Character Criticisms and Controversies

In spite of the series' success, the Inheritance cycle series also brought controversies and criticisms where the series' similarities with its inspirations such as Lord of The Rings series and Star Wars series proved too much. This also caused Eragon's portrayal and characteristic to be extremely similar with Luke Skywalker, which worsened his film portrayal in some ways, since he looked like a medieval counterpart of Luke Skywalker. Following similarities with Luke Skywalker that also brought the controversy are:

  • They begin their adventures at a very young age (fifteen in Inheritance, nineteen in Star Wars) after their adopted family (Aunt and uncle) is murdered, leaving them with nowhere to go but to flee with a mentor.
  • Both characters are given the responsibility of continuing the legacy of an ancient order (in Eragon's case, the Dragon Riders; in Luke's, the Jedi) and become the first of a new generation of said order.
  • They are given weapons that are later revealed to have been once possessed by their father, but lose it at the end of the second part of the storyline. Both heroes also build their main replacement weapon (Eragon-Brisingr, Luke-His green bladed lightsaber).
  • Both, Luke and Eragon used weapons from evil characters that were slain/wounded. They are trained by older members of the order after their original teachers die. Brom and Oromis in Eragon's case, compared to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda in Luke Skywalker's case.
  • Both have a sibling they did not know about (Murtagh in Inheritance, Princess Leia in Star Wars) until later in their lifes.
  • In the Eragon movie, Eragon stares into the sunset when Roran leaves, similar to Luke staring at the suns, which brought many backlashes on said scene.
