of the jedi/dragon rider shortly before his death.

The Below comment has spoilers to the Inheritance Cycle books.

An interesting observation, but highly doctored to suit the argument you are trying desperately to prove. There is the issue that you are generalizing the skeleton of the plot so much that you are of course going to hit similarities. Also the saying "It's all been done.." comes into mind. But other than that, the most glaring issue is the in-correctness of your information.

Durza is no one's father. He is a shade. Period. A man who chose to control spirits with dark magic.

Brom actually dies long after Arya has been rescued and this part of your argument relies on the movie's warped version of the storyline.

Brom is Eragons father, not Durza, and this is not discovered until Brisingr.

Murtagh does not leave, he is kidnapped by the Twins, who betray the Varden and were actually working as spies for Galbortix the whole time. Murtagh is then forced to swear allegiance to Galbortix as Glabortix discovers his true name in the old language, which allows him to control him.

The city/outpost argument has the biggest hole. Number one, it's a dwarf city, deep in the mountains, and it's not even located within the empires borders, but rather far from them. In the books there are 4 main entities/empires, the Empire, The Du Weldenvarden ancient forest, controlled by the elves, The beor mountains, controlled by the dwarves and the many houses of them, and Surda, an empire free from Galbortixes rule. The Varden are hiding from Galbortix and are hosted by the dwarves.

I haven't read Eragon in a few years, and only once to begin with. But still, the plot is almost exactly the same.

But, yes, I have seen my mistakes. Morzan is Murtagh's father, and he and Eragon share the same mother. I heard most of the spoilers for the third book, but I was not told that Brom was actually Eragon's father.

With Brom's death, I was again confused, but you are wrong as well (at least according the half-reliable, wikipedia. Yes I'm at the book, not the movie right now). Arya was rescued after his death.

Murtagh technically does leave, but not by his own choice. Wasn't there a dude in Star Wars 5 that betrayed them to Darth Vader at one point, then turned good again? I'm guessing that's gonna happen to Murtagh.

Once again, the city was confused with the Elf forest to the northeast (it is that, right?) but, still, don't they start a war with Galboratrix later on?

Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning: I wanted to know what I was going to say.
