Synopsis:

Follow up to "The Hobbit: The Last Light". The conclusion of the Hobbit story without all the cringe worthy moments.

Intentions:

After watching "An Unexpected Journey: Arkenstone edition" (which I consider the best fanedit of the first Hobbit film) and "Fire and Water" (which serves as the basis for my "The Last Light" edit), I tried to create a fanedit that would conclude the story in the best way I possibly could.

Change List:

- Applied color correction to get rid of the blue tint - New opening scene (since Smaug's death was at the end of my prequel edit) including alternative music. - Alfrid cut entirely. My prequel edit sort of implies he died during Smaug's attack on Laketown. - Legolas and Tauriel appear only towards the end to warn about the second Orc army. Where were they all this time? Scouting the region, probably. - Bard doesn't ride on a carriage through the streets of Dale - Cut scene of Bifur losing his axe. - Ride to Ravenhill trimmed - Legolas doesn't fly with bats and doesn't ride on a Troll. - Alternative Ravenhill fight sequence - Legolas doesn't fight Bolg. In the prequel edit I cut out the Orcs' attack on Laketown, so Legolas vs. Bolg is not a thing anymore. - Fight between Thorin and Azog is without iterruptions. Acknowledgement should go to the Spence edit for this cut. - Thranduil doesn't share scenes with neither Tauriel or Legolas - Restored Gandalf's eulogy at Thorin's funeral.

Additional Notes:

- Make a version of "The Battle of the Five Armies" that I can enjoy. - Cut all the silly stuff. - Make it focused on Bilbo as much as possible.
