I’ve tried to keep the focus on Bilbo, Thorin and Gandalf as much as possible, while still making room for characters like Tauriel, Legolas, Bard and their stories (but making sure they never overshadow our main storylines). I wanted to keep Legolas, Tauriel, Dol Guldur and other material that many previous edits have removed entirely, but reworking these elements to make them work in the larger story that Peter Jackson is telling, and not be the annoying digressions I found them to be in the original version of DoS. The belated follow-up to my “Arkenstone Edition” of AUJ, this edit aims to remove the bloat and improve the pacing of “The Desolation of Smaug”, while still retaining all the additional characters and storylines found in Peter Jackson’s retelling of the story.Īs with my AUJ edit, this is not a purist edition, but an attempt to improve upon Peter Jackson’s story. So here, finally, is the long-expected (or maybe unexpected, by now) “Arkenstone Edition” of the second Hobbit film, “The Desolation of Smaug”. A Wizard is never late, nor is he early – he arrives precisely when he means to.
