Long before Disney took over Lucasfilm and the Star Wars (and Indiana Jones and Willow ) IP. I’ve had this thought running through my head lately: You can have too much of a good thing. It’s the whole “less is more” notion, and it applies in a very big way not just to Star Wars but to a lot of our beloved genre fiction.
For example, let’s take a look at Galadriel: Galadriel Credit: Amazon / Warner Bros. On the left, we have young Galadriel from The Rings Of Power played by Morfydd Clark , bedecked in heavy plate armor and wearing a fancy elven blade on her back. On the right we have Cate Blanchett’s elven queen from the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy.
In The Lord Of The Rings movies, Galadriel is presented as faithfully to the source material as is humanly possible. She is beautiful, ethereal and mysterious. She is at once a source of courage for the Fellowship and somewhat terrifying when she meets with Frodo by her mirror.
She is not in very many scenes and doesn’t have very many lines (though she gets to do the intro narration!) but her presence in the films looms large. You do not forget her. Forbes Vetted For You Best Nintendo Switch Games: It’s Mario’s World, We’re Just Visiting By Jason R.
