I'm hugely stoked for this.

Two intriguing tidbits from the preview are indications that it was Sauron, not Melkor, at the original Fall of Men, and that Ingwe, Finwe and Elwe were not first generation Elves, both of which have been long-standing personal deductions of mine, but until now with nothing explicit in any writing of Tolkien to back them up.
