Considering George Lucas set a new standard for technology used in film making, and brought surround sound to the big screen, having Star Wars: A New Hope, in theaters for 3 consecutive years, there is no comparison. Star Wars is a far greater movie trilogy then Lord of the Rings due to the fact that Star Wars set the standard for what movies are today. Without Lucas, there is no Jackson. Ignoring surround sound. Which you can enjoy both without. You have to look at the movies themselves. There are screw ups in acting in SW as are there terrible actors. The plot got changed and there are still holes and questions waiting to be answered. On the other end of the question. The Lord of the rings has amazing scenery, some of the best acting I've seen in a long time, and a cast of fantastic actors. The story is epic, deep, and profound. So in my own personal opinion I'd say The Lord of the Rings.
Harrison Ford was in a few movies before he became a huge film star. For example American Graffiti was one of his first, but then he was forgotten until he was working on a set (in carpentry) and George Lucas was casting for actors to appear in Star-Wars. George knew Harrison from American Graffiti (for that was one of his first films he created) and called him over as the guy who was going to be cast for Han Solo didn't show up. Harrison read the lines and George Lucas thought he was perfect for the part. So yeah... i guess you could say he was a carpenter befpre he got into show business...
Lucas is straight and has a girlfriend.
After George Lucas directed episode 4 (the first one), his family life lead him to assign Irvin Kreshner to direct the movie (Lucas wrote the story). Episode 6 was directed by Richard Marquand. After 16 years, Lucas came back to direct all 3 of the prequels (1, 2, and 3).George Lucas

George Lucas reportedly told Al Pacino that he "didn't have the face for space" when Pacino expressed interest in playing Han Solo in "Star Wars." Lucas ultimately cast Harrison Ford in the role, which became iconic and significantly boosted Ford's career. This anecdote highlights the unconventional casting choices that can define a film's legacy.

Yep. Disney is working on it. Immediately after Disney aquired LucasFilm and the rights to Star Wars they announced another trilogy. The First of which, Episode VII is set to release in 2015. Disney has also announced several additional films focusing solely on certain characters. Han Solo and Boba Fett have been confirmed. The new Trilogy is supposed to take place some 20-30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi with Mark Hamil, Carrie Fischer, and Harrsion Ford all set to reprise their roles. The Han Solo Film is supposed to take place somewhere between the events of Episode III and Episode IV, meaning a new Han Solo will need to be cast.
