the plot of star wars comes from hero with a thousand faces, which is just a structuralist breakdown of the monomyth. so by saying something has the same plot as star wars you're really saying it has the same plot as pretty much every epic, ever.

Which Eragon does, the clicheness of the entire series is so noticable that it's hard to read the books without falling asleep.

Ok, but the character's have exact analogues in Star Wars. Every aspect of the story is copied from Star Wars and apparently Hero With a Thousand Faces.
