While I enjoyed both Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, I have to say that Lord of the Rings is FAR superior to Star Wars. In many ways.
One reason is the superb cast of totally awesome characters, whereas Star Wars only has a few badass characters. Gandalf, Elrond, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Sauron, the awesome Ringwraiths, creepy Gollum, Wormtonuge. The list of awesome Lord of the Rings characters is virtually endless, whereas Star Wars only has a few awesome characters. Han Solo (sounds creepily Chinese to me), Anakin, Obi Wan, Mace Windu, Darth Sidious and Yoda
Another reason that Lord of the Rings is better is because that Lord of the Rings has a better story, two hobbits set out to destroy a ring with a will of its own to defeat evil forever. Star Wars is basically about the destruction of a galactic empire. Politics never did no one any good.
Lord of the Rings has better awesome quotes, indeed Star Wars only has a few quotable quotes. Everybody in their life, in the proper situation, wants to yell, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" randomly at anything or anyone. The only quotable character in Star Wars is Darth Vader, which is permissible because Vader is badass.
Gandalf is better than Yoda. While this may spark a HUGE debate amongst Star Wars fans and Lord of the Rings fans, it is an undeniable fact that Gandalf would SLAUGHTER Yoda. Gandalf defeated a Balrog, cheated death, performed an exorcism on King Theoden, is amazing with a sword, and his clothes just look cooler. Not to mention that Gandalf is more intelligent and wise than Yoda.
Agree or disagree this is how I feel. ^.^
Now a few pictures to display Gandalf's awesomeness.
Update: Gandalf > Dumbledore
