Lord of the Rings is the better trilogy but it’s not really a fair competition. LOTR was planned and executed as a trilogy from the start. When they were making Star Wars nobody knew if it would be a success and if they would be able to make a second one. In my opinion Star Wars had a bigger impact on the development of special effects in general but both are milestones of movie history.
