you cant really compare these two trilogies as which is better. Star wars is a master peice. It combines numerous levels of storytelling and formula's. you know what, there really is no reason to go into details, because if you seriously believe that the LOTR is a better trilogy, as in originality and innovation, and all that other good stuff...you are out of your skull. Nothing like Star wars was ever seen or attempted before. Star wars opend the flood gates to pretty much every science fiction we know of today,the way films were made period, thousands of fantasy stories, and so many more things, it is just mind boggeling. It will continue to inspire for decades to come. So the new star war movies are shitty, lame and tired, nothing can take away from the greatest trilogy and story of all time.
LOTR is a bad ass trilogy, the story has substance, because of one mans life work. The films are beutifull and entertaining, but they target a certain kind of audience, where as star wars has somthing for everybody. The story in star wars was written by the man who made the movie, this let him shape the film to his likings. LOTR had to follow the books, they had many things to consider, and many things they couldnt do because of the books, this made for kind of an awkward paced story on film. Both are great, but only star wars is the master.
