Today, my boyfriend and I got in a fight about which is better: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. We aren't speaking. FML
I agree, your life sucks 22 255

amburrjade tells us more.

Hi guys! I'm the OP :) I'm 19, and my boyfriend's 20. I thought LotR was better, personally. To be fair, I've only seen one of the Star Wars movies, and he's only seen half of one of the LotR movies, so we were both a little biased. This was last night though, and by the morning, it was forgotten. We're all good now. Thanks for your comments! :)

same. I think both are amazing, although it is hard to compare two totally different stories. but I love Lord of the Rings.

There is only one "Return" and it's of the King, not the Jedi.

Am I the only one thinking these two are just childish?

BLASPHEMY!!BLASPHEMY!! YOU BOTH SICKEN ME! SMH

Yeah, I'm camp LOTR too. But I haven't seen the movies (and don't even want to see them), but absolutely love the books! They are magical.

Keep fighting the good fight OP. LotR is amazing!

I'm glad you're on better terms now. And I completely agree with you. My dog's name is Pippin, and it suits him perfectly. I guess I might be a little biased.

Reduxed Battlestar Galactica tv series is by far, far better than both....

As someone who's seen both series several times, I think the best one was

Star Wars is fantastic.....but Lord of the Rings totally owns!!!! (also 9/22 was Hobbit Day!)

Love Lord of The Rings and Star Wars, you should really watch the movies together and see why the other might like another one. They're both great movies

We have plans to sit down and watch both of the series together, but we're probably still gonna be biased as he grew up with Star Wars, and I grew up with LotR, which we've both accepted :)

Umm no Star Wars is infinitely better than lotr. Way more stories and background and is currently expanding everyday

One does not simply disagree that LOTR is better.

@257 Actually you're wrong about the back story. Have you ever heard of the Salamurian (probably spelled that wrong) or the Hobbit? Both of those explain the world of Lord of the Rings. The first one I mentioned is basically a lotr bible. Star wars is great but it wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for lotr.

Star Wars came out first the **** are you smoking?

The LotR books were far before Star Wars. The Hobbit was 1937, LotR was 1954, Star Wars Episode IV was 1977. Also LotR wins.

@269 ...do you mean "The Silmarillion"?... If you know it's "the LoTR bible" how can you not know the correct name :(

Hey OP you do realise they are 2 seperate genres, styles, and ere's. It's like comparing bacon to strawberries. I myself grew up on starwars as a kid, lotr didn't become popular till '04 at the release of 2 towers i believe. Were starwars came out in the 80s.

By sheer mass of information and creativity, yes. But, Star Wars will always be MY favorite! <3

the LOTR movies are ******* boring, it's nothing but walking. hell even the trees walked in those movies.

Yep. Well, asides from the Horse riding, Eagle riding, battle scenes etc.

Geeks!! These should be the problems of all relationship

Hopefully it gets resolved and whoever said Lord of the Rings is better sees that it's actually Star Wars, best of luck.
