Actually the extended editions are a grand total of 683 minutes which is only 11.4 hours of movie. But there are tons and tons of behind the scenes stuff on those extra discs.
I think Lord of the Rings is in a different class from Star Wars. Star Wars is classic scifi. Lord of the Rings brought in a whole new age of movie making for the fantasy genre. The scope of its filming was huge. Star Wars is still the best for its unique approach to many of the technical limitations of its time. Laser guns, light swords? Who would of thought you could do that stuff 30+ years ago before the age of computer effects.
