Well, first of all, “LOTR” and “Star Wars” share a long list of structural and thematic similarities. They’re both mythical creature fantasies hell bent on rescuing good from the clutches of evil. Both feature circumstantial heroes who make Oz-like journeys and come of age in the process. For example, in Star Wars, you’ve got a protagonist living away from the troubles of the world and is pointed to adventure by an old man who has great power, and he must battle against a great evil by destroying his instrument of destructive force. LOTR has a protagonist living away from the troubles of the world and is pointed to adventure by an old man who has great power, and he must battle against a great evil by

destroying his instrument of destructive force… Now, for the differences:

Okay, maybe the scenery’s in LOTR is a notch better than that in Star Wars. But, of course you can’t blame George Lucas for making a film in the 1980’s, and if the majority of the film is set in space… What could he do to change the scenery? Light up a few more stars? Add a wormhole in the background?

That’s the first sentence of what is supposed to be the greatest tale of all times. And it’s supposed to be an epic adventure too… I had the courage and free time (and folly) to read the whole book and can advise you to skip the first 500 pages of the book if ever you are mad enough to try reading that out. I don’t care what people say of Tolkien’s imagination, but I think he’s a degenerate lunatic who had more free time than me to write a book in which he would invent 2 new languages and spoil the ending after months of gruelsome battles.
