I meant that Star Wars' storyline is generic. There's nothing too special about it, movies and books with the same general gist are a dime a dozen.

But yeah, the image comparison is kind of interesting.

I wonder if the reason that SW Episode I sucked so badly is if it took some ideals and ideas from Harry Potter and applied them to the SW universe.

It sucked because they had a small child and a vertical frog for main characters.

No you're right they aren't carbon copies.. and by no means was that a scientific dissection of why Star Wars and Fellowship of the Ring are they exact same movie... it was just something that pointed out things the average person probably never thought of.

Tolkien died before Star Wars was even made, Vega. It'd definitely be vice versa. I thought you were English? I really don't understand everyone's obession with picking apart the flaws of an interesting "study", if thats what you'd call it. This was posted on SWFans too, and was responded to in the same way.

The plots are basically the same. If you disagree it's probably because you are a nerd. It doesn't violate any artistic principles of a film or book series to be possessed of a generic plot: you may have noticed that Shakespeare never originated a single plotline, and that every love story in the past few centuries or so has basically stolen verbatim from Romeo and Juliet.

I'll stick to what I said about it being far-fetched. And no Gash, not everyone is nerd because they disagree with you.

People just have different insights then you and you tend to criticize them for there beliefs. Its like:

"O MY GOD!!1111LoLolLOLOLOL11 GASHHH IS LIEK THE CUULLLIST GIII ON TRFFF!!! O MY GOD!!!LOLOLOLO111!!!!!"

Spare me the lecture.
