So, first thing first: I'm aware it's probably the 100th and something edit of the Hobbit. Therefore, I'll explain what this edit is all about:
My edit is inspired by Kerr's "Arkenstone edition" and Masirimso17's "Fire and Water". Especially, I liked that Masirimso17 ended his edit with Smaug's death and used the Orc army march from Dol Guldur as final scene. That worked well. And so, it made me question how the third movie might look like with the above in mind. I used the Extended Edition of "The Battle of the Five Armies" as the source.
Here's the list of changes:

Here's the list of changes:
- Color corrected entire movie to remove a little of a blue tint, resulting in a more vivid less pale look.
- Alternative music for opening credits and new beginning (No Smaug attack on Laketown as it already happened)
- No Alfrid in this movie, at all.
- No close up on Radagast praying.
-Trimmed Removed scenes between Tauriel and Kili and later between Tauriel and Thranduil to make the relationship between Kili and Tauriel feel more like a well established friendship, rather than an all-out love story. No cringe worthy dialogue about love. Tauriel is determined to save her [recently wounded new] friend.
- Legolas and Thranduil do not share screen together. For some reason, in the scenes between them, Thranduil grimaces like he really ought to go number two. Of course, this means no random mention of a certain unknown ranger.
- Legolas does not fly with bats. Does not ride a troll by controlling it with sword through brains. Does not perform gravity defying stunts.He has one new stunt in this edit.
- Bard doesn’t ride a cart through the streets of Dale.
- Bofur doesn't ride a troll.
-No Were-worms. Orc army appearance scene re-imagined.
- Ride to Ravenhill trimmed and shortened.
- Thorin doesn't have a vision of himself drowning in gold.
- No scene of Dain was removed. He's too bloody awesome.
- Bifur and Bombur don't speak. Bifur loses his ax off screen.
- Restored Gandalf's complete eulogy at Thorin's funeral.
- Various other cuts and trims throughout the film.
- Used alternative music from all three soundtracks for some scenes.
