Oh god, I lol'd again xD C3P0 and R2 make for pretty good comic relief though, much better than hobbits.

This is for the movies though 
The LotR books are amazingly epic and definitely pwn Star Wars. I was fortunate to read all three of them on a 5 week cross-country trip with my parents before the first movie came out. Buuuut thanks to the movies, I can't ever read them again. I tried a few years ago...and those damn movies had burned Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom into my brain, so I saw them every time Frodo or Legolas came up. I suppose it would be nice if I was some tasteless fangirl, but I'm not and I hate those two. |

Both are great and I cant really choose. Star Wars greatest Sci-Fi trilogy closely followed by the Matrix. LOTR greatest fantasy trilogy.

Star Wars ftw, there was enough about the original films to keep you rooted to the screen. I....fell asleep watching the first two LOTR films

Star Wars is better than LoTR, even the new three films are better. I like all the SW films, and I can remember lots of them...The only thing I can remember from LoTR is the Gandalf and Saruman battle, and Gollum

Although I completely bum both SW [if we're regarding the first three as the only films] and LOTR trilogies, SW... does take the upper hand. I don't think it's fair to say LOTR sucked comparatively - no such kinds of film are similar, and should be evaluated appropriately. Having said that, I have to say I'd sooner pick up Return of the Jedi before Return of the King.
Though Saruman is clearly a superior villain.

Seeing as Tolkien never intended for LoTR to be broken up in to three books let alone three movies then Star Wars has it.

Technically I don't see either as a real trilogy...
SW was planned as 9 and is now 6 movies...just disregarding 1-3 is ridiculous, no matter how much suck they were...I might as well just take the 3 best Star Trek movies and call THEM my favorite trilogy...
LotR has The Hobbit (by far better than LotR or single SW movie)...but I guess if you're just talking about the movies...
I like them both...but Return of the Jedi>Return of the King, no contest. The LotR movies puttered out at the end, where the SW movies continued to kick ass...Though Empire was my fav...
There was also that SW Ewok movie, though...
EDIT: I'll also take those Lego Star Wars games over any of the LotR games I've seen...

I watched the first one in theatres, I didn't fall asleep but my ass was pretty sore after sitting down for three hours.

Quite true. As a matter of fact, the copy of LotR I own is all three in one massive 1000+ page book.
