Caspian's Sword

I just noticed that the sword Caspian is carrying in one of the leaked pictures on the new VDT movie looks like Rhindon. Surely... SURELY... SURELY... NOT!! :stunned:

Well, the books don't mention the sword being Rhindon, but Caspian is king of Narnia in VODT. And Peter isn't coming back. I think it would be okay if he used Rhindon.

The only real issue is that Rhindon was sized for a older boy, not a full-grown man. Unless the magic of Father Christmas causes it to grow as it's wielder grows.

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

The boy in the film was played as 15 - not very much smaller than his full-grown self.
If it was magically still in good condition by PC, then I have no problem with its being still the right size for the boy at 16/17. Caspian at the same age was taller than Peter, and handled the sword without problems.
How big is a sword meant to be anyway?

I really don't like Caspian using Rhindon. I feel like it would be displayed somewhere and treated with reverence. To Caspian, it is an ancient artifact that belonged to one of Narnia's legendary heroes.

Caspian's awe of the four kings and queens was kind of lost in the PC movie. Hoping this isn't a sign that it will still be lost in VDT.

We know from the books that he brought along the Treasures - otherwise he wouldn't have had Lucy's Cordial. I can't remember the exact quote, and I don't have my books handy (I'm at work), but if he brought one of the Treasures, why not the others? The sword definitely qualifies. And since he's King now, it should be okay for him to use it. Aslan made him king, after all! :)

The actual quote is "'If I had my old cordial with me I could cure him.' 'But you have,' said Caspian. 'I'd quite forgotten about it. As you left it behind I thought it might be regarded as one of the toyal treasures and so I brought it--if you think it out to be wasted on a thing like seasickness.'"
I'm all for Caspian using Peter's sword. In the movie, Peter did give it to Caspian, and I thought that was a very nice touch.
