Damn, that was a great film!! I can't wait to see the next two.

And the tragedy is that there was no earthly reason that the latest Star Wars trilogy could not have been just as good as the LOTR trilogy is stacking up to be.

I beg to disagree. Here's a reason why: SW was created by George Lucas; LotR by J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien was a genius who invented languages, peoples, invented mythologies out of his own head, and more, was grounded solidly in Western tradition thanks to a proper English education and a devout faith. Lucas is, well, - I don't know about him personally, but the world he created seem to me to be often shallow and worse, grounded on quicksand.

Besides, Hobbits are infinitely preferable to Ewoks.
