Hi guys! Sorry it's been a while, but I've been pretty buisy...Her's an update:
1. I was just in a musical, so rehearsals are part of what has kept me away.
2. Even though it's late, Happy Thanksgiving!!
3. I have now seen The Two Towers! I saw it with a friend, and she only had the extended edition, so I got to see it with all the deleted scenes! I have decided that Gimli, the dwarf, has the funniest lines. Here is one of my favourite parts. Even though the line is not Gimli's, it's still hilarious (and it IS said to him...):
I hope I'll see Return of the King soon...
4. I have found some new epic music to like:
(Before you ask: No I have not seen the Harry Potter movies)
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, and I hope that I will not be gone for so long this time...I'll do my best to post more...
After Cerasi's death, Obi-Wan left Melida/Daan and returned to the Jedi Temple, hoping Qui-Gon would take him back. He knows he is meant to be a Jedi, and he's willing to completely dedicate himself. But Qui-Gon is not so sure about taking Obi-Wan back as his apprentice. The pain from his second betrayal is not the only thing holding Qui-Gon back, though. The Temple is under attack. Someone in the Temple is an informant to an enemy, and that enemy has tried to kill Yoda. Lukily, Yoda is not so easily surprised.
It's up to Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to uncover the clues and find out who the enemy is. They are prepared for a ruthless, clever intruder, but the identity of the conspirator catches them off guard. The enemy turns out to be someone who is a little too familial, and he's back for a second chance at revenge.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has left the Jedi Order to join with his friends in the revolution on Melida/Daan. He feels a connection with Cerasi that he has never felt before; in the Jedi Order, he never had close friends his age. But even now, something seems missing. Without Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan feels lost. And then the Young's rebellion begins to break apart. With parents fighting their children, the war takes on a new turn.
Meanwhile, at the Jedi Temple, Qui-Gon and Tahl are investigating a string of annoying thefts occurring right inside the temple!
"You seem uncomfortable," Qui-Gon began neutrally. "This is not an inquisition." Bant nodded uneasily. "But you can see that withe the thefts, we need to speak with all students." Again, she nodded. "Would you consent to have your room searched?" Of-of course," Bant replied. "Have you ever violated Temple security?" "No," Bant said, her voice wobbling a bit. Tahl leaned over to murmur in Qui-Gon's ear. "She is afraid of you." Yes, Qui-Gon could feel it, too. Why should Bant be afraid? "Why are you afraid?" he asked sternly. Bant swallowed. "B-because you are Qui-Gon Jinn. You took Obi-Wan away. All he wanted was to be your Padawan, but a short while later, he left the Jedi. And I wonder..." "What?" Qui-Gon asked. "W-what you did to him," she whispered.

Qui-Gon and Obi-wan are on a very difficult mission. The planet Melida/Daan is in the midst of a civil war. The Melida and the Daan do not trust each other and have kept the war alive for years by passing down their ancestor's stories. The Jedi have only been able to enter the main city with the help of Wehutti, a Melida who wants the fighting to end. Or does he?
Wehutti doesn't want the Jedi to negotiate peace, he wants them to fight on his side. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan just barely escape and find help with the Young-teenage rebels who fight for neither side. The Young want peace. They want to destroy the boundaries between the Melida and the Daan. The leaders, Cerasi and Nield, want the Jedi's help. Qui-Gon refuses, but will Obi-Wan remember that Jedi do not take sides in a war?

Next book: The Hidden Past
A New Hope= Eragon-Slightly whiny farm boy (Eragon and Luke) lives with his Uncle (and aunt in Luke's case.)
-He leaves home with some seemingly crazy (or really is crazy, depending on how you would like to look at it) old man (Brom and Obi-Wan.)
-*MAJOR PLOT POINT SPOILER WARNING, IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ERAGON AND PLAN TO SKIP THIS ONE* The old master (Brom and Obi-Wan) die.
-Luke/Eragon continues his journey with a stranger (Han/Murtagh) and the two rescue a beautiful elven girl (or princess) named Arya/Leia.
Empire Strikes Back= Eldest
-Eragon/Luke goes to an elven city/Dogobah to train to become a Rider/Jedi under Oromis/Yoda, the only other Rider/Jedi left.
-Eragon/Luke sees visions of impending doom through a scrying glass (Force Vision)
-Eragon/Luke then takes it upon himself to go save the world and not complete his training like a total idiot.
-*ANOTHER MAJOR PLOT POINT SPOILER* Eragon/Luke finds out that Morzan(A bad guy who basically had the same job Vader had)/Vader is their father. But we find out in the third book, Brisingr that Brom is really Eragon's father and that is where a difference between SW and Eragon occurs. xD Here ends the post. The following thoughts are mine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things that I noticed after reading this post: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
In A New Hope/Eragon:
-Luke/Eragon lives with his Uncle (and Aunt in SW) because he is being hidden from his father.
-The princess (Leia/Arya) is trying to hide something from the empire/king and the droids/dragon egg ends up with Luke/Eragon.
-Luke/Eragon leaves home because of what he found (droids/dragon) and when he return, agents of the empire have killed his family. Luke finds his house burned, Eragon leaves his house burned (at least in the movie)
In Return of the Jedi/Brisingr
-Luke/Eragon returns to complete his training. Soon, the mentor (Yoda/Oromis) dies, leaving Luke Eragon as the last of his kind (except for Vader & the Emperor/Murtagh & the king, who use the powers for evil).
In Return of the Jedi/Inheritance
-Luke/Eragon is taken to the Emperor/king and forced to fight Vader/Murtagh in front of the "throne."
-Luke/Eragon is able to convince Vader/Murtagh to turn from evil and help him defeat the emperor/king.
In Expanded Universe/The Inheritance Cycle
-Luke/Eragon is faced with the task of training new Jedi/Dragon Riders.
-Arya becomes a Rider and will probably marry Eragon later. Mara Jade becomes a Jedi and marries Luke.
-Xanatos kinda reminds me of Murtagh. (I would say it the other way around, but I knew Eragon before SW)
Selena, Eragon's mother, was known as The Black Hand. She served Morzan and King Galbatorix. Mara Jade was known as the Emperor's Hand before she married Luke in the EU.
So, yes, Star Wars and Eragon are very similar. But it does not make me hate Eragon. I love them both. The details of Eragon are much different than Star Wars, anyway. (Where are the dragons and elves in SW?)
Twelve-year-old Obi-Wan Kenobi has been studying hard to become a Jedi, but his thirteenth birthday is coming up fast, and if he is not chosen as a Padawan before then, he will have to go into agriculture. As no Jedi seeking apprentices are scheduled to come soon, Obi-Wan is desperate to become the Jedi he dreams of being.
Word comes that the great Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn will be coming to the temple, and Obi-Wan's hopes are raised, but Qui-Gon has not chosen a Padawan in many years. Can Obi-Wan show the Jedi that he is the right Padawan for him before it is too late?
