Fellowship of the Clones...startling similarities to other flicks.... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Anything but Arwen · 01-09-2003, 07:59 AM

Well I just noticed that actually, LOTR is a hell of a lot like the Star Wars trilogy....get this...
Frodo/Luke: Noble, bold heroes who arent actually half as interesting as everyone else...
Sam/The Force: The heroes trusty sidekick, who always does as he's told...
Boromir/Lando Calrissian: Charming ruffians who may, just may, turn on their fellows...Also fights with one one the below.
Aragorn/Han Solo: The tough guy with manly stubble, does a lot of fighting and who EVENTUALLY gets the girl...Also fights with one of the above.
Arwen/Leia: Annoyingly pretty/perfect gals who eventually get hitched to one of the above...
Gandalf/Obi Wan: Old beardy ones, who snuff it in the fist film only to come back....
Merry and Pip/R2 and C3PO: The INCREDIBLY annoying comedy duo who manage to get everyone else in trouble...
Saruman/Jabba: Decoy villians who really make a mess of things
Watcher in the Water/Sarlaac: Nasty greeblie with tentacles. Ick.
Bilbo/Owen lars: Grumpy old sods...
Orcs/Stormtroopers: Army of the villain. Lucky they couldnt hit the broadside of a barn then really.....
Uruk Hai/TIE fighters: SLightly better fighters. Still easy to kill though....
Hordes of mad obsessive fans/Hordes of mad obsessive fans.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nimrothiel · 01-09-2003, 08:14 AM

Whoa, that's freaky. If you have seen TTT, I noticed that in one spot in the Dead Marshes Gollum sounds like Yoda.
"Yes, yes." I dunno, maybe it's just me... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

ElentariGreenleaf · 01-09-2003, 01:55 PM

I noticed that. Wow, I didn't know who half those StarWars ppl were! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

maikafanawen · 01-09-2003, 06:44 PM

I thought that The Fellowship of the Ring was somewhat like Willow. I can't give like exact examples but they were very much alike I thought. This doesn't go for movies but as far as books are concerned. The Lord of the Rings series by Tokien are VERY similar to the Shannara series by Terry Brooks. (The Shannara series are VERY VERY good by-the-way)

Merry · 01-09-2003, 08:42 PM

Hey!! Merry and Pippin aren't annoying. So anyway

Those were pretty good analogies. Did you guys notice that when Gandalf and Obi-won "die" they kinda do it in the same way. Did you notice the way Obi-won looks at Luke and Gandalf to Frodo before either of them die of fall. It's seems like it's got te same feeling and style. They both do it to help the "hero". And they are both responded with a loud NO! of some kind.

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 01-10-2003, 05:28 PM

yeah, how dare u say theyre annoying! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] lol.

ahh! i noticed that too. i whispered it to my friend, it bugs me. lol.

Rose Cotton · 01-10-2003, 06:33 PM

The only connection I make between Star Wars and Lord of the Rings is Chistopher Lee's roles in both films. Saruman that Count guy from Star Wars have so much in common.

Thulorongil · 01-10-2003, 06:37 PM

Yoda is almost an Elrond...

And Eowyn's transformation from girly to sheildmaiden is similar to Padme Amidala's sudden warrior princess state of mind.

No wait, that would be more of Tolkien's Arwen to PJ's Arwen

Gorwingel · 01-11-2003, 01:39 AM

The reason why there is so many similarities, is that George Lucas said that one of his main inspirations for Star Wars was the LOTR novels. It is not that the LOTR movie makers copied Star Wars, it is that the Star Wars movie makers copied LOTR books.

LePetitChoux · 01-11-2003, 05:52 AM

This is a leeeetle weeny bit like a thread I started ages ago. Read it for enlightenment, my child. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Anything but Arwen · 05-08-2003, 06:45 AM

ok, ok, but i was kinda proud of thinking of some of those...

Ainaserkewen · 05-08-2003, 10:08 AM

Some of my Harry potter clone ideas
-Harry/Frodo both have unruly black hair.
-Dementors/ringwraiths need I say more?
-Sauron/Voldemort (he who must not be named) and the fact that they both are not physical and are trying to get back to power.
-Gimli/Hagrid just the accent maybe.

I know I know more but I can't remember them, I'll be back.

Trippo The Hippo · 05-08-2003, 10:54 AM

I have always noticed that the third in the trilogy of lotr is, "Return of the King," and the third in the trilogy of star wars is "Return of the Jedi".

GaladrieloftheOlden · 05-08-2003, 11:03 AM

That's funny.
Both Gimli (movie one) and Ron do things that are supposed to be funny at totally random times. Except I think Ron is funny [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] , and Gimli, err, isn't.

~Menelien

Rynoah, the Overly-Happy · 05-08-2003, 12:07 PM

What's wrong with Gimli? Really; I liked him.

Anyway, I noticed the similarities as well, though not as you did. I was thinking more along the lines of "Darth Vader is the Witch King" and such. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I have to agree, also, the mirror of Galadriel/Erised...
Um...Ring which makes you invisible/cloak which...doea too.
And does anyone else see odd resemblences between Elrond and Dumbledore??(slightly detatched, wise advisers to heroes)
And Snape/Saruman (not the evil-est but not good)
Ok...I'll shut up now!

Malfoy's dad/Legolas
Dobby/Gollum
Troll/Cave troll

And someone mentioned this the other day to me- can you see Hagrid as Tom Bombadil??

Gorwingel · 05-08-2003, 09:47 PM

Well during the first Harry Potter movie I found it to be strikingly similar to FOTR. Two young people suddenly receiving very serious responsiblities, and learning serious things about the past, and having to leave on a kind of quest with a group of friends. Though during TTT and Chamber of Secrets the parallel stories kind of seperated.

Additionally Harry and Frodo kind of always did those "What should I do?" looks with the big round eyes [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Anything but Arwen · 05-09-2003, 06:42 AM

I always thought Dobby just looked like a cross between (brace yerselfs) Gollum and Yoda. Honest.
Boy, thats disturbing...

Tinuviel of Denton · 05-09-2003, 10:04 AM

HOW DARE YOU COMPARE LOTR TO HARRY POTTER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
*sputters incoherently*

~Shelob/Aragog
~Wormtongue/Wormtail
~Huorns/Whomping Willow

Salix · 05-09-2003, 05:01 PM

ohh I compltely agree with you Tinuviel! how dare they compare LoTR to HP?!?!?!?!?! LOTR IS WAY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 05-09-2003, 05:39 PM

Why is it that everybody compares LOTR to HP?!?!?! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] That gets on my nerves!!!! Anyway, I think that everybody copied LOTR. HP, Star Wars, everything is a copy of our wonderful LOTR. And we, my friends, are obssessed with the popular thing that everyone copies. How special. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Tinuviel of Denton · 05-09-2003, 10:24 PM

I'm not going to be obsessed with LotR anymore because who wants to be like everybody else? No, wait. LotR is too cool not to be obsessed. Never mind.

Thank you, ElenCala Isil and Luthien_Tinuviel, for agreeing with me about LotR and HP. (BTW, I'm mad at you 'cause you got here first, Luthien. Not really [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Opinion matter.

Wow, I never even thought about Aragog and Shelob... and Aragog sounds a bit like Aragorn... and how about Wormtongue and Wormtail? Boy, you can think of good comparisons at nearly 2 am [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 05-10-2003, 08:29 PM

Galadriel, why are you always at the Barrow-downs early in the morning? Everything you post seems be be accompanied by "It's 2 am" or something like that. Just wondering. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lyra Greenleaf · 05-11-2003, 01:50 PM

This topic is quite strange in that people seem to be saying how LOTR is like HP/Star wars when it should be them which are like LOTR- which was written 50 years ago!

Oh, and I don't know who said it, but Eowyn hardly starts out "girly"- she wears dresses, yes, but her state of mind is far from girly!

Tinuviel of Denton · 05-11-2003, 10:12 PM

I agree completely, Lyra. Well, all except for the HP is like LotR part. Those two are not even in the same class. (Guess which one I think is in the higher class.)

BTW, I like your sig.

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 05-12-2003, 06:38 PM

Of course LOTR is FAR above HP!
that's because HP is all plageurized!!!!!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] (sorry about that).

Tinuviel of Denton · 05-12-2003, 11:51 PM

Not to mention the poor writing style. My sister (not Durlossiel, this one's 11) can do better, and has.

Sapphire_Flame · 05-13-2003, 03:01 PM

*raises an eyebrow* Really, Tinuviel? That's pretty cool.

Tinuviel of Denton · 05-13-2003, 06:54 PM

I think so.

balrogman · 05-13-2003, 07:01 PM

wow its been a while since i posted...i always thought of sam as wedge, the guy whos lukes friend from tatooine, but harry potter shouldnt be compared to LotR, not even in the same league. i enjoyed HP, but its not even close

Well, all except for the HP is like LotR part. Those two are not even in the same class. (Guess which one I think is in the higher class.) BTW, I like your sig.
