*Looks around for best friend who will call her a traitor but...*
Star Wars is cooler. (Gets jumped on by all the LotR fanatics in the area...)
Sigh. I think it's cooler because there are a lot more books. There are so many ages to consiter writing about in fanfiction, and just so much about it.
Star Wars doesn't have the same depth of reality as the Lord of the Rings, but you can see the SW things really happening.
I like Star Wars better, though it was a hard choice. There is just something that I like better about it, and no one can change that.
May the Force be with you

*sigh* I know how you feel. My friends might jump on me if I said SW was better *except for CRD who is a fellow SW fanatic* My reason is because SW was my first obsession.

Oyness. Why do people have the tendency to ask this...this...grrr...(snort)...this... question? No offense, Warious. ;D I choose [glow=red,2,300]STAR WARS[/glow]!!! Huzzah! But that's only because I've been a fan of SW longer than LOTR, and I just like playing in Lucas' universe better.

I only asked this question because I had nothing better to do.
No its because I want to se how many people actually love SW more than LotR.
And for their reasons.
I've been a SW foucused person for the longest time. Even when my parents forbade me from the series for a whole year and a half.

I like LotR better. Why? Well, I think SW is cool and all, but I like LotR! I am an LotR fanatic! And I will stay that way for my entire life! Gollum: Are you sure. Adrienne: No. Gollum: ?? Adrienne: 'Cuz when I'm old and can't remember anything then it will be imposible to love LotR. Gollum: Ookay... Me: Okay, so reasons I like LotR better than SW. I think the SW force thing is weird; its a little too much like some Eastern religion thing for my taste. "The force is in everything." Yeah... I just like fantasy alot. I'm not trying to dis SW fans or anything. I'm just telling my opinion. Happy Star Wars-ing to all the SW fans. ~Cheers

If you like fantasy so much then how come you don't like *gags* Harry... Potter... no wait, that's Harry Pooper. Giggle.
And don't you go calling me a traitor now, Miss Adrienne. Star Wars RULES!!!! Well... LotR is very cool too... *uses Force-lightning happily*
I FINALLY WATCHED A NEW HOPE!!! WOOT!!!!

Eowyn SKYWALKER, Miss Adrienne, the one who hates the 'Force' stuff.
AND WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME A TRAITOR?! IT'S BAD ENOUGH IN REAL LIFE, GIRL!!!! PLEASE, GIVE IT A REST!!!!!!!!!!!! But DO kill That weird kid with the glasses... what's his name? Peeves: Potty Wee Rotter.... giggle.
You must understand, Adrienne, I like Star Wars better. (coughs...)
It is your choice though, to call me a traitor to the Lord of the Rings, it is yours to make. *bows* All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given you. However, Star Wars gives me the choice to become a Padawan, and that is so much fun... now Jandalf and I can torment each other on the Barrow-downs TOO!!! It's so much fun, living in the Star Wars world...

Who comes up with questions like this? I have to say I like Lord of the Rings more. Even though SW was the first movie I ever saw, like ever like I was a week old and saw ROTJ. I like Lord of the Rings more because, honestly Hobbits are cooler than Ewoks and Elves are just awesome. Fury footed people that speak english and wear entertaining things or fury people that dont speak english. Either way they both rock. But Hobbits are better than Ewoks. I really like hobbits actully. Hobbits are like oxygen. LotR is like oxygen .

I used to be so obsessed with LotR it was TERRIFYING! I am so not even kidding. But I had a bad personnal experience with LotR (do not ask), so I am going to have to go with Star Wars. It doesn't win by much, but it does win because of what happened.
But I DO NOT like Episode 2, as Anakin makes me sick with his whole obssesive thing with Padme (although I like her dresses, not that I would ever wear one). Something about the cinematography bothers me, too. Obi wan is cool, though, but I also don't like the way they made C3PO (actually, in the old SW, he reminds me of my Great Grandma, in a good way). I like the OLD Star Wars, because those were the ones I first got hooked on when I was younger. I like Han Solo, too... *snicker*. It funny because when I get really sick, I have an old Star Wars marathon, along with Episode 1.
Just out of curiousity, but has anyone seen the Ewoks movies? I forget what they are called, but the word "Endor" is in the title. There are two of them...

Haha. IN the SW:2 Hayden Christensen does an awful job as Anakin. One reason why LOTR is better, better acting. [ only sometimes though, because some people in sw are amazing]

*rolls eyes* Hey, I USED to be very very very very very obbsessed with LotR, to the point to speaking elvish all the time, and Black Speech, and maying costumes, and so on. But then... I fell in love with Star Wars. That's why Adrienne calls me a traitor.
Yes, the LotR movies have better actors, and the costumes are really cool, but it's not the movies that Ii was thinking of, really. It's the Star Wars books that make me prefer it. Yes, indeed, the Lord of the Rings are INCREDIBLY well done, but Star Wars... well, there's so much more of that. I love Star Wars... Anakin is cute... okay, THAT was pointless. Yes, Epy II wasn't that great... romance is icky, but the Star Wars were great books are movies.
I will always hate this question because I'm so torn... sigh.

would you kill me if I was realated to Hayden?

Post by Tiana, eh? on Jun 19, 2004 17:58:08 GMT -5
Nope. Because it's just Anakin he does an awful job as, and I don't hold the actors responcible for the character's actions either. You aren't related to him, are you? I'm related to the guy who wrote 'In Flanders Fields', but that's it for famous people.

I didn't like the acting in Episode 2 either. Hayden Christenson's acting was bad and REALLY annoyed me. Are you really related to him, Vanacoriel?
I am related to Orlando Bloom.
In my dreams, I might add... That would kind of stink, actually, because then I couldn't gaze at his picture as much as I do because it would be weird. Not that it isn't already...

You Bloom fans are nuts!

Post by Vanacoriel on Jun 20, 2004 19:52:52 GMT -5
Yes, I really am related to him, buttttt I havent seen him for like 8 years, he didn't really seem to like me much.... even when i was little. It would not be too cool if you actully were related to Orlando Bloom. You would get very weird looks from him is you were looking at his picture and he saw you. It'd be cool if you were realated to George Lucas or Peter Jackson and you could go on the set. And steal the props! MWAHAHAHA

Ba-da-da...STAR WARS!!! Heh. But I already gave my opinion.
You're related to Christiansen? No way. That's pretty cool, even if he did do a crappy job of Anakin. Hopefully he'll have shaped up some for Eppy III.
And I LOVE the poem "In Flanders Fields". Makes me cry, every time, which is a big deal for me. Literature usually doesn't get much of a notable physical reaction from me. How closely are you two related to your respective famous relatives? Or do you know?

Anakin: Are they calling me crappy?
Eowyn: No, dear, they're calling your ACTOR crappy.
Anakin: Oh... okay... right... yeah... sure... *coughistillthinkshewasinsultingmecough*
Eowyn: *glare* Yeah... very cool, Vanacoriel... tee hee. No, my relation to the guy who wrote that poem... well... it's distant, but there... we did a family tree thing once, so I know... but it's fairly distant... ummm... I forget how distant though. Anything in writing rarely catchs me... there are very few things that I read that really get me on the edge of my seat, or whatever. Penpals, Tatooine Engagment, The Water's Edge, and Phoenix: Die Another Day are the only ones that really have caught me on fanfiction.net... and one on BD, I forget what it was. Strangely enough, they are all Star Wars fanfiction... hmmmm..
