Rings and Sabers.

Nine Nazgul versus Nine Sith. Well, if you go by the films, sure the Sith would win. Then of course they'd kill off each other till only two were left. But if you go by Tolkien's text. Nazgul would rip up the street with the Sith.

And how about Cave Troll vs Rancor. Cave Troll!
Bill the Pony vs the Landspeeder. um.. I don't what I'm talking about anymore.

 

Saruman could be like Anakin. He "turned".

However, Anakin's 'turn' was accepted by the Force. Saruman was judged unworthy to go the Grey Havens. Also , Saruman didn't so much 'turn' as go the the Valar in supplication, at which he was rejected.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I'ed have to go with the Nazgul to. Have all you people seen
The Two Towers trailer??????

Heres one for you....Shelob VS Rancor


And back to an earlier subjest, between the Sith and the Balrog I would go with the Balrog, And it might not of lost if:

1. It and under estimated Gandalf
2. It had realized that Gandalf had blown the bridge

3. Gandalf himself said the Balgrog "was his match".

 

you are crazy. there is no way 20 sith would get beat

 

Stick the Watcher in the Water into the depths of Naboo, and watch him duke it out with all the other sea monsters.

 

id like to see the balrog fight an opee or something

 

The Balrog all the way!!!!
It had migic powers, It would make short work of Siths, becuase swords "Sabers" cant hurt it.

 

I think that Jedi and Elves are very similar. They both have a strong connection to nature and living things. As well, as have some pretty cool healing abilities and powers.

Later,

 

I don't know. I think I'm underestimating the Balrog, but he didn't seem that bad to me... Nothing 20 Sith couldn't handle. The could just use the Force and through him of the bridge or something. The Balrog in hte movie reminded me too much of a certain video game character to be scary.

But the Nazgul, they were scary and their horses were even worse. But I still found the most disturbing part in the movie to be when Bilbo tried to grab the ring in Rivendell. Oh my.

Another comparison between Star Wars and LotR: Orcs and Stormtroopers. Both are are semi intelligent and a force of 20 can be easily dispatched by one person due to their incredibly bad aim.

 

Stormtroopers would shoot up the Orcs before they knew what hit them.

 

I don't know about that. The stormtroopers would try to hit the orcs but they'd miss. Then the orcs would try to hit the stormtroopers but they'd miss. And to complete the picture, the Star Trek red shirts would beam down and try to kill both the orcs and the stormtroopers but they'd miss and hit some explosive, killing themselves and everyone else. It's no wonder the good guys always win.

 

Okay, but say there's some orcs and stormtroopers with good aims. A blaster bolt would instantly slice through orc armor, but there's no way an ordinary arrow would kill a stormtrooper. Unless it was a really really dumb trooper.

 

And there are many very dumb troopers. But I see your point. If there was a stormtrooper and an orc both with good aim, the stormtrooper would win.

 

BAck to an earlier to debate between 20 Sith and a Balrog. I think the 20 Sith would, Gandalf was able to take down the Balrog, though he went down with it, and I think 20 Sith are much stronger than one wizard.

 

I agree with Lahne_Pryok in saying that the Jedi are much like Elves. They're the highly, well respected (by most anyway) beings with wondrous power. They both eventually "leave" their lives, with the Elves leaving over the sea and the Jedi leaving over the sea of stars (when their bodies are given back to the galaxy via burning or disappearing). They dwindle and fade, and eventually make their one final swipe against the darkness before they leave.

 

ok ok ok, on a different knote, would you all take The Ring Of Power, or........................the death star 1

 

Let's see... Damning my life to a wraith's existence under the power of Sauron or being blown to smithereens by a bunch of cocky rebels.

...Do I have to pick?

About Orcs and Stormtroopers... I'd go with Stormtroopers but, I seem to remember an entire legion of troopers being wiped out by a bunch of primitive teddy bears with arrows. I'd go with Uruk Hai Orcs over Stormtroopers though.

 

Well since I'm mortal and the Ring of Power would, as KongZilla said, turn me to a Wraith and force me to serve Sauron I would take the Death Star. It isn't for certain that you would be blown away by Rebels. If you actually send out more than three TIEs in your defense you would probably be able to defeat the Rebels.

 

I'm not sure if this comparison has been made yet but I guess Sam and Artoo are kind of alike in the way that they will follow their masters wherever they go.

 

Just for the sake of keeping this thread alive, I'll ask a question. How old is Gandalf supposed to be, was he around the first time Sauron came to power?

 

I dont know, I think he helped take out the "Necromancer" which was I think before Suaromon. And I would take the Ring Of Power.

 

Is any one here going to the opening day of The Two Towers?

 

Well, I'm not making plans yet... but yeah, I'm going to opening day of the Two Towers. Midnight show most likely.

This is from theonering.net

Gandalf entered into Middle Earth as one of the Istari, and was deemed the wisest of the order by Galadriel. He has been said to be the person most responsible for Sauron's downfall, laboring nonstop for roughly 2000 years to put an end to his reign. Gandalf was the bearer of Narya, the Ring of Fire, given to him by Cirdan when he arrived in Middle Earth. Gandalf always held Hobbits near to his heart, and he also held their race in high regard. When Bilbo found the Ring, Gandalf immediately suspected that it was the One Ring, but allowed Bilbo to keep it, for he knew Bilbo to be strong, and innocent: plus he knew no safer place for it, and he dare not be tempted with it himself. In the year 3001, Gandalf persuaded Bilbo to leave the Ring to Frodo, and shortly thereafter, Gandalf set in motion the Quest of Mount Doom. Gandalf was one of the most important people at the Council of Elrond, because he alone knew the full history of Sauron and the Ring. He fell in the Mines of Moria, in battle with the Balrog.

...and there is more but I wont spoil anything for those who haven't read the books.

 

Is the Ring of Fire one of the rings of power that was made in Eriador? How come Gandalf never talks about being responsible for Sauron's downfall?

 

I don't think the "Ring of Fire" is an actual ring. I think it means a circle of fire. This is what he was talking about on the Bridge. "I am a servant of the secret fire. Wielder of the Flame of Anor..."

As far as Gandalf being responsible for Sauron's downfall... Read the books. I shouldn't say anything more. If you really want to know... you can always do a search.
