An important thing to understand with Arwen is that when they were first designing her it was as a sort of warrior princess. They then realized that wasn't working and very early on completely revamped her look to what we've seen in the films. This means there will be production and test shots of her in warrior garb. Does that mean that she won't fight? No. Does that mean that she will fight? No. You have to take these pictures with a grain of salt.<P>Having said that, here's one of the pics that many of us have seen.<P> <P>To me this doesn't look like she is in warrior garb and came there to fight, but rather that she got caught in the middle of something.<P>Editted to add: Okay, rethinking this picture. It's been mentioned on other threads that this looks like Helm's Deep as it seems there was evidence that Arwen was there filming scenes. How's this for a scenerio, concerned about setting up events for RotK the original concept was to have Arwen bring the sword to Aragorn before the attack at Helm's Deep, likely arriving with Haldir and company. This idea was then abandoned, likely PJ fearing the wrath of Tolkien fans. This pushes Arwen showing up at the beginning of RotK but it also means that the above battle shot will never be seen.<P>H.C.<p>[ April 15, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
