I just think Lord of the Rings is the better crafted trilogy. The fact that they were all made at once makes them feel so perfectly connected. I don't think any film trilogy will ever match that balance. The only trilogy that comes close in thematic and quality consistency is the Toy Story films.

whoah toy story is a great kids movie but is not comparable to the lotr on any kind of scale

[@aztronomy7457]

The lord of the rings was a better trilogy, but Star Wars had a far far far greater impact. Star Wars literally changed our entire culture. Not to mention, it was a pure movie. LOTR had an entire bible basically to build a story off. George wrote, directed, built companies, and basically had to bring the entire world to life from scratch.

LOTR because of the classic, straightforward storytelling. Tolkien never relied on twists, plot conveniences and over the top worldbuilding.

[@kornaxon3522]

Although I'm a devoted SW-fan and don't really like LotR, i agree with that. The LotR is a more coherent creation.

[@edwdecarlo]

Keep in mind, Tolkien created his world to present a setting for his first love, inventing languages. Tolkien is actually a master World Builder, providing a well formed, massive world with thousands of years of history. He even detailed the creation of his world, established the origin of the evil precedence which can be traced from the origin directly to the Third Age. The LotR is just a small window into his world, the equivalent of a few paragraphs within the overall recorded history of the world containing Middle Earth, the Grey Havens and beyond.

Of the six movies in both trilogies, Empire Strikes Back is my favorite. If Return of the Jedi had really stuck the landing, Star Wars would win this.

[@krishnarjunar2724]

We all have different opinions 😁 I love star wars more because of Return of the Jedi

Lord of the Rings!

[@ethanmietzner5218]

Lord of the Rings tops Star Wars by light-years and worlds combined. I watched this when I was a young teenager and it has been such a part of what I love in my life.
