[The Saucepan Man]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Peter Jackson seems to think that Sauron is nothing more than an eye that cannot adopt physical form yet (see Saruman's words to Gandalf in FOTR movie) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>As you say, Saruman says to Gandalf in FotR that Sauron cannot assume physical form <I>yet</I>. That does not preclude him being able to take physical form by the end of RotK. In the Book, I believe that he had physical form throughout, albeit that he was never seen, so he did not need the Ring to acheive this.<P>If it's true, I actually think that Sauron appearing on the battlefield himself at the Black Gate could work well, provided it's done properly. My only concern is that it will overshadow the Mouth of Sauron, and possibly diminish his role.
