    Depends on who the Jedi is.
    Vader, Skywalker -> no.
    Nihilus, Revan -> yes.

    Ok, how can nasty little hobitses beat a Jedi? Maybe if Galdalf helps him! At least Gandalf has that magic stick that fires photon torpedoes. Maybe then. Frodo doesn't even has The Precious, so he can't even make us disappear! I'm afraid a Jedi will ruin Frodo's day.

    As much as I enjoy LOTR and am really into that sort of questing and the like, I'm gonna have to favor the jedi ... Frodo had no real special abilities other than being able to bear the ring.

    I think the underlying question is,

    Can a Star Wars nerd beat up a Lord of the Rings nerd?

    or:

    Who's more nerdy?

    Let the games begin!!:ernae:

    Anyway, both Star Wars and LotR are about a young peasant with a magical sword who, with the help of a wizard, defeats the dark lord.

    Someone wrote a story once with generic terms and asked people to tell if it was the storyline of SW or LotR; turned out the story would fit both movies..

    Dunno, in the Wookiepedia, Revan is male but the Exile is female. I always played both of them them as male, as for seduction of Bastila and Visas. :d

    I wonder if you can seduce them too when you're female. I know that the modern Bioware games make same-sex relationships possible, but KotoR I and II...

    this is part of the archetype of the hero's journey that is a constant in many of the most famous and popular epic tales and in many myths throughout history as outlined by joseph campbell in a great book called "the hero with a thousand faces" ( george lucas was a big fan of campbell's work and the two of them were good friends as well ) .
    it usually starts with the hero seemingly being a common man , in a life which leaves him unsatisfied and who feels he is destined for greatness . a tragedy leads him on a path to his destiny that will lead him to being a leader . during his travels , he will be led by a wiser old "role model" type who will depart fairly early on and will be joined by a diverse group of people to help him . he will be faced by many difficult choices in which the fate of his companions and the world will depend ...
    you can see that in characters such as luke/anakin skywalker , frodo , kirk in the new star trek movie , king arthur in the classic tales of the knights of the round table ...
    "Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the State becomes lawless or, which is the same thing, corrupt."
    Mahatma Gandhi

    those who would trade freedom in order to get safety deserve neither
