heyyyyyyyyy i posted a pic with the palantir..........and i have another one( not posted) with Aragorn holding the palantir.
And without the palantir Aragorn wouldn't have gone to the paths of the dead....and WE KNOW THAT HE IS GOING.
sooooooo I seriously doubt that they are gonna cut out the palantir parts
Perhaps the Palantir will also be an extended edition thing. But of course, that leaves know reason for Pippin and Gandalf to go to Minas Tirith unless they just happen to feel like a little trip to the place right next to Mordor. Yeah...Saruman not giving his little speech and such from the balcony and Grima not dropping the Palantir would present some problems. Who knows what they'll stick in there instead.
