Fantastical Fights

Star Wars trumps every bit of the collective Star Trek, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Ring series. First of all, it is much more elaborate and creative than any of its competitors. Star Trek and Star Wars both deal with space travel and aliens, but Star Wars has more prominent alien characters such as Jabba the Hutt, Darth Maul, R2-D2, and Chewbacca. Harry Potter and Lord of the Ring both find concepts in unoriginal and overused themes. Witches, wizards, wands, dragons, orcs, goblins, really? Granted, LotR has "hobbits," but they are basically just short white people with harry feet. Star Wars brings the excitement of lightsabers and the "force" to the table. Not to mention countless themes throughout the movie series including family relationships, good and evil,  racing, beating impossible odds, and making certain that the girl you like isn't your sister. Honestly, how many times have you heard someone speak in a Yoda voice, do a Chewbacca call, make the Darth Vader breathing noises or uttered the famous words "May the force be with you." Compare that to how often you hear someone speaking "parseltongue," and you have your winner.
