Issue:

Ok I have to issue a disclaimer right now.  This is probably the nerdiest campaign I have ever created but I think it is important.  I was first made aware of this issue while watching the movie Clerks II.  In the film the characters get into a heated argument about the supremacy of either Lord of The Rings or Star Wars.  Choosing both is not an option!

Belief:

            Star Wars a New Hope, originally titled Star Wars was released on May 25^th 1977.  Since then the saga was completed by two sequels and 3 prequels detailing the lives of Anakin Skwalker, and later, in Star Wars time, his son Luke Skywalker.  This movie started a movement that still lives on today.  So prevalent is this pop culture icon in our society that a recent religion pole taken in England yielded a very high percentage of the answer Jedi.  Next to the main story of coming of age and the duality of man you have two love stories, multiple star battles, and an overwhelmingly striking social commentary.

               The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was released December 19, 2001.  This highly anticipated adaptation of the work of J.R.R. Tolkien brought the stories, which many around the world had grown up reading, to life on the silver screen.  In this saga Frodo Baggins must transport a powerful ring to the fiery, hell like, pit from whence it was created.  The problem is that the ring is evil and it can take power over people and he has to take it a long distance through many obstacles while the main evil of Middle Earth is trying to bring about a, kind of, apocalypse with these demon type things called Orks.  You also have a disenfranchised king, tons of elves (the big kind not like Christmas), a spunky dwarf and a wizard that bears an uncanny resemblance to magneto.  They of course also have epic battles.

            So here is the simple vote.  Once and for all, in your heart of hearts, which to you prefer?
