LOL it is true that JK Rowling based alot of her ideas from Lord of the Rings like Gandalf/Dumbledore and Aragog/Shelopf(the spider), but it still doesn't stop each of them being as awesome as each other as each author brought something new :)
Well, Voldemort isn't Harry's father. We already knew Harry's father, James Potter and Voldemort's original self is Tom Riddle. Vader didn't spoil Order of the Pheonix. However, Vader may have spoiled Empire Strikes Back but that was spoiled so many times and parodied alot, so Vader didn't spoil anything.
"Oh, damn, that's really spoiled the ending of the 5th book for people, hasn't it?"
(Presuming this was made aroung the time or soon after the 5th book came out,) I wonder how many people laughed, then got a horrible chill run down their spines as they flipped ahead several chapters just to check... After all, those three series are otherwise nearly identical. :P
@DragonSporks Naah, when Darth Vader mentions the 5th book, its the Star Wars Episode V that he referes, and not Harry Potter & The Order of the phoenix!
@Tacroy Actually Lord of the Rings was written before any of those came out, even the first Star Wars. Everything else just ripped it off. Tolkien took a lot of his material from mythology and such but made his own world out of it. HP, Twilight, and all that are weak attempts at being as brilliant as the world of "Middle Earth" is, and fails miserably. LotR is the best.
@byuftbl Not sure if you've watched Star Wars, or read/watched Harry Potter, but they're nothing alike. You can hardly call them rip-offs of Lord of the Rings
@Whydoesthissitesuck Yes to seeing Star Wars-its different in that its a different story set in a different time, but BOTH Lord of the Rings and Star Wars have a lot of influence of myths such as Norse myths, Greek myths, etc. Don't even get me started on HP...at any rate all three are at the very BASIC the same-the reluctant one is forced into being a hero through circumstances often beyond control, despite his wish of just wanting to have a normal life. LotR was just the first out of SW/HP.
@byuftbl They have similarities within the stories, but to call them rip-offs of Lotr is too far -- they are far too different. And its not like Lotr was the first story ever to have the reluctant protagonist forced off on a journey guided by an old man who then dies but eventually triumphs.
That is a basic plot that is a thousand years old, so i really don't think Lotr can be considered its inventer ><
Even though I haven't read or watched Lord of the Rings, I knew enough to notice the similarities! It's really amazing when you compare them in this way! XD
pff, this isn't funny. so the joke is that these are similar? every work of fiction has similarities - look up tvtropes. there are only so many original ideas in the world.
An Evil Lord (Working for a even more evil overlord) captures a beautiful princess and it's up to the hero and his trusted band of rebels to save the day.

I don't care about Ahsoka! She may have had some important roles in the Clone War campaigns, but if you watched the fourth movie, you would already know that thing was won! Wait a sec, there's still one more thing! In the 2nd episode Anikin started on the road to the dark side when his mother died! That really affected his war tactics, He was much more brutal to the enemy. But in this series he's the cheeriest son of a bitch I have ever seen! Oh and Ahsoka died, It's obvious
Now, when Shmi died, that naturally affected Anakin, but when he slaughtered all those Tusken Raiders, he wasn't evil, just incredibly angry. As for him being cheery, well, watch the first half hour of Episode 3; he's bantering and smiling quite a lot.
How so "obvious?" Probable, yes, but "obvious?" Like I said, the tale of her final fate has not yet been told.
@kathydacat Why on earth would you think Merlin (TV Show) and Torchwood are at all similar, because they have absolutely nothing in common? No offence, they just don't. I like both (but Merlin more). Also they both have similarities to completely different things. What with Merlin being based off of the Arthurian legends and Smallville (TV show), and Torchwood having been influenced by many things. But I can't see why you'd say there are noticeable similarities between the two.
@lildevil4everaneva Similar in tone and archetype, in Series One. Both Gwens are incredibly similar, and some of the archetypes, like the man with all the power who's treat like furniture = Merlin/Ianto, Snarky doctor = Gaius/Owen, Female Anti-Hero to Out and Out Villain - Suzie/Morgana. Tone is the most though, although Torchwood is darker, it still has the same silly humour at times. They've become more similar in tone during Series Four of Merlin though. Just pointing out how silly it is to
@kathydacat say works are ripped off each other, just because they're similar. You can pick any book and compare it to any film and pick out loads of similarities, it's the way of the world. Give me Torchwood and, say, of Mice and Men, and I could find at least ten.
@kathydacat Sorry but to me Gaius is nothing like Owen at all, Suzie nothing like Morgana, Merlin absolutely nothing like Ianto and the shows humour is really different from each other. Torchwood isn't a dark show, it has violence and sex in it, but it's not a dark show. Sorry but I simply don't think any of the characters are alike at all. Gwen isn't like Gwen either, though both are 'heart' in the group, G from TW is more controlling and self centred. G from Merlin is more quiet & gentle.
@kathydacat Ianto doesn't have any power, he's smart and organized but doesn't really have any control or particularly interesting skills and his personality doesn't resemble Merlin's at all. Gaius can be snarky but is no where near as cynical as Owen. Certainly don't see any similarities from S4 of Merlin either. No offence though, I just don't think any of them have enough in common w/each other to ever think of any as similar at all. Guess it's pretty clear which show I like better though. :P
@kathydacat I wasn't saying anything was ripping off of anything by mentioning Smallville & the legends, as the idea of the show has been said by the creators to have been inspired by that show and obviously by the legends themselves. Though by mentioning that I think you mean what you were saying in earlier comments before replying to me. :)
Did they explain what happened to Ahsoka after the clone wars!? Did they explain why Ahsoka was never even mentioned in the original clone wars that was shown on the old cartoon network in 2004?! Did they explain why everyone in the series has the maturity of 12 year olds?! DID THEY EXPLAIN WHY GEORGE LUCAS DIDNT MAKE THAT DAMN THING BEFORE THE THIRD EPISODE?!
"The man was once a director, but that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. He took something that meant a lot to fans and turned it into an experiment for revolutionary recognition." If the fucker doesn't want to drop the clone wars and make the last trilogy then he should stop making movies all together. Do you think fans of da Vinci would like it if some asshole painted over The Mona Lisa to try to make it better?
"Star Wars" is George Lucas's creation, which he can do with as he pleases. Do you know how heavily reworked "The Lord of the Rings" was before Tolkien was satisfied with it?
As for Leonardo ("his name was not "da Vinci," that was just referring to his hometown), if HE HIMSELF wanted to revise "La Gioconda," that would be his right, him having painted her in the first place.
That's artists, my boy; they're perfectionists, every one of 'em.
Lol, I bet those american wankers don't even know how badly we're making fun of thier books and movies here. England shall always have the best books becuase we dont waste our time ruining them by making movies based off them. We will always have the classics like "High Expectations" and "Sherlock Holmes", wait a sec, sherlock homes, oh f***! ahhhhh f*** f*** f*** f***! those yankees turned it into an action film! I declare war!
Ha, the whole Harry Potter stuff may be good, but the Americans can never capture the true meaning of being British. They abandoned the British part of their souls when they left the country and took over the New World.
@vunix1234567890 O.O dude... obviously im american and im like an anglophile. I wish i lived in GB. what an ignorant comment. You think just because a bunch of your own people left your country hundreds of years ago doesnt mean we have the same feelings about it now! that is meerly pure arrogence! we are allies! if you believe differently, then take it up with another country!
@bhnub i agree with you, ive spoken with americans and alot of them say they are happy in enlgand, hate america or want to go to britian. But stupid decisions from hundreds of years ago are irrelevant now.

As for why she wasn't in the cell animated series, the answer is simple: that all took place before the CGI series.
Don't get your "maturity" crack.
Finally, he didn't make it before because he made it after.

"The man was once a director, but that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. He took something that meant a lot to fans and turned it into an experiment for revolutionary recognition." If the fucker doesn't want to drop the clone wars and make the last trilogy then he should stop making movies all together. Do you think fans of da Vinci would like it if some asshole painted over The Mona Lisa to try to make it better?

All right, my friend, you are bang out of order.
"Star Wars" is George Lucas's creation, which he can do with as he pleases. Do you know how heavily reworked "The Lord of the Rings" was before Tolkien was satisfied with it?
As for Leonardo ("his name was not "da Vinci," that was just referring to his hometown), if HE HIMSELF wanted to revise "La Gioconda," that would be his right, him having painted her in the first place.
That's artists, my boy; they're perfectionists, every one of 'em.

Lol, I bet those american wankers don't even know how badly we're making fun of thier books and movies here. England shall always have the best books becuase we dont waste our time ruining them by making movies based off them. We will always have the classics like "High Expectations" and "Sherlock Holmes", wait a sec, sherlock homes, oh f***! ahhhhh f*** f*** f*** f***! those yankees turned it into an action film! I declare war!

I agree, except I like the fourth one. Order of the Phoenix and Prisoner of Azkaban were downright horrible.

Nicely done.
Ha, the whole Harry Potter stuff may be good, but the Americans can never capture the true meaning of being British. They abandoned the British part of their souls when they left the country and took over the New World.

@vunix1234567890 O.O dude... obviously im american and im like an anglophile. I wish i lived in GB. what an ignorant comment. You think just because a bunch of your own people left your country hundreds of years ago doesnt mean we have the same feelings about it now! that is meerly pure arrogence! we are allies! if you believe differently, then take it up with another country!

um, Saruman doesn't kill Frodo's father, and Sauron isn't him, so, what the hell. Also, the actor who played Gandalf is still alive.
