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

quote:John Carter of Mars, Dune, Jack Kirby's New Gods, Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, Flash Gordon... not so much "Lucas was coming up with his own stuff" but instead, "Lucas was quilting a story from previous successful works."
To be fair to Lucas, he didn't have the wonderful road map that Tolkien gave Jackson. Now, that doesn't mean Jackson didn't knock it out of the park himself, because it certainly isn't easy adapting something so faithfully. Lucas, however, was coming up with his own stuff.

It’s still different than adapting a book to a movie.
There are definitely moments in Star Wars where you know Lucas wasn’t thinking trilogy.
