After years of saying I would do it, I finally did. Watched all 3 extended editions in a row, with minimal breaks.  Doing so truly brings the emotional weight to the end of the entire trilogy. It’s hard to really come up with much to say that hasn’t already been said to death at this point. Everything about this trilogy was a beyond perfect storm. It’s truly impossible to imagine a single bit of it differently. If it didn’t amount to exactly all this, it just wouldn’t have happened at all.
