Truth is, as Boromir similarly stated, that these are two epic stories and those who look for parallels are bound to find something similar. Now if there was an all powerful "force" in Middle-earth or that to be the Sith Master you needed to posses a certain object that would complete your power, then you'd have some real parallels to analyze. As it is, we really have two stories of good and evil competing where some are lost to the evil and some evil come over to the good.
