Why do you think they makers of LotR left out Narsil from its importance in the book. I first noticed it missing when Aragorn draws out a full sword when Sam threatens him in Bree. (And yet they may have given him that to drive off the Ringwraiths at Weathertop) But what I don't understand is that they show the shards in the movie, but they don't reforge it. So it's not like they left the sword out of it all together. Isn't the sword vitally important to Aragorn and his being Elendil's heir? Why do you think they left it out?<p>[ December 28, 2001: Message edited by: Son of Gondor ]
