considering that The Lord of the Rings is a BOOK and actually is in 6 "books" split between 3 volumes, I don't think it belongs in the same category of comparison with movie trilogies that were originally written for the screen (star wars, indiana jones, etc). This is important because while the book is one of the greatest stories of all time, the movies (other than Fellowship, which almost got it right) were AWFUL and completely failed to capture the important parts of the book, favoring the usual special effects bash instead of preserving the personalities of the characters intact from the book. Also, the book pisses all over everything else that's been mentioned in this thread.

What got me thinking of this is this site about the Sith:
http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/sith1.htm
I didn't realize how far back the Star Wars, Force thing went back...
after reading... I thought the Sith were actually pretty cool and Jedi's were a bunch of... well... soccer players!
(RAIDER NATION!!!)
ps... if you haven't figured it out, the raider nation is my safty wink until i find one of those happy things for it
