The best trilogy of all time is Hellraiser, until they buggered it up by making 4, 5 and 6. Come back Clive, all is forgiven!

Hang on, what about the Die Hard trilogy? Absolutely awesome first film (probably the best action film that Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman ever made together), pretty damn good second film, and a much-better-than-the-second-one-but-not-as-good-as-the-first-one third one.

I can't believe the amount of crack some of you guys are on, the Australian dope industry must be riding on the crest of a wave right now.
Star Wars is totally awesome...
... but Lord of the Rings is simply better.
There is no need for extraneous argument, the facts speak clearly for themselves. Please, crack heads, go on about your day and enjoy your next hit.

Unfortunately the Star Wars legacy is tarnished by the second trilogy, and by the Disney factor of 'Return of the Jedi'. The first half of 'Jedi' is awesome, but the whole Endor storyline lost me. Up until then the series may not have been realistic, but it was believeable. An elite force like Imperial Stormtroopers would have slaughtered the Ewoks within minutes. Why is it that the entire Rebel force couldn't hold off an Imperial assault on Hoth, but teddy bears armed with sticks and stones brought them to their knees? Up until then, the rest of the story was pretty plausible.
Having said that, there's problems with LOTR too, like if the Nazgul are so good at smelling the ring, how come they just kept flying over the hobbits and Gollum when they were in the Dead Marshes or riding right past them when they were hiding at Minas Morgul? But LOTR is a far more powerful series of films than Star Wars.
The Ewoks had the home ground advantage though, remember that, they knew where all the hidey holes and stuff were!

Plus, just like how Sarum and the Nazgul were not expecting a small attack so close to home - neither were the Imperial forces expecting such a small/organised attack on Endor.
I don't think it came across so well on film, but in the book it's the distraction that Aargooony causes that helps the Hobbits across the marshes to Mount Doom. By confronting Sarum using that seeing-globe thingy, he fools him into believeing he has the ring.

Bah. It would have taken weeks of planning to pull that off. The Empire didn't subjigate the entire galaxy so it could fall in battle to a handful of Stone Age tribesmen in a matter of minutes.spawn said:

The Nazgul can sense the presence of the ring, but without someone bearing it they ae completely invisible to them. Their sense of smell is only powerful enough to give them the general idea (ie, the ring is in front of me, it's to the right etc etc)
Yeah they didn't show Aragorn confront Sauron in the palantir.... was kinda annoyed with that because that was the moment in the books where he stepped up and gave the Dark Lord the proverbial "hey fuck you"

But the Stormtroopers are only clones remember, so fighting in a jungle against natives in far superior numbers, who had the help of a rebel force as well wouldnt have been easy!Goreripper said:
Then if the Nazgul can sense the ring, why would they leave the area after having just a cursory look around? THEY KNOW ITS THERE SOMEWHERE! Theres like 9 of them isnt there? They are useless!
