Fordim Hedgethistle has been trapped in the Barrow!
It just occured to me what the "prequel" (i.e. non-Hobbit-stuff) will be...

It will follow the adventures of Aragorn as he meets Gandalf, learns of his true heritage and rides around Middle Earth having a series of adventures (under assumed identities) in Rohan, Gondor, the Shire and elsewhere.

They'll do a "growth of the hero" thing with action and romance (remember Arwen?), and a bunch of struggling-with-father-figure stuff in relation to Elrond and Gandalf. It will be sort of like King Arthur (y'know, wizard comes for regular guy who has to learn to be a king). Guarantee you it ends with Aragorn fighting his way through unimaginable dangers in order to make it to Bree on time to meet with some Hobbits.

Oh, and I'll bet you 10 dollars right now that his faithful companion/sidekick throughout it all is Legolas.
