Maybe it wasn't to establish Arwen as a character as early as possible. In fact, a 'grand unveiling' at Rivendell might have proven more powerful cinematically.<P>I propose that the replacement of Glorfindel was to establish Arwen's stealth, talent with a blade, bravery and equestrian skills. Now that we know she was intended to take part in the defense at Helm's Deep, and that she will appear in RotK, presumably with more to do than attending a wedding, it is not far fetched to trace back PJ's designs to her initial introduction.<P>thoughts?
