Legend of the Seeker / Star Wars

So, on a whim, I decided to try and watch the pilot of Legend of the Seeker. It was on the front page of Hulu. Also: I was too tired to do much else.

Here's a synopsis:

Kahlan / Leia, a woman in a resistance movement, flees the Midlands / the Empire in search of a wizard, Zed / Obi Wan. Their ultimate hope is the plucky young hero Richard Cypher / Luke Skywalker, who has no knowledge of his past, taken from a mother who died in childbirth and hidden from a great evil. Unbeknownst to him, our hero is a Seeker / Jedi with supernatural powers and the wizard gives him a magic sword / lightsaber. Rushing home, out hero finds that the Bad Guys have burned his house and murdered his aunt and uncle / adopted father. Enraged, they set off to vanquish Darken Rahl / Darth Vader and save the land from Evil (with a big E).

I'm only about twenty minutes into it, but I'm just waiting for Rahl to deliver the line, "No, I am your father."
