Thanks for voting, here is your treat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0sc-gS9AqM

1. two great choices, but

I'll go with LotR because all 3 movies were great, while SW was only 2 great movies.

[grannylib]

3. Exactly what I was going to say. I loved the original Star Wars;

the new shit sucks. LOTR was awesome all the way through; Sarahbellum and I watched all three over the new year holiday :-)

[TZ]

5. I agree as well.

The last three SW movies tarnished the series, IMHO.

[NewJeffCT]

6. the last four

but, I think Revenge of the Sith was pretty good - maybe better than Return of the Jedi.

[TZ]

7. Yeah Revenge of the Sith was okay.

I still much preferred Return of the Jedi though..especially since it lacked Hayden Christensen who was a BIG reason the prequels sucked.

[NewJeffCT]

11. I think it's more Lucas' fault

Luke was pretty whiny & irritating in the first two movies, but at least the dialogue was better and he had Harrison Ford/Han Solo to play off of...

the dialogue from the prequels is just awful, though.

However, I thought the RotS showdown between Obi-Wan & Anakin was excellent (until the "I hate you!!" line at the very end) and the "Execute Order 66" scene where the Jedi were almost all killed was very good as well.

2. This was an easy vote for Star Wars, but then again I didn't care for the LotR movies

[DS1]

4. Lucas still serves a public lashing for Jar Jar Binks

[Blarch]

8. Ya, but ....

Didn't he make up for it with General Grievous ?

[DS1]

10. No

Because Grievous sucks at everything he does. He never completes a successful mission from Cheney.

And he already did the propeller of death thing in Raiders, only with a real plane. A Nazi propeller of death plane.

12. Genndy Tartakovsky deserves credit for General Grevious.

Lucas just ripped off a cartoon.

[Blarch]

16. I don't see that.

According to the Revenge of the Sith DVD, series creator George Lucas instructed his creative team to create an enemy that foreshadowed Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader: the heavy breathing, the cyborg body, and his seduction into a malevolent faction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Grievous

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

25. According to George Lucas, he wrote everything.

Including WWII, Hidden Fortress, and Triumph of the Will.

Fuck Lucas and his claims.

20. Which character would you be referring to here?

I like a lot of Tartakovsky's stuff... not sure which character you mean.

30. D'oh.

Thanks.

9. Neither LOTR was boring and Lucas and raped Star Wars to death.

[flvegan]

13. Easy choice...

14. Thats the link I posted in the OP.

It was your treat for voting. :toast:

[flvegan]

15. Didn't even realize it.

I didn't even see the link. As soon as I saw the subject, I was off to look for the clip.

[laconicsax]

17. What if Lucas had done LOTR?`

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv4Potdpjhw

I vote for LOTR because one and a half good movies followed by four turds does not make a good series.

[XemaSab]

18. Hayden Christenson should be shot at dawn

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

21. Lord of the Rings, unquestionably

Better performances, emotional climax upon emotional climax, Wagnerian sweep, a more cheery fanbase...no contest.

Revenge of the Sith and The Empire Strikes Back were really cool, though.

[ghostsofgiants]

22. *clears throat*

NNNNNNEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

[redqueen]

23. Hahahahahah...

:rofl:





did you vote? :P

[ghostsofgiants]

24. No, I don't care for either. I only saw the first LOTR, which bored me...

And I haven't watched the original Star Wars Trilogy since I was a wee lad.

[redqueen]

26. Ah...

I voted for LOTR.

I'm a boring person who enjoys boring things. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

29. I just don't dig the whole "Fantasy" genre, generally. Not my cup o' tea.

[sniffa]

28. A lot of jerks on this poll

There's only one fucking trilogy you idiots.

[Burma Jones]

31. yes

[Pryderi]

32. Matrix Trilogy.

[SOteric]

33. LOTR. -If only because

Jackson didn't make us wait a whole fracking generation for the next installment.
