LOTR is better

The star wars prequels were the biggest pieces of ass hair ever made.
Lord of the Rings beats those.
The original star wars trilogy is a work of art, as is LOTR.
Also the OP should be banned for asking such an unfair question :2razz:
Now, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and a huge Lord of the Rings fan. Both are the definition of epic, in their own ways. It often comes down to what mood I'm in, to decide which I like better. LOTR has some of the most epic fight scenes and characters we will ever see, and Star Wars has some of the most amazing concepts and plots twists ever. Right now, though, I just watched the truly epic charges and fight scenes, so I'm going to flip a coin and go with LotR.
Pelennor Fields is my favorite
lol, i love LOTR but i'm a second generation SW kid, and the force is strong with this one :2razz:People voting for Star Wars should be banned... :2razz:
And if you can't take my comment as joke, then you're probably Star Wars Kid.
Episodes I-III had TWO good things. Natalie Portman and the fight between Skywalker and Kenobi at the end of III. LOTR beats those.
However, when you put LOTR up against the Trilogy, then it is no question Star Wars is better. The movies alone redefined Sci-fi and the concept of special effects. They truly are masterpieces. But to be fair, the LOTR books was probably one of my favorite series I ever read.
LOTR created an entirely new genre though; the epic. The movies were decades ahead of contemporary works, and their storyline is still intact, something Star Wars sadly cannot claim.

Come on. LotR did not create the fantasy genre, that had long existed. And Star Wars was epic, it pushed the technologies for the time and even today I think it looks pretty damned good (but you can't go with the special addition George Lucas is crazy addition, the original theatrical release of eps 4-6 is the only Star Wars trilogy which exists). No one had seen anything like that in the theaters before, they had to invent the special effects for the movies, it didn't exist back then. Star Wars pushed the envelope on everything and delivered an epic movie and an undying story.
Now if they'd just make the prequels, that would be cool.

Actually the movies weren't all that epic. Some of the battles were cool, but Star Wars redefined Sci-fi. LOTR just added to it.

"Lucas has often cited The Lord of the Rings as a major influence on Star Wars. "
