Star Wars vs. The Lord of the Rings

Which famous trilogy do you prefer?

vs.

Lord of the Rings, dude.

Don't even try to compare.

I view Star Wars as a saga, so The Lord of the Rings gets my vote. I like Star Wars better though.

star wars = childhood memories.

Always been more into Fantasy than Sci-Fi. So I vote LoTR. But I do really like Star Wars as well.

The Lord of the Rings.

Also, watch this.

I hated Star Wars. I also hated the first Lord of the Rings and the first half of the second movie though. But, the parts I liked in Star Wars were overshadowed by the rest of the crap in those movies. So I guess Lord of the Rings.

I like Lord of the rings better. I usually don't like alot of sci fi. But star wars games are much better then the lord of the rings xD

I prefer the LoTR trilogy over either SW trilogy, but I prefer the Star Wars franchise more then the LoTR franchise. Although that might change if the Hobbit is as good as I'm hoping it will be

Star Wars: 7 oscars

LOTR : 17 oscars.

Lotr > Star Wars.

I don't like Star Wars at all so the obvious choice is LotR. I've seen the LotR trilogy at least 70+ times as compared to the Star Wars saga, its probably 11 times.

WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE!

I can't decide and I never will decide I love them both.:oops:

Ooo, that's a tough one. I love both of these. Ima go with Lord of the Rings on account of it having a stronger novelization. :)

I know that we aren't supposed to discuss video games on OT, but I'm getting horribly tired of everyone freaking out over Oblivion.

I loved it when it came out, but looking back on it, it just doesn't hold up at all.

Oh, and Star Wars isn't even science fiction. It's a fantasy film set in space.

Although Star Wars define my childhood I definitely consider the Lord of the Rings to better in terms of acting, directing, music and quality of screenplay.Meinhard1

Lord of the Rings. The prequel trilogy really killed the Star Wars franchise for me (apart from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, those were good) for me and at least Tolkien showed restraint by not writing three novels on a bland, angsty Sauron going through puberty.

I like star wars better.

Back on topic. Star Wars > LOTR. Lord of the Rings uses the standerd fantasy formula (Though, Tolken invented it, so credit to him) while Star Wars shows the "good guys" are terrorists. My reasoning? The Rebels assassinated the beloved Emperor Palpatine, and Murdered hundreds of thousands of civilian workers when they destroyed Death Star 2. The evil side won in ROTJ, plain and simple.

It's a hard decision to make, but I'd say The Lord of the Rings Trilogy wins it for me. Even if I didn't include the Starwars prequels, LOTR would still win.

PlaneScape: Torment > Oblivion ;)

Palantas agrees. I spent a lot of time on Oblivion, and that game has a lot of problems. I developed nervous tick from playing it, where I have an uncontrollable urge to punch someone in the face who says "I saw a mudcrab the other day."

Or millions of people. The thing was big enough. Maybe it was mostly unihabited.

You and I are going to get along beautifly.lordreaven

Oblivion.

LotR is great, but doesn't have the same charm as SW.

SW wins imo.

Oblivion.

I'm actually surprised that people favor lord of the rings. Then again this is a very tough call. I love them both but had to go with star wars.

LoTR, just coz Im a 90s kid.Bloodseeker23
