Well I just noticed that actually, LOTR is a hell of a lot like the Star Wars trilogy....get this...
Frodo/Luke: Noble, bold heroes who arent actually half as interesting as everyone else...
Sam/The Force: The heroes trusty sidekick, who always does as he's told...
Boromir/Lando Calrissian: Charming ruffians who may, just may, turn on their fellows...Also fights with one one the below.
Aragorn/Han Solo: The tough guy with manly stubble, does a lot of fighting and who EVENTUALLY gets the girl...Also fights with one of the above.
Arwen/Leia: Annoyingly pretty/perfect gals who eventually get hitched to one of the above...
Gandalf/Obi Wan: Old beardy ones, who snuff it in the fist film only to come back....
Merry and Pip/R2 and C3PO: The INCREDIBLY annoying comedy duo who manage to get everyone else in trouble...
Saruman/Jabba: Decoy villians who really make a mess of things
Watcher in the Water/Sarlaac: Nasty greeblie with tentacles. Ick.
Bilbo/Owen lars: Grumpy old sods...
Orcs/Stormtroopers: Army of the villain. Lucky they couldnt hit the broadside of a barn then really.....
Uruk Hai/TIE fighters: SLightly better fighters. Still easy to kill though....
Hordes of mad obsessive fans/Hordes of mad obsessive fans.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
