Why didn't they cover the few big events between LOTR '78 and this?


This abomination starts in medias red (in the middle of the story). It is not a continuation of Bakshi's work. It literally skips ahead a few chapters from where the Bakshi movie had ended and thus fails as the unofficial sort of LOTR'78 sequel immediately. Why did they decide not to connect the events and thus leave a (small but important) portion of the trilogy unadapted?
