I still stick by my statement though Despite the very personal Connection Tolkien had to the Silmarillion the real meat of the story come into play in Lord of the Rings. Similar to the Meat of the Story in Star wars Being the films now known as IV-V-VI.

Hmm, well, the "meat" of a story can be a very subjective thing. While most fans of Tolkien's work would consider the Lord of the Rings his best stuff, I personally think the Hobbit was a better work (and the best that I've read). In Tolkien's mind, however, I'm convinced he thought his most meaty portion was the Silmarillion and the Lord of the Rings was more of a return to the world he created in it.
