    Oh dame it! I can't decide! I have liked Star Wars way longer then Lord of the Rings! But I like elves, Legolas IS hot, And that movie was tight! Oh hell I like them both! :D

    That's impossible to say. Both are outstanding for entirely different reasons.

    There both Unique. I will wait until the final Episode of Star Wars and the final Lord of the Rings comes out before I pass judgement. Can't you just like them both equally, but for different reasons? :)

    ...that all depends on what you're comparing. If it's the LOTR BOOKS to the Star Wars FILMS, then Lord of the Rings is vastly superior. If you're comparing the LOTR film, to the Star Wars films, then Star Wars is the clear choice. Fellowship of the Ring was a truly awful movie. I've no idea why it was so well recieved.

    I love both Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, but my favorite of the two is Star Wars.

    I thought the books for both trilogies were boring. (SW movie novelizations, not other EU books :) )
    I don't know why, I just couldn't get into any of them whatsoever.

    Now the movies... I like all the different facets of Star Wars, the hugeness of it all. LOTR just doesn't have that.
    But LOTR is fairly interesting with the cultures it does have... and it has Legolas!

    Aw heck. I'll just say I like them both equally. :p

    Tough question. I would have to go with Lord of the Rings on this one.

    Definantly Star Wars. I think that I can relate to it better than Lord of the Rings...if that makes any sense.

    Reguardless, no other reason why I would spend a good 3+ hours a day on these boards if I didn't love Star Wars. ;)

    Dammit, JediMasterGaladriel, you've thrown me into one hell of a dilemma now...

    Hmmmm...

    I love both movies, especially LOTR because it's long and shows cool stuff. (Nazgul)

    But I'm gonna have to go w/ SW, 'cause I like the technology / mysticism contrast within it. (Plus, I wanna touch Padme;))

    Scale from 1 - 10,

    LOTR 9.5
    SW 9.8 (I have yet to see a 10)

    Thats a hard one. I love them both.

    But, I think the OT is better than LOTR, but LOTR is infinately better than the PT.

    I saw SW/ANH in theaters in 77' and have been hooked since and it is very hard for me to admit that any movie could be better than a SW movie but I have to say that LOTR is better than the PT.

    I can't decide, they're both REALLY EXCELLENT films and the castings's great! I can' wait to see Two Towers or Episode III. By the time Ep. III comes out, all the LOTR films will be out anyways.

    LOTR: 100% great casting and storyline
    SW: 100% great casting and storyline

    IT'S EQUAL!









    P.S. Legolas and Anakin Rule!!!!!!

    Star Wars has been around since the late 1970's and is still going strong. Will the LOTR movies have that sort of impact. I think not.

    I watch Star Wars more than I do Lord of the Rings, so in my opinion Star Wars is better.

    It is not that hard to decide, I love Lord of The Rings, but for me Star Wars is a way of life. Star Wars wins all the way for me.

    I would hate to say this but Star Wars even though Lord of the Rings kicks ass! I have liked Star Wars alot longer and I don't know it's just because I'm so obessed with it! :D I know I said both but I had to make a choice!
