As I was watching Star Wars for the nth time, my dad came, and said something like this:

"Haven't you noticed any similarities between Star Wars and Lotr?"

I replied: "Pa, they're both great movies..."

Then he told me something he'd read in the internet about Sauron, Darth Vader, Morgoth, the Emperor, Yoda, and Gandalf.

Similarities tween Sauron and D. Vader
1. They were once good, Vader being the former Anakin Skywalker and Sauron the former servant of Aule
2. They were both corrupted: Sauron by Melkor and Anakin by the Emperor

Similarities tween Morgoth and the Emperor
1. THEY'RE STRONG AND MIGHTY!!!
2. They were once good (at least, I think the emperor was once a Jedi)
3. They're very good in corrupting people's minds
4. They're EVIL and powerhungry and treacherous

Similarities tween Yoda and Gandalf
1. They're good
2. THey're OOOOLLLLLLDDDDD!!!!!!
3. They were part of councils of the great and wise
4. They're like guiding people, counselling against evil
5. They're damn good warriors
6. Yoda's strong with the Force and Gandalf is a Maia--don't that make em powerful?
7. They were never allied with evil....

Oh and I must add that I find something similar with Yoda's speech and Gollum's...

Forgiveness I must ask if posted already this thread has been... very curious I was, yess, precious!!!
