As a SW fan going all the way back to 1977 I'm tempted to make comparisons myself... but it's safe to say you could make similar comparisons to a multitude of other works with huge stories set in "mythic" universes. There's a saying among storytellers and mythology buffs and folks who are into such things, something about there only being 'X' number of different stories in the human experience and they just get told over and over and over again because there are some things, some themes, some archetypal situations and relationships and events that resonate in a way that cuts across the boundaries of time and culture.

I will say though that I think the SW universe, at least the one in the movies themselves, is far more "black and white" than the Elder Scrolls universe. The storyteller there leaves us no doubt that the Sith are evil, the Empire must be overthrown, etc. It's possible for an individual character to shift back and forth on the moral spectrum - Anakin/Vader is the most obvious example, Han Solo and Lando would be lesser ones - but that's about as murky as it gets. And with the exception of Vader I think a lot of that individual ambiguity disappeared with the prequels and special editions (i.e. Han no longer shoots first, which pretty much guts the whole "point" of his character IMO).

Exactly, both empires are lawful entities that do what they must, the rebel alliance and the storm cloaks are terroists.

not to be rude but this seems like a very large gap between the two series,sure they both have magical powers but the fact is that elder scrolls is in a mystical dark age setting(maybe its evolving into the renaissance age with most of the races starting to splinter off)and star wars is a space opera.....with magical cells

Your comparisons can be made with any number of series, not just with TES. the fact that you just had Skyrim as a base shows how weak this comparison is even if you actually tried to do one ;p

Imperial Empire..... Democratic Democracy....

Anyways, on a serious note, I totally see you're point. Well done

HOWEVER

As has been said, you could make the same comparison in many places (Good vs Evil with magic)

It's almost like the AVATAR = Dances with Wolves (which is also spot on, but much more generic)

Anyways, good job nevertheless OP

This.
