Hi Gecko, that’s great that you were able to splice in the Galadriel footage! You are right that it’s a bit late for my version however. Personally I cut her out because she wasn’t in the book, and I wanted to save any White Council-related footage for my side quest edit, Durin’s Folk and the Hill of Sorcery.

The main reason I cut that scene with her and Gandalf is that I found it to be too preachy. I hate how Gandalf literally turns to the camera and delivers a lecture to the audience…it’s unbelievably cloying and out of place. BUT, that’s just my own opinion and I like how you worked the footage back into my cut. I certainly encourage you to make your own version based off mine 😃
