Star Wars Versus Lord of The Rings- Which has Had the Bigger Impact

During a short break I overheard three guys discussing whether Star Wars or Lord of the Rings had the bigger impact upon our society. And it occurred to me that I could be one of the people in that discussion.

I could spend time considering what it all means to the world. I could discuss the chicken and egg aspect of it, did you need LOTR to create Star Wars. FWIW, I think not.

I could spend time discussing who is the bigger hero, Luke versus Frodo and enjoy myself. As well as I could debate whether it would be better to be Chewbacca or Yoda versus Aragorn or Gandalf.

And the truth is that one day I just might do it.
