These have been totally reworked and made from scratch. Kerr and Phil, from the first book cuts, have helped greatly. A much better attempt at a purist edit that can be a true successor to the infamous TTT Purist Edit.

Rather than post the full blurbs, here are the concise links:

Aside from small trims and edits, larger-scale things have been removed, such as:

Sauron is not merely a giant eye floating above Barad-dur.

Arwen is not sailing across the sea to Valinor.

Aragorn does not doubt his identity and destiny.

Saruman is not Sauron’s direct subservient.

Boromir is corrupted rather than an being an undercover agent.

Theoden is not a coward and does not hold a groundless grudge against Gondor.

Faramir does not drag the hobbits to Osgiliath, so Frodo does not attempt to give the ring to a Nazgul.

No elves at the Hornburg.

The Ents do not refuse to attack Isengard.

The good guys already know Sauron moves against Minas Tirith.

Arwen is not dying.

Denethor lights the beacons of his own accord, prior to Gandalf and Pippin’s arrival.

De-emphasized ‘Sauron the Searchlight’ as much as possible.

Frodo does not send Sam home.
