A thought occured to me this morning: that PJ and crew had to invent some reason for Arwen <I>not</I> coming to give the sword to Aragorn with Elrond. We know that originally they planned her to, but changed their minds and made her role less warrior-oriented. But the scene in which she stands up to the Nazgul is still in FotR, so anyone would wonder why she all of a sudden has to stay home away from the battle. I mean, <I>Eowyn</I> is there and she's a girl, so what's Arwen's excuse? It would look like she suddenly chickened out. If they say she's dying they give justification for keeping a competant fighter home.
