New fan edit is out that uses the much higher quality blu-ray extended editions and has way better editing than the previous ones. The whole thing comes out to just over 4 hours for the whole trilogy.

If you're asking if Tauriel is in it, then no. She's seen a couple times, but no more than any other extra.

>>63288421
He's saying that the editing is better here than in previous fan edits.

The 1st one had a great soundtrack, the 2nd and the 3rd especially, not so much.
>>63288767
No wonder, the 1st one is the one people actually put some work in
>>63288767
iirc this version also fixes the soundtrack and adds in some of the score from the first movie into the later two.

Looks fucking terrible though, his body is all metallic and wet-looking still and it's jarring as fuck.
>>63287656

>>63287656
Is this version actually watchable or is it just chopped up garbage?
>>63287772
