I have read on sites and heard from people that Eragon is like Star Wars.

Story starts with travelling princess who is remarkably beautiful who has a powerful artifact that could help a rebellion defeat evil empire. She is captured but manages to transport the artifact to safe place before being captured.
Both feature farm boys that wind up with a powerful artifact that is key to a rebellion. Farm boy goes to old guy who was part of an ancient powerful order for help. Farm boy becomes part of ancient order. Evil guys kill farm boy's uncle and farm boy swears revenge and leaves with old guy...

Sounds familar. I haven't gotten through Eragon yet though. What do you think. I want to see the movie, but if its just a magical verison of Star Wars...
