   It's great we benefit from 2 movies, but don't think they sat around   
   debating how to best adapt it.  They wanted more money, and found a   
   perfect way tog et it, since fans have been saying we might need   
   multipart movies since OOP.  If it's not well received, they still get   
   money, and blame the fans for their dumb idea. It's win-win-win.
