So, I bought the DVD and started watching it Last night. Hadn't seen it in the theatre. This movie is cool! Makes me want to read the books. I read the Hobbit a couple times as a kid, but never read the trilogy.

Didn't Tolkien go back at some point after LOTR and write prequel books that went through all the "history" stuff that the movie touches on? Like when the rings were made originally?

Yes, 'The Silmarillion'. There's also a bunch of other stuff that his son published after his death. My own view is that these are unnecessary, that the original trilogy + the Hobbit stand alone, but Tolkien was creating a whole mythology, and these later works were the publication of his 'backstory' and notes.
YMMV of course.

Steve.
What's this got to do with SEIV?

Not a thing. But this is a community. Our central point of commonality is SEIV, but we all have other interests.

Although there has been talk of a "fantasy mod" for SEIV, but that's out there a bit IMHO.

Geo

EDIT: Maybe I could make some sort of quest type scenario for SEIV. Call it "The Fellowship". Along the lines of my Voyager scenario, but for multiplayers. Where each player controls a single ship and you have to get across the galaxy or somesuch to win.
