Why Oromis’ statement that Galbatorix’s confidence would be shaken learning that he’s still around won’t work, but Paolini thinks it might because this is what happened in Star Wars

I don't know, if there was even the slightest chance those guys might be hiding more dragon riders (of which I'd already singlehandedly killed hundreds of BEFORE I turned into an evil king of an evil empire with massive glowing balls) I'd go and burn down their forest. Tear down their trees and set fire to it all. And then I think I'd raise the seas and salt the ground so nothing could grow there. I'd do this both to make sure there was no dragon rider and to make an example of what happens to people who stand in my way.
Then again, I think I'd be an actual evil emperor instead of a guy who is, essentially, just a bureaucratic king who sits on his throne all day and effectively polices his empire for a tiny bit of tax.
Instead, Galby will do literally nothing and we won't be shown any villainry because these books are retarded.
I've never got the sense that Poalini's connection to Star Wars goes beyond the original trilogy; do you really think he'd know about relatively esoteric EU concepts like the Emperor's Hands and the squads hunting Force-sensitives?
... Are there other continents besides Alagaesia? It would be silly if there weren't more continents. Rather, if there weren't more populated continents, with states and countries and the like

It's because Paolini copies Tolkien. Except that in Tolkien the edges of the map were far enough away from the main characters that they'd have an excuse not to know/care too much about them.
