Anakin Skywalker kicked some Hobbit heinie.
In a cable battle of the trilogies, the Star Wars prequels dominated the Lord of the Rings movies, averaging on the whole nearly 1 million more viewers, the latest Nielsen Media Research stats show.
The showdown marked the first time Spike TV's Episode I-III films matched up against TNT's LOTR films in a chapter-for-chapter, night-for-night competition for bragging rights.
Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith, which aired Sunday night, led the way, averaging 4.2 million viewers, tops for a movie in all of cable. TNT's Sunday-night offering of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was nearly as big, averaging 4 million.
Elsewhere, it wasn't even close.
On Saturday, it was Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones (3.4 million) killing The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2 million). And on Friday, it was Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace (2.8 million) topping The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (1.9 million).
Both franchises seemed to hit a speed bump on Friday in the form of the fourth season premiere of Battlestar Galactica. The Sci Fi Channel series averaged 2.1 million viewers, up nearly 20 percent from its third season opener, the network said.
If it makes LOTR fans feel better, meanwhile, their beloved trilogy won 17 Oscars to the Star Wars prequels' zero.
Star Wars will always kick butt!!! We don't need no Oscars!!!!

As much as I love Star Wars, I would have to say it is so hard for me to decide which I like better between SW and LOTR. Its like comparing a T-Bone and a Porterhouse Steak. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I couldn't decide, so I flipped back and forth between comercials.
