Lord of the Rings>>>>Star Wars

The only reason people get so worked up over Star Wars is because it was an exciting film in the lack luster era of film. Why is LOTR better than Star Wars? Here's why:
1). No incestual love triangles
2). No attempts to cast N'Sync for publicity
3). LOTR did the entire, "Crazy wizard gives young and unskilled boy a powerful item and dies to save young boy" thing first.
4). LOTR trilogy was made all at once
5). Arwen>>>>>Amidala
6). Gandalf's friend and ally who owed him a life debt was Gwahir Windlord, the noble king of the giant eagles. Qui Gon had Jar Jar.
7). Furry movie characters don't break into song
8). Pete can't tease us with the promise of a new episode for 25 years and then make up something as lame as midichlorians.
9). It's more satisfying to see an Orc get beheaded then a Stormtrooper fall down.
10). Han Solo is a filthy rogue who turns out to be, er, a slightly cleaner rogue, while in LOTR Strider, the filthy rogue, becomes Aragorn, king of mankind.
11). Peter Jackson simply cannot make shite up as he goes along.
12). LotR is better because I know that Peter Jackson isn't going to rerelease The Two Towers just so some uruk-hai can shoot first in the Battle of Helm's Deep.
The list goes on.

There is only one return. And it's of the King, not the Jedi

Why didn't the eagles just fly the ring to Mordor?

Because the Nazgul would have fricked them up

This pissed me off so much in The Hobbit like why the frick didn't they just fly them to the lonely mountain

They're both great trilogies, why bother comparing them?

True. I was never a huge Star Wars fan as a kid and the prequels brought my interest in the franchise down to almost zero. Fellowship had me hooked the first time I saw it.

nah, Lord of the Rings can GTFO

when the eagles came in the last Hobbit, i was like...okay, wtf man, this is how they're bailed out...again?

Smaug was in the mountain I can understand the nazgûl but not Smaug

Peter Jackson couldn't think of anything else to bail them out

He would have woken up if a bunch of Eagles came flying in. Regardless, they weren't going to risk their extinction.

Looks like you spent a lot of time on this troll thread. Good luck, buddy.

Because life is about competition.

It's been a while since I read the Hobbit, but I think I remember Tolkien being the one that came up with the way to bail them out.
