George Lucas believed that there was no mythology in America (ignoring native American stories and mythology) and he pompously saw Star Wars as an American mythology.
JRR Tolkein also believed that England lacked a mythology (in comparison to Celtic and Norse mythology) and the Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion and the Hobbit were Tolkein's attempt to create an English mythology which is heavily influenced by Norse and Celtic legends.
I accept that Star Wars has a huge following and it is a cultural phenonem, but you cannot compare Star Wars to Tolkein's Lord of the Rings (as in the book and his other writings). I'm also a big fan of Peter Jackson's films, but even as good as they are, they come no where close to telling the full story or fully capturing all of the underlying themes and stories that Tolkein told.
