Books can have long winded epilogs but they just don't work in movies that well. How would Return of the Jedi of worked with a 15 minute ewok party with it's own separate subplots and story tacked on at the end of the movie? Peter Jackson has made lots of cuts to the story to get it to work (many of which I dislike, like say 1/2 of two towers as a whole) that's just part of how it has to be to get a movie that people who never read the books can enjoy too.</p></blockquote><p></p>
