"I'll bite your legs off!" :icon_lol:

Anyway, both Star Wars and LotR are about a young peasant with a magical sword who, with the help of a wizard, defeats the dark lord.

Someone wrote a story once with generic terms and asked people to tell if it was the storyline of SW or LotR; turned out the story would fit both movies..

BINGO !!!

BIG question: was Revan male or female ???

Dunno, in the Wookiepedia, Revan is male but the Exile is female. I always played both of them them as male, as for seduction of Bastila and Visas. :d

I wonder if you can seduce them too when you're female. I know that the modern Bioware games make same-sex relationships possible, but KotoR I and II...

this is part of the archetype of the hero's journey that is a constant in many of the most famous and popular epic tales and in many myths throughout history as outlined by joseph campbell in a great book called "the hero with a thousand faces" ( george lucas was a big fan of campbell's work and the two of them were good friends as well ) .
it usually starts with the hero seemingly being a common man , in a life which leaves him unsatisfied and who feels he is destined for greatness . a tragedy leads him on a path to his destiny that will lead him to being a leader . during his travels , he will be led by a wiser old "role model" type who will depart fairly early on and will be joined by a diverse group of people to help him . he will be faced by many difficult choices in which the fate of his companions and the world will depend ...
you can see that in characters such as luke/anakin skywalker , frodo , kirk in the new star trek movie , king arthur in the classic tales of the knights of the round table ...

Ever wonder who would win the battle between a Jedi Knight and Frodo Baggins?

Figured it out.

Neither.

Jedi's abhor violence, and only use it as a last resort.
Hobbits are the same. Peaceful folk.

Both would agree not to fight, head to the local Pub, and get tanked. :icon_lol:

Ta-da! :guinness:
 
Yeah,
"A long, long time ago in a galaxie far, far away, there was a magic ring." Just don't capture my imagination.

As much as I enjoy LOTR and am really into that sort of questing and the like, I'm gonna have to favor the jedi ... Frodo had no real special abilities other than being able to bear the ring.

Moreover, would they ever fight each other?

Jedi philosophy and Hobbit culture say they would meet at the bar and have a beer!

Cheers,

Somehow I missed this first time around. :jump:

I think since it was C9G who asked, the winner probably gets to carry her off and live happy ever after. So, wouldn't that would throw a monkey wrench into your theory Dain? When the stakes are high enough... and from what I see in here, getting C9G is pretty high stakes. :salute:

The Jedi, pre-Luke Skywalker, do not endorse marriage. But Luke, realizing how that celebecy stuff screwed up his dad, had none of it for himself!

So, it depends upon which generation you are speaking when you determine who "gets the girl!"

During the Yoda years, Frodo has the girl. After, it might be a tossup.

Ken

Technically, Samwise was the only one to get the girl in the end. Bag End. :icon_lol:
( A joke for the Tolkien fans.)
 
Well I gress everyone knows who's side I am on..

But Since it has become a Fight for C9G..
Bring on those Low life Jedi scum..

Getting my Mithril out and my sword sharpened..
Polished my armour, and have my ring..

For the Lady of the sky, C9G a Hobbit will make a stand..

That is after dinner..
and pehaps a bit of pipe weed and good Hobbit Mead..

WOW talked myself in to a PARTY..
Got to Go..
 
the Q would simply snap his fingers and turn their weapons into party favors, or maybe he would have two peaceful peoples go at it if it suited his amusement. :D But hey, Q did know how to have a good time as he showed those stuffy fleeters now and then. :)
