Hopefully Tauriel, their new elf OC, is done well and doesn't spoil things!
So, dragons...I suppose the question comes down to how much breeding stock Morgoth was working with for the dragons? Was there ever only one line of descent, or were there multiple? It's kind of funny, you can tell Tolkien wrote Hobbit first because dragons aren't really a threat in the rest of LotR at all (so what was Smaug doing all of the Ages of the world before showing up at Erebor?)
I don't think the dwarf-rings were brought up in this film, nope, but there's certainly time enough in the next two, as long as it's brought up logically and not shoehorned in. Though what they can say about rings in general is kind of limited (how much before Bilbo starts thinking about the ring in his pocket?) or they'd restate the point of the LotR trilogy. At any rate, Thror's ring certainly did not help affairs with the dragon...
