Gosh, I've been so preoccupied with hoping some of the original characters come back, that I didn't even realize, "What about Smaug??"

And that is SO true about movie dragons. Everything has been so lackluster and, well...lame -_-.

I have faith in Weta to create something spectacular though! I also completely agree with the '7 Things We Want'. This has to be FAR more light-hearted than LotR. Bilbo isn't weighed done, except by the funny little relations he has with the dwarves and Gandalf. Bilbo has more innocence to him that Frodo first had before he came into the possession of the Ring. Even when Bilbo had the Ring he was still light-hearted. I believe the Ring took more vengence on Frodo than Bilbo anyway.

I hope they do use Beorn and don't leave him on the cutting room floor. I understand their cut for Tom Bombadil in LotR, but Beorn could be SO bad ass, you know? Not to mention his appearance in the Battle of Five Armies could be the coolest thing since the North Pole bear fight in Golden Compass.

*keeps fingers crossed*
