    I think I could only equate Boba Fett with 'the squint-eyed Southerner' from the inn. (That's only in the book.) He's a small role, but Fett was supposed to be as well, before Lucas found out how popular he was. Also, I'm pretty sure that the Southerner tipped off the Nazgul to Frodo's whereabouts, while Fett did the same with Vader.

    I`d say Luke is more line Aragorn than Frodo.

    Luke/Aragorn both know they have a dark family tree,and can choose to join it or become something more,they choose the later.

    Palpatine=Sauron

    Dooku=Sauruman :p

    Darth Maul = that 'vampire'type guy who meets Aragorn at the gates in the Special Extended edition of ROTK!

    Both mean nasty looking dudes, who get killed WAY too early!

    Lando = Boramir - great warrior, good guy, but can you REALLY trust him?

    Chewbacca = Faramir - Great Warrior, loyal, completely over looked!

    Mace Windu = Legolas, warrior of legend, really kicks ass, and stands over defeated enemy with same 'I just kicked YOUR ass' look in their face!

    Rancor = Cave troll
    Sarlacc = Squid type creature from FOTR

    Han = Aragorn - Cool guy, gets the chick!

    That's me done!

    I think there is a character being over looked.

    Grievous=Witch King.

    Both are subserviant to a higher power, both were transformed by that power, both command a vast army, both look cool and kick ass.

    I think that's pretty accurate.


    And now I'm gonna be picturing Mumakil in the background is there's a big ground battle with Grievous. :p

    the notion that sam=artoo seems to be the most right on comparisson yet. clearly both are stout companions that never falter in the face of adversity. also, they both always carry all their gear around even when they don't need to. of course, artoo's gear is all built up within him, whereas sam needs a huge backpack. but both sam and artoo always have the right idea, and they're both very helpful.

    Luke is more like Legolas - not the best actors but they are both ******* sexy!!! Frodo was BUTT UGLY.

    Also Han Solo does not resemble Aragorn. That is Ewan Obi-Wan, because both are considered the action heros of their respected trilogies, not to mention both actors are underated. Also Ewan and Viggo's bodies are NOTHING like Harrison's. His is flabby in parts, while Ewan and Viggo have very tonned average sized bodies.

    Leia is like Eowyn, because both actresses are underated plus they are tough and pretty, and don't need to wear over-the-top costumes to look good like Padme and Arwen do.

    Alec Obi-Wan is like Gandalf, because they are wizards.

    C-3PO & R2-D2 are Merry and Pippin, except Dom and Billy were actually attractive under that hidious Hobbit make-up and wigs. Plus they are funny.

    You could also say Miranda Otto is a female Mark Hamill, and Bernard Hill is Sebastion Shaw, since both the Eowyn/Theoden scene and Luke/Vader scenes are IDENTICAL!!! The difference is a slight modification in dialogue. These LOTR vs. SW battles need to end, because it is obvious both series have ripped things off each other, making them equal.

    My SW and LOTR Hotties:
    Viggo Mortensen
    Ewan McGregor
    Mark Hamill
    Harrison Ford
    Orlando Bloom
    Hayden Christensen
    Karl Urban
    Dominic Monaghan
    Billy Dee Williams
    Billy Boyd
    David Wenham
    Temuera Morrison
    Jimmy Smits
    Sean Bean

    I bet I am forgetting more.

    Ciao!

    Also with Artoo and Sam both of them are the REAL heros, when you think about it. I mean "Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam" and it's true. And how many times has Artoo done something that's saved everyone's lives?

    TPM: Fixed the Naboo ship
    AOTC: Stops Padme from getting killed
    ROTS: ????
    ANH: Finds out that Princess Leia is being held in the detention center
    ESB: Fixes the Hyperdrive on the Millenium Falcon
    ROTJ: Throw Luke his lightsaber, enabling him to fight and save everyone.



    Also, nice list Angela_Russell. I wouldn't agree with all of them, but most of them are quite the hotties, aren't they.

    From my point of view:

    Old Trilogy:

    Sauron = Palpatine
    Controls everything.

    Saruman = Moff Tarkin
    Overconfident. More like commanders. Both get an ass whoopin...

    Witch King = Vader
    Witch King hunts Hobbits, Vader hunts Jedi. Both hounds of the shadow. ;)

    Gothmog = Jerjerrod
    Both servants of a greater power.

    Aragorn = Han
    Han helps out Luke, Aragorn helps out Frodo.

    Gimli = Chewie
    Closest relation I can manage. Both are bulky warriors, although Gimli is short and Chewie tall. Both are hairy too :p

    Legolas = Lando
    Closest relation I can make.

    Frodo = Luke
    Main characters with a quest, although Luke can fight and Frodo cries.

    Sam = Yoda
    Helps Luke/Frodo. Closest relation I can make.

    Pippin and Merry = C3PO and R2D2
    Purely comic reliefs.

    Gandalf = Ben Kenobi
    Obvious.

    Reason - Both are nigh unkillable military leaders; slaves to the wills of their Lords.

    the villians

    Siddious is Sauron,the big bad who has others do his dirty work

    Vader is the Witch-King, both heroes that have been enslaved by their masters to lead their forces

    Dooku is Saruman because they've both betrayed their orders and are both Chris Lee

    Darth Maul is the Balrog;both were inspired by demons and both kill a jedi/wizard

    Nute Gunray is Grima;both work the Dooku/Saruman character and use decit as their main weapon:

    "our blockade is perfectly legal"
    "saruman has ever been our friend and ally"

    Jango Fett is Lurtz(movie only) They're both relenless hunters working for Dooku/Saruman and Lurtz is the first uruk of Sauron's new orc army as Jango is the first of Siddious' stormtrooper army

    Grevious is uh...the Black Lieutenant because i got nothing else

    Gothmog? Sadly, that makes sense. I still say that Grievous is the Witch King.

    "Both are subserviant to a higher power, both were transformed by that power, both command a vast army, both look cool and kick ass."

    You're right in almost every except that in all honesty he didn't really kick ass. Both Darth Maul and Jango Fett killed jedi onscreen but Grevious just ran away. That's why he much less worthy than being compared to the Lord of the Nazgul in my humble opinion

    Yeah, well clone wars set us up for a disappointment. Curse cartoon exaggeration! Of course, Grievous was fighting Obi-Wan, so...
