If gandalf's sword was elvish (it was wasn't it) then why didn't it light up in the moria scene.:confused:

Not all Elvish swords necessarily lit up (and yes it was :) ), but I think Glamdring did light up somewhere, didn't it?

Yes, in the book Glamdring does light up. In the DVD commentary, they admitted that they realized they added the glow to sting and not to glamdring and that it was a mistake on their part not to make it so...

Having Sting glow was an absolutely essential part of LOTR.

But having Glambring light up too would have made the whole glowing sword business seem too much like Star Wars and taken away from the uniqueness of Sting in the movies.

:p

BB, IMHO that was pretty pathetic, but since LGlamdring's glowing is non-essential, I'll let you get away with it.

When did Glamdring glow? I've read LOTR (all 3) twice and I never saw that.

From TFOTR, Chapter 5: The Bridge of Khazad-dûm
There was a ring and clatter as the Company drew their swords. Glamdring shone with a pale light, and Sting glinted at the edges.
