The obvious answer coming to mind... Legolas Send a noteboard - 19/09/2011 10:53:05 PM
He went back and made a bunch of changes to "The Hobbit" in preparation for the publication of tLotR. He even discusses the changes in a forward to the newer version of the Hobbit.

But I've never once heard fans complaining about this.

would be that the vast majority of the people on this site, and the vast majority of sci-fi/fantasy geeks on the internet, aren't old enough to have known the original version of the Hobbit before it was changed. :P

I have the originals on DVD. I bet you can find them in shops still. Rebekah - 17/09/2011 07:08:17 PM 671 Views
Do you mean VHS? Or perhaps you don't equate "Original" to what the rest of us do. TaskmasterJack - 17/09/2011 11:02:20 PM 732 Views
I'm pretty sure that Han shoots first in the DVDs we have, but I'll have to check. Rebekah - 17/09/2011 11:09:33 PM 614 Views

Which is weird, considering how many want the original only. *NM* ironclad - 18/09/2011 12:15:51 PM 281 Views
I never saw it advertised, actually. Rebekah - 18/09/2011 01:25:23 PM 614 Views
I don't think anyone believed the marketing ploy of "these will never be available again". *NM* TaskmasterJack - 18/09/2011 02:59:26 PM 248 Views
No, Rebekah is right Camilla - 18/09/2011 08:37:07 AM 549 Views
the "real" version is exactly whatever Lucas says it is imlad - 17/09/2011 11:57:36 PM 608 Views
I think you're wrong. nossy - 18/09/2011 09:35:56 PM 520 Views

There is a lot there that wouldn't have occurred to me, I can admit that. nossy - 19/09/2011 03:57:54 PM 550 Views
I pretty much agree ironclad - 17/09/2011 05:15:37 PM 716 Views
The answer is to ignore the Blu-Ray release and buy the 2006 release instead. Rebekah - 18/09/2011 12:11:09 AM 542 Views
