Give a unequivocal apology for mishandling the Tolkein IP, attacking fans, and censoring/manipulating/buying reviews
Ret-con the entire thing ("It was all just a dream...")

Nah, apologize for letting the previous showrunners make it, fire the executives who hired them and supervised, and start over by saying "Tolkien wrote a worthwhile story, one that should be filmed as he wrote it, and now that [new exec/production team] is in charge, they and Amazon are committed to making it a reality."
It will never happen though.
