Just wait, the Halo universe will expand even more and soon there will be a movies series... *gag*
As do I, since I own a (probably cheap imitation) of Glamdring. (That's Gandalf's sword, for those not big on details)WolfEdge said:I beg to differ, sir. I happen to have Sting mounted to my wall.and they don't sell any kind of LotR weapons.
See, now the lack of Maple Leaf Powas is an topic I can get behind!nin_ninja said:Well I AM Canadian, but I just needed something to put on the end of the title to draw attention. I could complain about how none of the characters have MAPLE LEAF POWAS but that would be boring.
really? these are books that are written for kids that introduce them to complicated topics like friendship, loyalty, compassion, revenge, honor, integrity ... these are topics some adults struggle with.PoisonUnagi said:Harry Potter competes, but I have no idea why. Harry Potter is a terrible setting with terrible dialogue coming from terribly acted terrible characters in a terribly written terrible plotline... actually, just replace 'terrible' with an expletive of your choice.
Warcraft (including books, comic books, all the games/expansions, upcoming moving, etc.), if you judge by the number of players on Warcraft III and World of Warcraft.nin_ninja said:What are your guys thoughts on this. Am I full of bull, and if so what are some other series that could compete with Star Wars?
No you don't...I do.WolfEdge said:I beg to differ, sir. I happen to have Sting mounted to my wall.and they don't sell any kind of LotR weapons.

Well depending on how well the movie goes Issac Asimov's Foundation series could rival it. The books have a daft amount of detail and there are many other series of his that link into it nicely, and theres plenty of room for expansion in the series.nin_ninja said:No matter how you feel about George Lucas, the expanded universe, or midichlorians, you have to admit that not only is Star Wars a license to print money but it is also one of the biggest and most influential franchises of all time.
From the movies that defined a generation to video games that are considered classics of their time, everywhere that Star Wars has stuck its lightsabers it has made money. Not everything they have done has been successful obviously, but on the whole they have sold tons of novels, comics, games, DVDs, tv shows and toys.
I'm not a huge Star Wars fan (I know Revan's a bad ass) but to me the only other series that seems like it could compete with Star Wars in terms of content is Star Trek or LOTR (neither of which I'm a huge fan of either).
What are your guys thoughts on this. Am I full of bull, and if so what are some other series that could compete with Star Wars?
EDIT: Someone mentioned Harry Potter, and that is one series that could compete. Just didn't think of it.
Also it doesn't have to be a movie series, it just has to be very popular.
