As much as I’d love this rumor to be true, I highly doubt it would happen. The Tolkien estate has been extremely tight-fisted about intellectual property.

Then again…given how Universal was willing to go to extreme lengths with creative control for WWoHP, maybe Universal could convince them that a LotR land would be given similar service. It certainly would further raise the bar against Disney seeming resting on their laurels as of late.

I have such mixed feelings.

It would have to be like Potter. Not SWGE.
