... Your Answer: Sorry to say but Star Wars will ALWAYS be better than lotr. In money wise Star Wars Broke so many records for the times the movies came out. And Star Wars held the highest grossing movie for over 20 years. And they also still have made more money than most of the lotr movies. And back in the 70's they didn't have all the TECHNOLOGY they have now. And the only reason lotr had the TECHNOLOGY is that Star Wars made the TECHNOLOGY for there films and let other films use it. The sound they used in lotr is made available by George Lucas and skywalker sound. And lotr will never make the money Star Wars did.
