about rights. As far as we know, Amazon does not have the rights to The Silmarillion or any of the History of Middle Earth books. Nor have they acknowledged rights to Unfinished Tales or anything other than The Lord of the Rings. So is this just a tease?

Relevant quote from the article - What if Amazon is being sneaky, and they’ve secured more rights than they’re letting on
I mean if this series is going to cost $500 million, what if they already secured the rights to Unfinished Tales? And the entire thing? Depending how well the first series does, they could have lots of different series. Much like CBS All Access is now doing with Star Trek.

Honestly... The Second Age is probably the most boring time to place it.

Most of it takes place in only one generation, though.
