Yes there have been many wasted opportunitys, but we cannot catagorically say that a Hobbit film with no delays would definately be better than a Hobbit film in which casting and crew choices had to be compromised. Just look at the Lord of the Rings, what if they had stuck with thier first choice for Aragorn? Or Viggo had said no? The out come could be very mixed. I feel we can lament a lost opportunity, but so long as the films keep moving forwards we cannot decree that the films have been damaged, or that the theoretical original end product would have been better, at least until we see them in the cinema. I would say that no, untested, actor is irreplaceable within the current franchise, we have to roll with the punches and assume the new Bilbo will be just as good, even if thier decisions are different to any other potential Bilbo.
