How did Gandalf regain his staff? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Wasn't he supposed to do that? Like, when Sauron was defeated the three was to pass into the west, and they didn't have to hide the rings anymore.

im not totally sure... but if you pay attention closely his first and second staff have differences. But before i get into all that lets be reasonable. HES A WIZARD. I mean he can do all sorts of little tricks. Maybe he pulled his staff out of his hat

. Remember when Bilbo pulled his little trick and went back to bag end but Gandalf was already there when a second ago he was at the party. He can do all sorts of magic just open your mind a little... Anyway but the differences between his two staffs are hard to make out. But note in the scene where him and Saruman are fighting you can see the head of his pipe. Now lets fast forward all the way to moria and there is no pipe head but rather a crystal. Now as far as in between those scenes with Gandalfs staff im not completely sure because i havent seen the movie in a while but it is very obvious...

Gandalf did lose his original white staff when the Witchking broke it, but since he obtained it in Lothlorien, it makes sense that he was given another like it after Sauron's fall. (Not that he really needed it anymore.) You do see him leaning on it at the Grey Havens.

I just thought of something, remember in the movie how Saruman telekeneticly grabed Gandalfs staff from him, well maybe Gandalf did the same thing and telekeneticly grabed it back before he left. It seems to put in a lot of puzzle pieces
