Peter Jackson is making the Halo movie (thank god). They did refer to the return of the king, is there a connection? Lets see in LOTR Arragon (is that right?) returned to defend his "homeland" but he had a lot of help. I don't think there is a huge connection but for MC to be succesful (in a realistic format) he needs help.

what does that mean?

1. Humans that are left rally around MC
2. Some new race helps MC
3. He gets help from something that is not an alive (dead army from LOTR)
4. MC gets his new weapon (Arragon got his kings sword)
5. All this has to make sense for the movie to follow. Meaning its gotta be something huge and dramatic.
6. I'm thinking it's a last stand at the last human city

It's like this...
evertime someone from bungie says something people react the same way.

Bungie Staff member-"Man, I really need to use the bathroom."

5 Seconds later in the forums you'll see 10 threads about it theorizing that Halo 3 involves some sort of fiberglass toilet rocket launcher which will destroy the covenent. Then they will make another thread about whether or not everyone wants it in the game, thinking that Bungie hasnt already nearly finished it.

Ugh...Stop over analyzing it. Peter Jackson isnt directing it either (Just in case you dont know) he's helping to produce it. The mean "Return of the King" as in an epic ending to a great series.

Every time a church bell rings Mr T Pities a fool

It's an Elvis soundtrack!

He's not dead, he became a games designer, he'll announce this at the end of the game if you complete it in 'Whole lotta hurt' mode.

How cool would that be?

-_-

Every word they say makes a theory!!

He said it like its like Return of the Jedi, Return of the King, Revenge of the Sith. Its like a big finaly to a trilogy. All those movies were finalies of trilogies. Its a comparison.

It dosen't matter if MC saves the world because Chuck Norris could still kick his ass.

I think his reference to "Return of the King" has to just deal with LOTR was a triology and Halo is a triology. "Return of the King" had that epic kind of feeling to finish off the LOTR and was probably the most exciting of the three (except like AshWalker said "The 1 Hour Goodbye"). I dont think he is trying to hint at anything or say anything about someone being a 'king', just that Halo 3 will be the epic end to the Halo triology as was "Return of the King" to LOTR.

"The strength of the pack is the wolf, the strength of the wolf is the pack."

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me..."

ODST for life

wouldnt surprize me if they did mean it like that, but i think they meant more in a way of there are multiple fights going on, and they all are going to end for go. like in lotr return of the king, you got mary and pippen, eragorn legolas and gimli, king theoden eomir and eowin, then you have gandalf, and of course you have frodo sam and gollum. there are a few other characters, but ya. anyways, so you have all these diff. people in diff. situations, and all of them in the end finish what they set out to do. so thats what i think they mean by that cause in halo instead of mutliple characters we got mulitple "fights" we started, and so now were going to finish all of them all at once in the end. just my thought.

Do none of you have a sense of humour?
We do, this just isn't funny.

I think he emant it as the return of the king was the last in the trilogy and finished of the films and books perfectly... although The director for Halo movie made LOTR... might be a coincidence.

Wrong! (Go look it up.)

But they do make a Marty/Enya connection... and Enya wrote a song for one of the LOTR movies. Mmmmmm.

I hope it is like Jaws 3D. That would be ahwwwsome!
