I prefer the Star Wars Universe overall, I know stuff about it, whereas I know very little about the LOTR universe beyond the movies.
Poll: So Escapists, Lord of the Rings or Star Wars, which do you prefer?

For me it has to be the Lord of the rings, simply because of the sheer depth and detail of the world, what tolkien did is mind blowing, creating a world, with multiple races, with different languages, different styles of writing for some and a mostly complete world history. its nothing short of genius.
hmmm well since I liked all of the lord of the rings films and books and only like the orignal saga in star wars (plus KOTOR and Battlefront but those don't really count) I'd say it goes to lord of the rings if it was just the lord of the rings and the orignal saga that would have me poundering for quite awhile
three for the elven kings under the sky
seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone
nine for mortal men doomed to die
one for the dark lord on his dark throne
in the land of mordor where the shadows lie
one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them
one ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
in the land of mordor where the shadows lie.
the fact that Tolkien could come up with something that sounds as amazing as that is part of the reason i like LoTR more than Star Wars, also I like fantasy more than sci fi.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away it would have been Star Wars by miles, but I think my love for that series has just been eroded away over the years. The only Star Wars thing I still have a real fondness for is Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 (I don't have a powerful enough PC to run the MMO).
Lord of the Rings on the other hand is still going strong in my mind. I still enjoy the books, movies and some of the related games, and with The Hobbit coming out soon this will hopefully continue.

Lord of the Rings. I love fantasy that takes place in the middle-ages, or at least got the style from there. Never been much of a sci-fi fan.
Ehh... I think Star Wars has a little bit better of a story and the world (or galaxy I should say) feels much more alive than Lord of the Rings.
But I generally like Lord of the Rings better. I think that Lord of the Rings was our generations' Star Wars.
And I'm not to sure I would have even liked Star Wars as much as I did if I hadn't been introduced to it at such a young age.

Ha, that's just child's play! Real men fight with laser swords, bowcasters and the force!OniaPL said:

Star Wars - This is a rare opposite for me. I don't care for sci-fi and I love fantasy.
With LOTR, I couldn't get into the books. The movies were also boring with a few good sections. I was invested in the Frodo and Sam segments, but all the other side stories just didn't do it for me.
Star Wars, on the other hand, is like the Rocky series. It's just sheer entertainment. I really enjoyed Episodes 4,5, 6 and 1. There's also been quite a few good games associated with the series that has kept my interest in the lore over the years.

Don't think either is particularly better, and I will always love sci-fi more than standard fantasy, but Lord of the Rings will probably always be my personal favourite of the two.
Kind of depends. Are we talking about games, movies, the actual setting? I think the movies of LOTR we probably better but I grew up with Star Wars so I do love it. I would do almost anything to be a Jedi though.
Favorite book out of these would be The Hobbit.

I prefer Lord of the Rings, but just barely.
Both are excellent trilogies (LotR's 3 novels, Episode IV/V/VI).
Both have awesome extra content (Silmarillion, Star Wars EU).
Both have suffered completely shitty movies (Peter Jackson's movies, Episode I/II/III).
