Yes, it was a Star Wars forum first.
But let us put things in perspective. The LOTR section is an expansion of the movie area; that being the case LOTR has got FAR more posts about it than any other movie there. With SW still being the primary purpose of this board the LOTR section is still a very respectable showing.
But secondly, a good three-quarters of posts about Star Wars are speculative, based on the idea that we do not know the story, at least for sure. Very different kettle of fish with LOTR! Far fewer things unknown. It's not as if we can speculate on who will kill the Witch King because the books already say, yeah?
