Star Wars vs. Lord of the Rings

**Cloud9Gal** · January 26th, 2010, 16:57

Ever wonder who would win the battle between a Jedi Knight and Frodo Baggins?

**Dain Arns** · January 26th, 2010, 17:02

No.

**Bjoern** · January 26th, 2010, 17:14

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.

Maybe if Galdalf helps him! There you go.

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:

Never underestimate the power of the Dark Side...

Want proof? Look at the leaders of this world's nations and at the captains of industry.

*now where did I put my lightsabre?*

Take care y'all!

Gollum might have a chance that ole boy can take a beatin kind of like Rocky plus he fights dirty

**Quixoticish** · January 27th, 2010, 00:43

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..

**Lionheart** · January 27th, 2010, 13:03

I never thought about that Ferry. Good point..

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 ...
