Can't we talk about something more controversial, yet more relevant?
Last Middle-earth movie this year, first of a new Saga next year...fandoms at war..I mean wuuutt...
They
could, I'm just saying it's there, but if they really wanna milk it there's some awesome stuff in the Appendices, particularly the history of Gondor in Appendix D I believe. The whole story of Eldacar Vinitharya and Castamir the Usurper and the Kin-strife would be a great realistic medieval fantasy film to see on screen.
In addition, you could go all the ****ing way and make a saga of the "Fall of Gondor", with that, the war with the Wainriders and the Battle of the Camp, and ending with Eärnil going to face the Witch-king one on one in Minas Morgul. You make a small narrative change that links all three by giving the Witch-king a presence in the first two.
The Fall of Arnor is something else entirely. And still awesome.
So yeah, **** you, Star Wars.
