Didn't Tolkien come up with some of that stuff after the initial publication of his books?
It was background info, world building, fill in the blank material. Tolkien was big on crafting a world with its own language, culture and history. It wasn't so he could change the story. His only ever attempt to do that was the changes made to Riddles in the Dark.
