Blatantly forgo the exact details of the original work and cast a diverse group of actors for the characters and their respective cultures. The important part, IMO, is the unlikely group of people wind up forming social bonds to rise above their humble beginnings to stop a war that features awesome foes like evil dragon-people, dragon riders, and powerful skeletal knights. I read the books as a youth, and I remember them being just "okay" with various problems, but the core seems solid to me (what's described above, to me, is the core.) I honestly don't remember much else about them. The best, most marketable part of Dragonlance, IMO, is primarily the name, then the core characters personalities (though not their looks), and the basic thrust of the original adventure, and the villains. The problematic details are not important to keep (and are probably important NOT to keep).</blockquote>
