- it's from the article 'In their own words' on the Home page - On the addition of Galadriel and material from the appendices: Peter: It goes back to the appendices. We can adapt “The Hobbit” and we can take these appendices, which appear in “Return of the King,” which has material I think he was developing as an expanded version of “The Hobbit.” >snip< So I think he was intending to go back and revise “The Hobbit” or write a companion novel that was going to sort of tie it all together. He never did publish that book or even finish it, but a lot of the material his son published in the back of “Return of the King.” -end quote - So according to pJ, the Appendices contain material published by Christopher. Which is nonsense. Earlier this year, pJ announced 'We. Have had Access. To the Appendices! - and later he said that the Appendices are in 'some of the later editions of return of the King'. The fact is that it was JRR who published the Appendices, in the first printing of RotK in October 1955. And in every hardback edition ever since. The Appendices have been available for the last 57 years!

Did Tolkien actually want to rewrite The Hobbit?

Yes, but not badly enough to complete a full revision...
