  Do you have data to support that claim?
context: I feel like this is just a fact. >
  
  Yea like this is as much a fact of life as death and taxes
  LOTR is the goat trilogy (Back to the Future second place)
  In regards to OP's comment "Not just the trilogy as a whole, but each chapter of the LOTR trilogy is a superior film to any Star Wars film" - i would maybe argue Empire is at least on par with the Fellowship (despite fellowship being my personal favourite of the three, I do concede its probably the weakest of the trilogy) >
  
  This is a fascinating thread & comments section honestly, people trying to objectively compare Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars
  Like what a disservice to all three franchises by trying to paint them all with the same brush
  These movies can't be compared, it's kinda embarrassing and telling of everyones understanding of cinema to see this happening here lmfao
  The only thing they have in common is that they're a trilogy.  One is a time travel series, one is a space scifi adventure epic, and one is a medieval fantasy epic
  Like yikes guys lol >
  
  Is this unpopular? I hope not. >
  
  It may not be. I feel like I just came to the realization after watching them again. Hadn't watched them in years. They are superior in nearly every way. >
  
  Common knowledge >
  
  The fact that RotK got 10 oscars proves your opinion is actually popular. downvoted >
  
  Downvoted because not unpopular >
  
  Downvoted you because based on box office, cultural impact, and almost any other metric, Star Wars is by far the more popular trilogy. >
  
  What box office numbers do you compare? Here I can see Star Wars making 475k-775k original, 656k-1M prequels, and the Disney trilogy 1-2M. All LOTR and Hobbit movies made 900k-1M. So, on average per movie LOTR is higher.
  Cultural impact. How do you compare? Star Wars VS LOTR movies? Or LOTR book? If you include book then all modern fantasy stem from LOTR. >
  
  But also, so many more people could name five characters from Star Wars and not LOTR and not care about either
  Edit: with relation to the cultural impact thing
