Where is Gandalf's staff! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I wouldn't call it a "blunder". It is simply a different staff. If you look closely, you can see that the post-Isengard staff is not the same one as pre-Isengard. Gandalf's first staff had a built in pipe holder, his second staff held an illuminating crystal. Whether he got it from his stash at home, or carved a new one after his escape from Saruman doesn't have much significance in the story, so why spend screentime explaining it?<p>[ August 11, 2002: Message edited by: Sweatpea Knotwise ]
