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 673 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 734 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 616 Views

Which is weird, considering how many want the original only. *NM* ironclad - 18/09/2011 12:15:51 PM 282 Views
I never saw it advertised, actually. Rebekah - 18/09/2011 01:25:23 PM 616 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 249 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 551 Views
I pretty much agree ironclad - 17/09/2011 05:15:37 PM 718 Views
The answer is to ignore the Blu-Ray release and buy the 2006 release instead. Rebekah - 18/09/2011 12:11:09 AM 544 Views
