It did occur to me that this was an effort to make The Hobbit films more appealing for viewers in South-east Asia. Legolas as he was in LotR was very popular in Japan, Thailand and other South-east Asian countries. AUJ did not do too well there, and no doubt Warner Bros. are hoping to increase sales of the film in South-east Asia due to his inclusion (and his massive promotion). I hope their campaign does not back-fire on the film.
About 3 months ago I taught a calculus class where I live (northern Thailand). After the lecture, which used some PowerPoint slides, I noticed I had the DOS teaser trailer on the USB drive, and I showed it to the class. None of the students was a native English speaker or could have been more than 10 years old when LOTR came out. But when Legolas came on the screen, all of the girls in the class went nuts.
