Reasons why LOTR is better than Star Wars

I saw a posting elswhere on the Internet (Gasp! You mean there are other places on the Internet? Scary!!) where a clan of Star Wars fans (known as "warsies") and LOTR fans (known as "ringers") were engaged in a funny one-up contest over which series of movies was better. Here are some examples:
Warsie: In Star Wars, Christopher Lee was beaten by a butt-kicking Jedi named Yoda. In LOTR, he was beaten by a slow-moving tree named Treebeard.
Ringer: Gandalf's friend and ally who owed him a life debt was Gwahir Windlord, the noble king of the giant eagles. Qui Gon had Jar Jar.
Warsie: Cut off Sauron's hand, he goes home and spends thousands of years convalescing. Cut off Anakin's hand, he becomes a powerful Sith. Cut off his hand AGAIN, he single-handedly (ha!) defeats the evil Emperor.
Ringer: Galadriel was youthful and divinely beautiful despite being over 4000 years old. Yoda of the Jedi Council looked like death itself after a mere 900.
I know we can do better than this (although this was pretty good). Using the format above, tell us in your own words why LOTR is better than Star Wars!

I'm afraid I'm part Warsie (come on, Qui-Gon/Jar Jar? what about Han and Chewbacca!?) but I'll give this a spin anyway.

Ringer: Faramir and Eowyn both earn merit in battle, are wounded, and finally end up together in a blissful union in Ithilien, where both are beloved by Gondorians and Rohirrim alike. Anakin and Padme betray their respective Councils in order to get married, squabble a lot, and eventually both end up dead--after Anakin destroys the Galactic Republic.

Confusion

Warsie: Imagine the silly storyline. If it were like in your LotR, in our Star Wars Luke would've had to receive the Emperor from his father and then carried him all the way through all the Episodes, when in the end he would still throw him into that shaft.
Ringer: And what about your silly storyline? I don't like the idea of Frodo revealing that Gollum is his father, and in the end also that Sam is his sister!

ALSO

Warsie: Sarlacc is far bigger than Shelob, I am sure.
Ringer: Of course, but only because Ufthak wasn't a Bounty Hunter.

ALSO

Warsie: You have plenty of battles in Tolkien's books, but in comparison to all the intergalactic battles in Star Wars, they are all pretty insignificant.
Ringer: But it was the battle of Endor which decided it all.

Warsies: Use the Force, Luke!

Ringers: Do not use It, Frodo!

And...

Warsies: Luke, I am your father!

Ringers: He's my second cousin once removed on his mother's side, and my first cousin...

And...


Warsies: Join with me, Luke, and together we will rule this galaxy as father and son!

Ringers: You had better come live with me, Frodo my lad, and celebrate our birthdays comfortably together.

And...

Warsies: I've got a bad feeling about this...

Ringers: A shadow and a threat have been growing in my mind.

And...

Warsies: Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Ringers: Gandalf...yes, that was what they used to call me. Gandalf the Grey.

And...

Warsies:

Ben: You'll have to sell your speeder.
Luke
: That's okay. I'm never coming back to this planet again.

Ringers:

Frodo: I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again.


And...

Warsies: Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler. You gotta a lot of guts coming here after what you pulled.

Ringers: Gandalf, my old friend.

And...

Warsies: Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter!

Ringers: Who are you, yourself, alone, and nameless?

And...

Warsies: Good! Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you.

Ringers: Pity? It was Pity that stayed Bilbo's hand! Pity, and Mercy...

And...

Warsies: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

Ringers: In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit.


Er...sorry...some of this isn't very complimentary of LotR...

The 1,000 Reader is still gossiping in the Green Dragon.
Warsie: Emperor Palpatine did a ton of work himself, fooled the entire galaxy into giving him supreme power, made the Jedi nearly extinct, nearly killed Luke with lightning, and the only time he lost a fight was when he allowed himself to be beaten so that he could convert Anakin to the Dark Side. He could also wipe out three trained knights like they were nothing as an old man.

Ringer: Sauron was practically an angel, could change shape, and had a volcano in his home. He corrupted Numenor too.

Warsie: Yeah, Sauron was also humiliated by a dog, Numenor was already down a dark path, the Ring never helped him, two minor characters killed him when he had the Ring before the book took place, he had the hots for Galadriel once when in a sense she was his daughter, and Palpatine had Mustafar under his control. That whole planet's like Mount Doom's interior.

Ringer:...Morgoth-

Warsie:-You're talking about LOTR, not the Sil.

Honestly, I always saw Palpatine as the better villain, especially after reading about Sauron's loss to Huan.

Ringer: You are getting really boring with all this "Use the Force, Luke! Use the Force, Luke!"
Warsie: "Don't use the Ring, Frodo! Don't use the Ring, Frodo!"

One little bit different thing, but it came to my mind and just felt that it needs to be added:

(Barad-Dur throne room. The Mouth of Sauron and Frodo with chains on his hands enter.)
Sauron: Welcome, young Baggins. I've been expecting you. You no longer need those. (takes off the chains)
Mouth of Sauron: His Ring. (gives the One Ring to Sauron)
Sauron (examines the Ring): Ah, yes, a Ring of Power. Much like your father's.
Frodo: Is he really senile or what? It's YOUR ring! The one you've been looking for all the time! And besides, Bilbo was not my father, he was my uncle.

Warsie: Darth Vader, just before he died, was revealed to be an egg-headed pasty white man.
Ringer: The Witch-King frickin' IMPLODED, man!

And yet...

Ringer: Sauron could make you suffer you with just his eye.
Warsie: Darth Vader could kill you with his MIND.

Warsie: We have Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini. With a leash.

Pwn'd.

Oh, wait...*notes the thread title*...woops.

Hmm...I must agree with you on that Carrie Fisher part...

Ringer: After death, Men go back to Eru
Warsie: At least in Star Wars they still are able to help you after death

Padme thinks to herself, "How about not desert and attempt to kill me later on, hmm?"

Warsie: We have the Force.
Ringer: That is NOT a plus. Mystical blah-blah-blah.

~o~

Warsie: Obi-Wan sacrificed himself for his friends, was a great warrior, and a teacher of the Chosen One.
Ringer: What a spectacular teacher he was! His first pupil turned to the 'Dark Side', his second pupil had no more brains than a pin! He was also a liar. Gandalf sacrificed himself for his friends, was a great warrior, a great teacher, AND he told the truth!

~o~

Warsie: The Death Star's explosion.
Ringer: Gandalf's fireworks.

~o~

Warsie: The Jedi are for the good of all.
Ringer: The good guys in Lord of the Rings don't need commissions. They just do it.

~o~

Warsie: Palpatine transferred his spirit from one body to another.
Ringer: Classic comic-book death. Annoying, repetitive, and improbable.
Warsie: Gandalf was resurrected!
Ringer: That's different: Eru sent him back.
Warsie: I just can't win, can I?
Ringer: Nope!

Warsie: Yeah, those fans totally forget that Tolkien pretty much made his works fanfic proof. They're complete and written in solid stone.
