theoden_of_rohan Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Ok, surely we are all big and ugly enough to discuss this without loads of abuse being thrown around (although, that can be fun...mwahahahaha) So, what do you think? Personally I am totally stuck...although I'd probably end up going for Star Wars! Well, there are twice as many for your money LMAO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucienight Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 LOTR I've never really been keen on SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliens vs predator Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Very tough choice but LOTR is just amazing so they get my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smaug Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Five to one for LotR's! I like LotR's more because there is so much more to it? Well I'm saying this very one sided as the only piece of Star Wars anything I own is a mini lightsabre I got in a cornflakes packet. The only film I saw was Attack of the Clones, and I wasn't really paying attention... *winkwinknudgenudge* What I like about LotR's is you can take any number of parts in the fandom, you don't have to be a fan of the films, you can be one of only the books, or you can be an all round Tolkienite. You can cosplay, roleplay or study the mythology and legend involved. Or even study the languages Tolkien created for all his books. The information about Tolkien's worlds is so indepth it's hard to believe that he didn't just pluck them from our own history. Plus it's origins come from Beowulf one of the best stories ever!!

Lady of The Realm Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 But also, there is a huge history to Star Wars, nearly every character, however minor, has a story and name. Gah! I dunno which!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Star Wars! Prfft LOTR never lasted long did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTATOES Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Ive never seen either but because I love 'Theoden_Of_Rohan' I voted LOTRs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smaug Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) LotR's lasted for 30 odd years, it'll last for a lot further into the future. LotR's fandom is a lot bigger than just three films. Edited June 23, 2005 by Smaug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 They are both different franchises tho. LOTR started as a book, and Star Wars started as a film. I dont think they could really be compared as franchises and doesnt really make a fair poll! Did any of that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTATOES Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 basically you're saying Lees poll is sh*t? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporty_Si Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Never really got into the whole Star Wars thing. Seen the films though and they're alright I guess. Cant compare to the sheer amazingness of LoTR in my books though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamps! Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I personally prefer LOTR franchise, mainly because I'm not into Star Wars, although my eldest son is now well into, CHEERS JEZEBEL!!!! You could have made him watch LOTR LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
