Releasing Jackson would be like if they had George Lucas do Star wars 1,2 4,5 and 6 then having someone else make the 3rd movie or something like that.
Its just dumb.

Just so's we're clear, George Lucas didn't direct ep. V or VI. He merley wrote the story to both. Leigh Brakett wrote the screen play, Irvin Kershner directed ep. V, and Lawrence Kasdan wrote the screen play, and Richard Marquand directed ep. VI.

Keep in mind how few of the actors would be involved in The Hobbit. Hugo Weaving and Ian Mckellen are the only ones that come to mind, and maybe the actor who played Bilbo (can't remember his name) but i have no idea if they'd go with a younger actor anyways or not.
As for my opinion on the possibility of Jackson not directing The Hobbit, it's a little angering, as Jackson is obviously the right man for the job. He knows the books well, and he's already done three monumental films based around that world. Anybody would be daft to willingly pick anyone else over Jackson. Here's me hoping that Jackson will direct it, but that's not to say i won't go and see it if somone else does.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
