I'm 95% happy and excited about the news. I'm a little worried for the dwarfs, but otherwise I won't care much if he completely kills canon. I just don't want Bilbo traipsing around ME with a band of bumbling fools. Gimli was definitely shown to be a warrior, though, so I have a little hope that they won't just be there for comedy relief. And the prospect of a Legolas cameo would be just too good for words! Of course, it will probably be a long time before they can start filming and who knows what Orli will be up to then. But I'm glad they ironed things out and PJ will be a part of the projects! What great news!
