Star Wars, without a doubt in the world. Lucas created modern mythology (and did a damned fine job of it in IV & V), while Jackson adapted Tolkein's modern mythology.

Star Wars was new, fresh, exciting, and bloody brilliant, just as Tolkein's work was when it published.

I'll take something original over an adaptation. Especially something as incredible as Star Wars. If you were to compare the LotR books to Star Wars, on the other hand...

Basically my reasoning.

Though i'd take Star Wars over the LotR books as well... really influential... but they spend way to much time on descriptors.  Not a fan of the "Lets pretend the person who's reading this has zero imagination about anything" style of writing.
