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

LOTR gave us Gollum, which was a huge step, but not a massive game changer like Star Wars.
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.

I mean you can literally say the same thing for Star Wars. 1977 changed filmmaking forever because of Star Wars, and that’s straight from the mouth of guys like Spielberg and James Cameron in the Empire of Dreams documentary 
LOTR still looks so damn good. I can’t think of another movie made 20 years ago that still looks like it was made today.

Dialogue and quality of actors in LOTR is so far above SW it isn't funny.
