Well, I meant that the Inheritance Trilogy is mostly along the plot of Star-Wars, not LotR. After all, a young boy from an unimpressive home has his uncle murdered, finds a mentor who is later slain, leaves home to join with a group of rebels against a widespread empire while learning that he possesses a great power. And in the second book he goes off to find a new mentor in a forested realm and learns that his father was a highly important villain during the rise of the "Empire."
The Inheritance Trilogy really strikes me to be of more likeness to Star-Wars when it comes to the MAIN storyline. The minor sequences are where the similarities to Tolkien's work begin.
