re: How much of a joke is it that Star Wars was ever thought to be equal to Lord of the Rings?

I’m not a fanatic for either one, but Star Wars probably made a bigger splash in the public consciousness in its time. It was sort of a cultural event.

Lord of the Rings did start the big fantasy craze of the 2000s (alongside Harry Potter). There are a lot of films and television shows that would not have been made had Jackson not masterfully adapted Lord of the Rings, so it was very influential in that way. Without Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones would have never happened. You wouldn’t have had the MCU either.
