I am so incredibly excited to hear that they're planning on making the Disney+ show NOT for children, I was really worried about them numbing it down, but I'm also super happy to hear it won't be as gruesome as GoT. So excited for the things to come!

If they are going to make a disney+ series for Eragon. i really would prefer animation. We saw how they bungled up a live action version and frankly live action would rob alot of the majesty that can come from the story.

I met Paolini at a book signing at a Barnes and Noble a few years ago. I have never physically met someone with so much passionate energy. I later learned he's that way all the time, throwing himself 100% at everything that piques his interest. Anyone who has seen his Minecraft gameplay know exactly what I'm talking about. He's an incredible man.

I remember my childhood friend one day coming up to me and handing me Eragon. He said it was amazing and up my ally. I never read it... however until way later I was in a dragon fantasy mood and looked back at my bookshelf and rediscovered the book. Once I started reading I could not put it down! I could not believe how rich, believable, and speaks somehow to my childhood. The lore with magic and dragons was especially done well. Anyway I ended up reading all 4 books within a month. I cannot wait for this new series!! When I watched the movie I was so sad. Though the only thing I loved about the movie was Saphira's voice. That I felt was done well, but that's about it concerning the movie. Thank you for bringing us this wonderful world and characters! I cannot wait for the new series!!

I can already envision how some Urgals being less aggressive and possibly having horn problems could be an issue for them/possibly becoming an outcast. Interesting idea though, Urgals being less aggressive, and Dwarves getting pointed ears too. Can't wait for the show and the new books!

And if no, what do i have to do, to make you do it anyway? Greetings from Germany =)

I wonder if the show will receive a more mature rating in possible future seasons. I can't imagine it maintaining a even a pg13 rating and doing the grotesque scenes involving the priests in Dras leona justice. I also think it would be amazing to do an anime styled story revolving around elva and Angela.

For some odd reason, I can see Dwarfs getting taller but not much. The Urgals might get a bit slimmer. I would suspect both races to have better handle on magic\energy manipulation than they do now. The biggest thing is how would adding the Urgals and Dwarfs affect the dragons. We know, especially with the elves, when the races connected start to decline it effected the dragons.

I audibly cackled when he said that telling us who Angela actually was was a spoiler. We finally get to learn Angela's full story! 😁 I also screamed "YES!" when he brought out the Godzilla notebook. It's beautiful, Christopher! Also also it's totally cool to be amused by your Scottish Lordship. My parents got me an Irish Ladyship. Now whenever my mom tells me I need to be more lady-like I'm just like (pulls out Ladyship card) "You were saying?" EVERYTHING I DO IS TECHNICALLY LADY-LIKE NOW AND IT AMUSES ME TO NO END.

Frankly, despite reading your inheritance series, I thought your passion for detailed, high fantasy world building was dweebish as a teen/young man. Being older, I realize how hard it is to come up with a story as detailed as that shown in the Inheritance series, which can actually withstand scrutiny from autistic obsessives on websites like reddit. Bravo.

I could see the urgals becoming slightly smaller over time and less aggressive. And the dwarves growing slightly taller and less aggressive. The pointed ears over time is a given, but I think physical changes over time for the dragon riding urgals and dwarves could very easily be much more. Love the books!

I would like a little bit of a dark take on the Eragon series. But at the same time I would also like it to be more like a fairy tale. Maybe the first episode can start with a very innocent Eragon who would see the hard parts of the world. Another idea, how about you expand the story you’re telling in the show by showing more of the backstory of some main characters like Eragon and Murtagh?

I got into listening to audiobooks this year and just last week I finally came back to Eragon to finish the series after not completing it when each of the books came out. It's crazy it's been 20 years since Eragon came out, and I remember it taking me two months to read Eldest, as well as being disappointed in the movie. It took me from the 22nd to the 30th to listen to the whole series and it is just *"chef kiss."* I'm not sure why it took me so long to get back to it. I also listened to "To Sleep in a Sea of Stars" this year as well, and I went on a trip with that one. I kinda feel bad wishing that it was a novel on its own because I like binging books series when all the books are out, but I'll be eager to see what's new in that universe. And I was totally imagining movie trailers for it using David Bowie's "Lazarus" in them.

That's why it's comforting to know that you'll be writing and co-producing the series. Please do your best to prevent it from becoming another gut punch of an adaptation. Also, I'm thrilled to know that an illustrated Unity will be released!!

If you're still taking questions for the later ones of these, I have one: I'm still blown away by the wisdom by some of the advice and philosophies that experienced characters like Brom, Oromis, Glaedr, etc have imparted upon Eragon. I think I'd be pretty impressed by these views, even if the actual source of these philosophies was a centuries-old sage. But I'm doubly amazed that the actual source of these characters' wisdom is from a 15-20 year old kid. So how did you know how to write for these characters who helped Eragon when you were in such an "Eragon-like" stage of your life? (Sorry, that was long.)

I’ve been rereading the series and my biggest question is are we ever gonna get to see another landmass in the world of Alagaësia, like the landmass where the humans came from and the Ra'zac were or is that gonna be left up to our imaginations? Also an amazing book idea would be the journey of Brom, about his saphira and his journey after her death especially about him falling in love.

Ok so i am very very late to this sadly. But my opinion on the ending of inheritance has always been it was sad that eragon had to leave arya i cried at the last scene but the saddest most heart wrenching part especially as I’ve gotten older is Eragon leaving Rotan and Katrina and their daughter. With Arya there is plenty of time for her and Eragon to see each other again for they could both live thousands of years. Roran could be dead in 30, at most something like 50-60 the average life expectancy of a man todays is in the low 70’s. Eragon could return 200 years from now to find rorans great great great grandkids. His last family left in this world.
