I was all for Paolini copying Star Wars; Star Wars was good. Pity he skipped out on the Battle for Hoth and the Cloud City analogues.

But the EU? The thing I wondered is what were all these Jedi doing all that time? There's an epic battle raging between good and evil for the very soul of the galaxy and they're...what? Lounging around somewhere? If I was Luke, I'd want to smack every one I ran into. "Could've really used your help, lazy good-for-nothing!" "Don't you know there's a Rebellion on?"

Like the Jedi, I have to wonder what the heck any of these dragons are doing. You just know that the second Eragon stabs Galbatorix all by himself they'll come swarming in out of nowhere with various unconvincing excuses as to why they couldn't be arsed to do anything.

Maybe that's why Paolini assumes Eragon is likable. Because he rarely argues with others. XD

I didn't realise 'unavoidable' meant 'begging for their life'...
