For example, this is the entry "First Age" from The Complete Guide to Middle-earth by Rober Foster: And there're this remark of Christopher Tolkien in his foreword to The War of the Jewels:

https://youtu.be/WMKN27xZ_14?t=168 <- youtuber says some wild xxxx about Christopher in this video Click bait title. But it does make me curious if others here hold this opinion or just what kind of opinions are out there on the topic of everything JRR didn't publish or write word for word...

Some members of the forum do not see Dagor Dagorath as canon because Dagor Dagorath was removed from the script by Christopher. Just because of this, it is not accepted for Turin to kill Melkor. friends, dagor dagorath is canon in my opinion. because it was removed from the story not by Tolkien...

I was wondering if anyone knew if Christoper Tolkien or Allen Lee made any comments either positive or negative on the dedication of the Ents in the movies? Guess I found my answer, he did the drawings for the ents but not treebeard...

After working through the History of Middle-earth volumes, I have begun to question whether Christopher Tolkien made the right decision with the conclusion he chose for the published Silmarillion. I finally gathered all of my thoughts together here - making a case that he probably should have...

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” - Gandalf, The Gray I don't know if there are words to accurately describe how much Mr. Tolkien contributed to our community and the world. Let's take a moment to thank him for everything. 🥺...

I shamelessly stole this photo from Facebook from one of the "other" Tolkien sites 🤣. Happy 95th birthday to Mr. Tolkien!

YouTube has been suggesting mode Christopher Tolkien videos to me so I thought I'd share!

I found this video with Christopher Tolkien and thought you'd all find it interesting! Christopher starts speaking around 3:47. From the description:

is Christopher viewed as a an important Tolkien scholar among other scholars?

I found an article about Christopher's stance on Jackson's depictions on his father's work. My Father's "Eviscerated" Work - Son Of Hobbit Scribe J.R.R. Tolkien Finally Speaks Out (2012) As you can see, he isn't a fan.

Well this is certainly big news...I guess it had to come sometime, 93 is really up there in age. Hopefully they continue to preserve Tolkien's legacy more than worry about making money though I kind of doubt that'll be the case :( Source

Hey, I don't know if anyone here speaks French, but if you do, you should read this article: http://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2012/07/05/tolkien-l-anneau-de-la-discorde_1729858_3246.html It's quite interesting. I'm not sure if it is translated into English anywhere out there. It was...

After 40 years of media silence, Christopher Tolkien speaks about the films and their effect on his father's legacy to the world. This is the English translation of an interview given in French to Raphaëlle Rérolle of LE MONDE. The original French text is linked at the end of the article...

This video link may have already been posted in the past; but its appearance on The Tolkien Society (UK) Facebook page encouraged me to post it here for a wider Tolkien audience. It is Christopher Tolkien, talking to camera, about his father's Legendarium and how The Hobbit and The Lord of...

From what I've heard Tolkien was not very organized and his handwriting was not the greatest, so what I was wondering was does anyone have news if Christopher Tolkien is working on anything else from his father's writings? Also, Christopher is getting up there in age, what happens when he...

Perhaps I'm selfish and want more from Tolkien's work, I dunno... But after reading The Hobbit, LoTR, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and BoLT2, I just wonder what it would have been like if Christopher would have continued on his fathers legendarium instead of publishing his unfinished...

Here's something interesting: http://blogumentary.typepad.com/chuck/2004/01/christopher_tol.html , the title of which is: "Christopher Tolkien is a big [Sorry — this being a family-friendly place, you'll have to go there to see what he is...]" Evidently, the man is absolutely possessive about...
