@mechadoggy According to his letters, all the wizards but Gandalf failed and were killed. So the blue wizards failed in their task to unite a force in the East against Sauron. Tolkien wrote 7 versions of the Silmarillion and it was his first book. A lot of what was published after that was story ideas Tolkien had played around with to fill in the stories in it. That's why there's so much contradictions between them and the Silmarillion. Since we know Tolkien intended to publish the Silmarillion, it's considered canon. There's no evidence he ever intended to publish any of the other side stories. Which none of it matters anyway because they don't have the rights to any of it. This show is horrible and they made freaking female Nazgul. They've clearly added stories from the Silmarillion in and the Unfinished Tales too. I have not watched it, but watched reviews where they break every episode down. They've turned mithril into a magic ore that's only found in Kazad-dum that was created when Glorfindel fought the Balrog only they made the fight about a tree that is a Silmirill that never existed. Though they never name Glorfindel, anyone familiar with the 2nd Age would recognize that's who it was. The Elves are no longer immortal and Numenorens hate them because "they'll take our jobs" ( I wish I was kidding). Celebrimbor is an idiot who doesn't know how to forge two metals together until human Sauron tells him how, and the Dwarves don't like him. The 3 Elven rings have been forged with the help of human Sauron, but not the 7 or 9 and he's revealed he's Sauron and gone to Mount Doom. Mount Doom was created by a human using a sword that's a key to open a dam that floods tunnels orcs dug. It sends water into the volcano and makes it erupt. So a human created Mount Doom instead of Morgoth. It's so so horrifically bad and lore breaking. Oh yeah and Celeborn is dead. Sauron tries to put the moves on Galadriel because he says she'll make him want to be good. She says no, which makes him become the Dark Lord. It makes me want to vomit.

As others have commented, the problem with StarWars is that Lucas never really controlled it's lore properly. There were tons of books, some good some bad, that were fanfiction. It made it difficult to say what is and isn't really lore. Lucas himself disengaged from most of it only occasionally saying this or that he liked. It left everything too open for someone like Disney to exploit. Plus Lucas sold it and insisted on Kathleen Kennedy being the head of it. So technically it all had George's blessing making it even more difficult to mount a good defense against it. Edit: Huge StarWars and Tolkien fan to be clear. It didn't help that Lucas did what he did to the originals either. He was pretty clear he didn't give a flying f what the fans wanted.
