See, for me, I would choose LOTR for any number of reasons. While I may have enjoyed the Star Wars movies more, I still think it would be a lot cooler and a lot more fun to fight with swords and bows than all these guns that would kill me in an instant. As for the magic part, I've always been more leaning toward wizard than warrior, although there wasn't as much magic in LOTR as I would think would be worth it to be a mage.
