Ringer: Besides the fact that your main cast of characters, even the BAD GUYS, were supposed to be from different planets, they were all human and basically the same race. The Fellowship alone had Dwarves, Elves, Hobbits, Men, and a Wizard. Your only main character who was non-human died.
Warsie: Wait, who?
Ringer: Chewbacca.
Warsie: He did n... Oh, good grief. How do you know all this?
Ringer: *evil laugh*


Warsie: We have an entire universe in our series.
Ringer: Yeah, but who created it?

Warsie: Three thousand years did not advance your technology; you still fight with swords, arrows, and spears!

Ringer: At least we had magic and Elves.

Warsie: The Force!

Ringer: So much for technology. =D

Ringer: Palpatine had only one guy in black suit and cool cape to do his dirty work, scare the bejeebers out of the good guys. Sauron had NINE of them.

Actually, I would say it is. So much more subtlety and style...it becomes clear which is the real thing and which is the cheap knock-off.

Warsie: The best villain in our fiction could wipe out entire planets for lunch!
Ringer: Oh yeah, Nihilus. Didn't he get killed by a middle-aged mercenary, a blind girl, and a Jedi who forgot how to hold his lightsaber?
Warsie: How do you guys know everything about both fictions!?
Ringer: We spend our time finding what we can use against you while you're all waiting for the new fake lightsabers to come out.
Warsie: Curse you addicting plastic weapons! Curse You!

This thread is fantastic!
Warsie: LOTR doesn't have any cool technology! It's stuck in medieval times, and they fight with swords!
Ringer: Star Wars has a ton of technology, and nevertheless the best fighters still fight with swords.


Warsie: I like Star Wars because it's so captivating!
Ringer: I love LOTR, because it is.
Warsie: Is what?
Ringer: It is.
