His soul will find its way to the halls of his fathers.
In who's mighty company he will know no shame.
It is very sad that he is no longer with us, but consider this: he is with the Professor now. Imagine the conversations they are having right now.
An era has ended, but his legacy will live on. He has inspired many people and I'm greatly thankful to him. May you rest in peace Christopher Tolkien.
Man what ashame
His work putting together the Silmarillion is enough to cement his place in the literary world. But he went so far beyond that. Without him JRR's notes and such would be just papers gathering dust. He filled out Middle Earth for us all to enjoy. A life well lived.
I had forgotten that Christopher was responsible for The Silmarillion. You remind us about how much we are indebted to him. Thank you. And may he rest in peace.
I hope he will meet his father and together venture on neverending journey. May we meet again
RIP Christopher Tolkien.
May he rest in piece, he was a truly amazing & inspiring human being! Words are not enough to describe how gratefull I am for all his hard work on everything Tolkien had written!
"peace" "grateful"
A true Steward, and perhaps also secretly the last Wizard of Middle Earth. Namarie.
I can say a lot 'bout Christopher Tolkien, but it's unnecessary: He was a truly BADASS...
Namárië Chris
So he sailed to the west. I am thankful for long nights and days reading and dreaming about what the Tolkiens created. Goodbye Christopher
Christopher Tolkien truly did love his father and did his best to complete his work yet keeping it intact. That's what I call a good loving son preserving legacy.
Unlike what Frank Herbert's son did to the Dune books.
Thank you Christopher for keeping your fathers work alive.
I grew up with his work and this saddens me but I’m also very thankful for what he has created
Thank you for the beautiful mythology you helped bring to the world.
R.I.P. ...thanks to him we got ALOT more in the Tolkien world
Christopher is the reason We have very large Balrog. I really do appreciate that. It's those little things he changed in his father's world (along with all of the larger pieces of work he put together) that some people may not know was from him. I'm glad to know a part of him will be immortalized in his father's work and in his own. RIP Christopher :(
He lived a very accomplished full life! That's all we can ask for. So glad he was interested in finishing his father's work.
Das macht mich gerade unfassbar traurig :( und wusste nichtmal das er so viele Bücher veröffentlicht hat. Aber allein für das Silmarillion muss man ihm 1000x für danken, auch wenn ich es bis heute nur 1x gelesen hab (es liest aber auch teilweise echt zäh :D). Sorry fürs deutsch schreiben ^^, aber um Legolas zu zitieren "Mein Herz vermag es nicht zu übersetzen. Für mich ist die Trauer noch zu nah"
Thanks to Christopher we have the magnificent Silmarrilion, and so much more. He handled his dad's legacy marvelously.
This is a very nice video. You have expressed what many feel.
Rest in peace.
I didn't know him personally and probably never would, but his passing is like so many arrows that pierce our hearts. Be at peace, son of Tolkien.
Thank you so much for this video. I just discovered your videos last night. Watch as many as I could till I fell asleep.
A friend of mine once told me, I think Heaven is what you planned for it to be, so dream big. I want my heaven to be the books of JRR Tolkien. With lots of love, thank you, Christopher Tolkien for all your work.
Thank you!
That is a nice way of seeing it :)
Rest in Peace Sir
I am 100% positive that you are Dinesh D’Souza. You sound EXACTLY like him. Great content btw
not sure if i want to be Dinesh D’Souza xD
@@ThePhilosophersGames
Why not?
@@ThePhilosophersGames Dinesh D'Souza is just controlled opposition, his statements are made by his masters. Anyway, what's your opinion on him? He's not far right nor a dispenser of truth, he mixes lies with facts in a way only a controlled opponent does. Explain your statement, make some philosophy out of it, Philosopher
Also @ImSorryDude
I'm from a country where the Democrats would be a centre right party (that is true for many European countries). Ofc the democrats also have left wings, but they seem quite small. I'm personally relatively left (not socialism/communism left though) or progressive. From my observation people in the US seem to have a very different understanding of what "left" is than I have.
When big parts of the Democrats would be considered right in my country, can you imagine how the perception of e.g. the GOP and right people from the US here is (esp. right now)? From our perspective it's almost scary right and I'm from Germany, I know how scary right can look. In addition I'm also on the political left side. That is why I don't want to be associated with Dinesh D’Souza.
I don't understand US politics, even though I look into them a bit. The system, the politicians, what politicians get away with, the ideology behind it, etc. It looks really bizarre to me from the outside.
That's also enough politics for me ^^ YT is not a great place discussing this and our perspectives are probably vastly different.
@@ThePhilosophersGames yep they are, I'm not american either by the way. Alright thanks for the explanation about yourself fella, have a nice day
He's not dead. He simply went to the Grey Havens to sail west to meet his father and mother again.
May he join his father in the west
He will be missed
Yes totally =/
First & first view. R.I.P. Christopher.
This guy, kept the IP away from money hungry companies. He single handedly kept the IP from falling into the wrong hands. He will be missed.
Omg noo
White Shores, RIP
So ends the production of edit: original content from the source, around middle earth?
He for the most part only used writings of his father and I think we are pretty complete here. History of the Hobbit is also not from him, but from John D. Rateliff, who also used Tolkien's material, etc So there are other very good Tolkien Scholars for good content. Christopher Tolkien did not expand own hat Tolkien has wrote and i think the Tolkien community would also see this very critically.
@@ThePhilosophersGames That's good. Let's hope that all that there was left has been released or will be soon.
Its fantastic how the son was able to spend his entire life curating and guiding others through what his father created. Value all around.
The original content can be found in the old Anglo-Saxon literature, Kalevala and the Icelandic Sagas.
Now Hollyweird has free reign to destroy his father's work
No I can't imagine that. Hollywood already did a lot without his approval and I think his family will have an eye on that. They will never let go of Tolkien's legacy. The Tolkien Estate is also not on the stock market, so they can't be bought without his family selling. In addition there are a lot of Tolkien fans out there and the books won't go away. I will also hint at what is different in the books and my colleagues will do as well ^^
@@ThePhilosophersGames I agree the Tolkien estate still has control over it.

Amazon already ruined LOTR. Not supporting the new series at all.
What did they do?
@@ThePhilosophersGames I'm scared to know...
@@ThePhilosophersGames look at the main staff casted. That's all im going to say
I thin it's looking good so far. Ofc would be nice to see some of the old cast back, but I think it was clear that it's unlikely. If they stick to the lore it looks like we are going to see Umbar, which was established in the Second Age.
