I read Eragon once in middle school I think. It was alright, pretty basic I guess. My parents pointed out to me (because they had read it as well) that it was just the plot of the first Star Wars movie but medieval fantasy, and I can't really unsee that lol.

Yeah.
It's definitely not a bad series, just tropey.
Nothing wrong with tropes if you do then right.
But there is much out there that's better than Eragon.

@The Bookwyrm Cruel to Percy Jackson. PJO holds up, imho, while Eragon doesn't.
Also, most things are derivative, it's just about how skilled you are in the retelling. (If you think Tolkien or Lucas were wholly original, you've got another thing coming.)
