Star Wars WITHOUT a doubt. Star Wars is a classic!!!Harry Potter is good, but can't compare it with a gun like SW.

/\Did you even read what you wrote? Where does it say that this thread doesn't concern cultural impact!?

More pitiful spelling and other immature nonsense. Your great reason for liking a film is because others do.
That from the guy who used this Word?

Potter won the votes back in 2011 on this site. Harry>Luke on this poll.
Originally posted by Darth ThorThis was when the potter franchise was hot and the ot films were out for decades. We both know the acting and deep ness of the characters blow Star Wars ot off the map.
2011?And im sure LOTR would have beaten both back in 2002.
Now would be a better time for a popular vote. That said, doesnt seem like Disney Star Wars has swept in a new generation of fans. So any vote would basically be older Star Wars fans vs Younger HP fans.
TFA made 2 billion so quit forgetting Disney has made a ton of scratch. Disney has made me a huge fan not the overrated Ot film trilogies.
I prefer OT.
I haven't seen the HP films in some time and was going to rewatch them recently but they then all got removed from HBO. From what I remember about HP the films are pretty uneven. There are a couple that are very good, the third one, and I remember Deathly Hollows Part 2 being great, the rest range from being mediocre to simply pretty good.
I do like how the HP films mature and darken as they go. I also remember the last film being much darker and heavier than anything in the Star Wars franchise, I was really surprised at how serious and how well they achieved the "everything is on the line" mood of that last movie. I wasn't terribly invested in the series but I did care about what was going on in the last one.
I think Harry Potter's premise is probably more creative than Star Wars, which is a very standard hero's journey story, with a lot of tropes taken from LotR as far as how the story flows. However Star Wars is much more unique as far as aesthetics goes.
I also think Darth Vader is a much better villain. Voldemorte had a lot of potential but I think they kinda screwed him up in the films because there are long portions - like multiple movies - where his presence is just non existant and I almost forgot about him for a while. That said when he did come into play later he was a decent enough villain.
The OT is more focused, which I guess should be expected since it's only 3 movies instead of 7 or whatever, but still I think it gives an overall better experience.
All that said, the Lord of the Rings trilogy is better than both of them, by a pretty significant margin, imo.
