I had a similar idea that Sam would end the last Hobbit movie...AUJ opens with a little "frame" scene featuring Bilbo & Frodo and the Red Book. I think a nice contrast to that scene would be to end the last Hobbit film with a scene where Sam is recounting Bilbo's story to his children (reading from "There and Back Again" of Course), after the events of ROTK.
However, like your idea, this runs into the **showing Sam is still alive and well in the Shire prematurely spoils the end ROTK** (for lack of a better name) problem.
It's a strange problem, because a decade later everybody knows the end of ROTK. The problem is that, in a subtle way, it might rob the LOTR trilogy of some of its drama, at least in my opinion, if you reveal the end of LOTR at the end of the Hobbit. From a fanatic's perspective, it would certainly make Hobbit/LOTR movie marathons a little anti-climactic! I think other posters have pointed this out already.
That being said, I would love to see Sean Astin's Sam once more.
I think a better solution (and a more likely one - wouldn't be surprised if this actually happens) would be to have Ian Holm appear in a final frame scene. This could occur once more at Bag End at Bilbo's desk (now that the pesky young Frodo has gone off to read in the woods, waiting for Gandalf  ), or maybe in some other way; maybe we rejoin elderly Bilbo in Rivendell, finishing his book.
I look forward to seeing how this plays out, and whether or not they choose to end the final Hobbit film with a "frame" scene.

I bet the EE will make it more confusing!

Like I said, though. These things might become more relevant in an EE or in TABA

But I think the quest of Mt Doom is far more relevant than Bilbo becoming recluse.

I agree to agree to disagree :P You will never be persuaded! But discussion is what these boards are for after all! //
