seeing Ady's version made me wonder if that was indeed the way it was originally, but during editing they found that by changing the order it made things more emotionally intense.

That's exactly what happened. And I agree with you - the cut of the scene in the theatrical release was the superior cut.

Frankly, I wish Ady had kept the theatrical cut of the scene, and put the "original" cut (as it appears in Revisited) in the deleted scenes section.

*edit*

And I think the Purist version did restore the hut scene to its original cut, didn't it?

*re-edit*

Ah, Moth3r beat me to it.
