* Billy Boyd (Pippin) getting the credits song, "The Last Goodbye" from ''Film/TheHobbitTheBattleOfTheFiveArmies''. It plays over a similar credit sequence that ended the ''LOTR'' trilogy with each character getting a sketch. Listen closely and you hear that it clearly samples "Into the West" from the end of ''Film/ReturnOfTheKing.'' But whereas "Into the West" had a definite feeling of "This is the end" about it, "The Last Goodbye" somehow conveys the notion of "This was just the beginning" and just makes you want to pull down ''Film/TheFellowshipOfTheRing'' and start watching even if you've just gone through nine hours of ''Film/TheHobbit.''
