Star Wars vs Lord of the Rings?

The books wouldn't be considered a trilogy because LOTR is a sequel to The Hobbit.

One of the most popular "trilogies" of fantasy books, The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, is not a trilogy, though it is often referred to as such. Tolkien regarded it as a single work and divided it into a prologue, six books, and five appendices. Because of post-World War II paper shortages, it was originally published in three volumes. Sir Stanley Unwin, Tolkien's publisher, also split the novel into three parts to garner separate book reviews for each book of the 'trilogy', and thus (hopefully) spike book sales. It is still most commonly sold as three volumes, but has also been published in one-volume and seven-volume editions (as it is also split into six books and the appendices).

However, as we're in Movieworld I'd say it's safe to assume that he meant the films which were in fact made as a trilogy. Any noob knows that. :dabs:

In answer to the thread starter, I liked the original Star Wars trilogy the best. Far more exciting, the heroes are less black and white than LOTR, the characters are infinitely more interesting and it's about 18 hours shorter in total.

I like Star Wars better, and no, it's not a trilogy.

Star Wars "Trilogy"? The new ones or the old ones?

:dabs: That's not even a good rod.

Oh and the original Star Wars Trilogy is better by leaps. It was ground breaking.

LOTR's trilogy was not. What made LOTR stand out was simply the number of CGI characters that were put on screen at once. It made the battles look epic (that's done a lot nowadays....300, Chronicles Of Narnia, etc).

Star Wars story & characters > LOTR's as well

Also Cheese is right. LOTR was too fucking long

"18 hours shorter".:lol:

star wars, lotr is still really good though

Lord of the Rings trilogy nomber 1 !!!

A trilogy is a set of three works of art, usually literature or film, that are connected and can generally be seen as a single work as well as three individual ones.
