You didn't specify whether you were a fan of LOTR books or films.
Probably both. But when it comes to films, Star Wars is so much better than LOTR.
And I like LOTR.

Some of the Star wars novels are pretty damn great also. Especially since they don't have much to do with george lucas but I like lucas anyways so that's not a big issue.

sorry, i like star wars but.... Just no. there is no comparison.

And Irish people have done more than soap!
Guinness is cool though.

It was a joke..im not even sure if Irish Spring soap is Irish or not. Could be an american made soap which gives it even more ironic humor. As far as the beer well...

Emphasis on "some". I've read a lot of them and the majority are just okay. A fair amount of them would have been worth more as just paper and ink. Crystal Star? Darksaber? Utter ****. And they made Luke into a boring, whiny ass philosphical masturbater who's too busy worrying about the dark side to do anything useful. And is it too much to ask to actually have dark jedi or sith in any of the story lines that actually fight jedi? Shooting a dark jedi with a blaster without even so much as a single lightsaber battle is just balls.

that's the path that Luke was heading on. I could see him growing up as a Jedi to become just like that. I personally like Jaina, Jacen and Anakin. The children of Han and leia.

Yeah, it made sense the way he evolved as a character, but that didn't make it any less boring. Mara Jade was too cool a character to be tied down to a dud like Luke.
