Yeah, I know the OP is a mess. The reason is that Kerr’s actual edit should’ve been released long ago! This is basically that unreleased project with some EE bits folded back in by me.
It’s an edit likely to be most enjoyed by someone familiar with the books who wouldn’t have minded if the films were a little closer to them but okay with that for the most part. I like to think that this bends slightly in that direction without at all compromising the films as films. There’s also quite a bit of good ol’ fan editing magic due to restructuring in TTT and ROTK.
