Thank you very much for your periodic news about the EE, Tiberius ;)
Hopefully, we might see promotional clips also of the Battle of Dol Guldur in the next days :)
LordDainIronfoot:
Thank you Tiberius! :) And while I can say the footage was interesting and fun I am not so verry fond of it,cuz I think there is much more interesting better stuff that can be shown than just Bard sliding on some roof!! :)
I hope we will see much better things and nopt scenes wasted on such poinless cascades! :)
Greetings! :)
Walküre:
A few days ago I casually watched an extra content of iTunes about BOTFA (that I can't unfortunately upload here).
It was basically an almost 9-minute video, which mainly consisted in a long and holistic comment of PJ and Philippa Boyens about the creation and the whole concept itself of the Hobbit trilogy, referring in particular to the last chapter of this trilogy.
As I kind of immediately imagined watching the video, it was the extended version of a video that I had already watched before, in the preceding days of the official release of BOTFA (in the early December).
The expanded version of that video, the one that I recently saw on iTunes, contains actual footage of the very BOTFA, that they obviously couldn't show us before the official release of the film (that's why it was cut).
This is the 'short' version of the iTunes extra content, which deals with the same main themes, but, obviously, in a more synthetical way :)

One element, that is not present in this short version, is the comment about Galadriel and the Banishment of Sauron; this comment starts at 1.20 in the YouTube video, and, in the iTunes version, it has more content in it.
Speaking about the 'Resurrection' of Sauron and the White Council, PJ and Philippa Boyens say that Galadriel puts an enormous amount of Power in the Banishment of the Dark Lord from Dol Guldur (showing BOTFA footage of the Banishment), and that this leaves her dramatically weakened and strengthless.
The impact of this confrontation drains the majority of her magical powers, changing her forever and forever making her unable to regain her previous Might...
That's why (PJ's and Philippa Boyens' words) Galadriel has in the LOTR trilogy a 'detached' and 'passive' role and behaviour, knowing that most of her powers are inevitably gone (they also showed some footage of FOTR of Galadriel).
What do you think?
I'm not really convinced by this interpretation... 8-|
Galadriel becomes finally aware of the ineluctable decrease of her powers when she rejects the One Ring, and, consequently, her millenary Ambition of Power.
Also, at the arrival of the Fellowship in Caras Galadhon, she is at the apex of her Might, almost unmatchable in her own realm.
Also, she later fends off the three assaults from Dol Guldur with her powers, and (when Nenya had already lost its magical Power with the destruction of the One Ring) destroyed and purified Dol Guldur from the Memory and Evil of Sauron, her real Last Act of Power, resembling (obviously in a minor scale) what Lúthien did in Tol-in-Gaurhoth, always against the Power of Gorthaur/Sauron 8-)
Also, speaking about Magic and the confrontation of Dol Guldur, this is what I have found throughout the Internet.
It is another WETA concept of the White Council; and Galadriel surely gives us a direct representation of what she may be able to do, fighting with what seems to be the Shadow of Sauron :)
Fine:
I always thought Sauron was not banished (actively) from Dol Guldur but instead retreated on his own accord in order to deceive the White Council into thinking they had weakened him. But instead he spent some time in the East and then rebuilt Barad-dûr (and the whole land of Mordor), commencing his war on the West by attacking Ithilien (and thus, Gondor).
I may be wrong, but this is how I recall it from reading the source material. (This is just off the top of my head, I did not read anything up before posting)
Der Dunkle König:
That's correct, Fine. Quote from "Of the Rings of power":
" [...], and drove Sauron from his hold, and Mirkwood for a brief while was made wholesome again.
But their stroke was too late. For the Dark Lord had forseen it, and he had long prepared all his movements; [...] Therefore his flight was but a feint, and he soon returned, and ere the Wise could prevent him he re-entered his kingdom in Mordor and reared once again the dark towers of Barad-dûr."
So Sauron didn't really try to defend himself against the Council, he wanted them to believe that they banished him.
