A comparision between Eragon and star wars

The movie opens with Princess Arya/Princess Leia smuggling a dragon egg/message or Death Star plans from the evil kingdom/Empire. She manages to hide it successfully but is captured by Durza/Darth Vader and interrogated about it’s location. A simple orphan farm boy named Eragon/Luke acquires the egg/plans but doesn’t really know what to do with it. One day/night he returns home to find his uncle and aunt murdered by ra’zak/storm troopers who were trying to recover the egg/plans. With his surrogate parental figure(s) dead he decides to leave home forever to ultimately get revenge. He journeys with an old man named Brom/Obi-Wan who actually knows a thing or two about the dragon/message. Since he was a former Dragon Rider/Jedi Knight he begins to teach Eragon/Luke how to use a sword/lightsaber and how to master magic/the force. Not suprisingly he learns the skills very fast (sounds like a Gary Stu to me). While on their journey, the evil kingdom/Empire draws them to their fortress/Death Star. Once there, they are able to rescue the princess but Brom/Obi-Wan ends up being killed by Durza/Vader. After escaping the fortress/Death Star they meet up with Murtagh/Han Solo who says he can take them to the hideout of the Varden/Rebel resistance movement. (O.K. so this is a chronological discrepancy with the two events occurring at opposite ends of their respective movies but it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s the same crap.) The ever-present evil kingdom/Empire tracks them to the hideout and initializes an attack to wipe out the entire resistance movement. At the climax of the battle is an aerial confrontation between Eragon/Luke with his dragon/X-wing and Durza/Vader with his dragon/Tie fighter. Durza/Vader is defeated and Eragon/Luke blows up the fortress/Death Star.

It sure does sound familiar does it?
