The Galadriel/Gandalf shot
|
Can't Post
|

From the trailer, it looks like Galadriel is "healing" Gandalf right AFTER the battle. Everything is so quiet and silent, or at least it appears this way.
To me that indicates that Gandalf will be hurt massively, the way he is in shape in that shot and that it is likely Galadriel will appear their before Elrond and Saruman are joining.
Then there is that picture from the banner with Elrond and Saruman in the background, looking at them. So both probably they find them in really bad circumstances in Dol Guldur ?
Or could it be that he has been already rescued (by Beorn and/or Radagast) and thats just the silent before the storm ?
Your opinions ?

I wonder if the scene in the banner, where Gandalf and Galadriel are reaching out for each other is before or after the scene we watched in the teaser.
I cannot wait to see which role each of the members of the White Council play in that battle.

I expect that Galadriel arrive first, she will try to free Gandalf, she will take him out of cage. After that Sauron will show up and fight with Galadriel, of course Galadriel will lose against him. Maybe during this fight, Gandalf will still be languid. After that Elrond will arrive with elven soldiers of Rivendell or Lothlorien, and slay the orcs in Dol Guldur. But Elrond will fall against Sauron, too. After in the very moment of losing the battle, I expect Saruman will show up and save the day.After Saruman's arrival, Sauron will probably flee and leave Dol Guldur. That explains Chris. Lee's words: "Understanding, sympathy towards Gandalf, towards Galadriel." I myself expect there will be a fight between Nazgul and Saruman.
And 2. possibility: Maybe Saruman will arrive with Elrond and save the day.

Yeah, in that bunch I see no other than a wizard to confront Sauron

Would it be Saruman alone or with Radagast?, that remains to be seen

I figured that the rest of the White Council would arrive at the same time. Then after they kick butt for a short while, Galadriel seeks out Gandalf while Saruman, Elrond, and maybe Radagast continue the fight. Maybe she finds him after the fight. That's the way I see it going down.

Nice idea about Saruman fighting Sauron, but...

How could Sauron ever trust and be in league with Saruman and let him be his left (!) hand man in dealing with Rohan et al later?

I think Galadriel will show up alone

The shot of her bare feet entering the ruins suggests a solitary entrance to me.
I think she comes in alone, heals Gandalf, fights Sauron, is defeated. Then in come Elrond, Saruman and Radagast. Radagast dies. The Council drives Sauron out of the fortress. Galadriel destroys Dol Guldur and sends Gandalf on his way.

From the screen shot, is Galadriel wearing some kind of armor? Or is it the same clothes? And doesn't she wear any kind of footwear, especially going into battle? The Queen of Lorien (Lady, rather) comes non-armored? We all know what happened to Haldir for not wearing a Helmet!
Or maybe it's just in Gandalf's mind (like how Galadriel spoke to Frodo) but then why the walking part against the fallen rock debris at Dol Guldur (presumably).
Maybe Galadriel will heal Gandalf (she seems to have that power, whether with other stuff like herbs, not sure, but I doubt she will be carrying that to Dol Guldur).
I must say, however, that Saruman, Elrond, Radagast and Galadriel, after Gandalf's warning should NOT be going into Dol Guldur without some kind of army contingent (I'm presuming PJ would have not considered this).
I'm okay with Galadriel being able to keep Sauron at bay indefinitely until Saruman, Radagast and Elrond arrives, but I really believe there is a reason why Tolkien, of all characters in LOTR, made such a big scene being tempted by the ring, and it just can't be just because we need women in the LOTR. Perhaps we get to see some of the stuff she learned from Melian, and more hopefully, Galadriel's athletic side in battle.
Now, whether that shot came before or after her confrontation with Sauron, we will never know. My guess is Galadriel managed to sneak away from battle to look for Gandalf, and upon releasing him, she is then confronted by Sauron, and she's able to hold him off long enough...maybe with the light of earendil...that thing should be more potent in her hands I would imagine...

Maybe Galadriel lulls Sauron to "sleep" for a little while, much like Lúthien did. This way she buys enough time to heal Gandalf.
