not funny (not to offend you, sorry) but interesting how it relates.

XD! If you look at the book Eragon, you can also find many similarities between it and Star Wars.

O yeah? I've read Eragon, no similarities....was i not looking?

There's TONS of similarities.
Protagonist living with his uncle, finds a mysterious artifact. Goes to see a wise old man about it. The artifact reveals a hidden secret. Soon after, the uncle's house is destroyed. The protagonist must go on a journey with the wise old man (who gives him a weapon) to find a rebel base. On the way they meet a male companion with an attitude and resuce a female person who is important to the rebel cause.
And that's just the beginning:p

You can go to your local book store and pick up just about any book and find tons of similarities like that. All heros have to have a rough life/strive to prove themselves. They all need a weapon, they all need a bad guy to fight, they all need accomplices, ect. So really, Star Wars isn't the base here, the base would be the first story ever written about a hero, and let me tell you, that was written long before George Lucas was born

Mweh. Anything can relate to anything if you try hard enough. I mean, nobody else can relate... everything... to Pelennor, LOTR in general, and Braveheart... but I can. Eragon steals from... everything... so it's not surprising. Not that I'm insulting Eragon- it's a good book.

....Book 7: Voldemort:Harry, I am your father!
Harry:Noooooooooo!
Nobody ever mentioned seeing James and Voldemort in the same place.
(note:I know there's a million things to prove this wrong, I'm just joking around
)

Lol, I noticed that too. After I finished reading it, my mom's like "How was it?" And I said "Lord of the Rings meets Star Wars. It was okay."
