They're too different to compare. (Thebonly thing in common is that they're both trilogies)

The impact of Star Wars on the Sci Fi genre can't be ignored but I'd say the LOTR had a much bigger impact on movies in general.

As someone who prefers The Lord of the Rings, I would actually say this isn't true. I think if we talk in terms of influence, Star Wars had been incomprably more influential. Even fantasy films more often remind me of Star Wars than of The Lord of the Rings.

The Lord of the Rings was just too gigantic and sui generis.
