If you had your choice, would you have wanted George Lucas to stop after 1977?

As it goes, I don't think Lucas comes anywhere Tolkien, though, when it comes to overegging the cake where backstory is concerned.  Not that I want to introduce Lord Of The Rings and its increasingly dull spin-offs to the conversation.

 

There are LOTR spin-offs? You mean the Silmarillion?

 

I mean The Silmarillion, The Book Of Lost Tales and Unfinished Tales.  Children Of Hurin - which indeed was by Christopher Tolkien, taken from notes by JRR - was so badly written it made his grandfather look like Stephen King.
