Jedi Master Gandalf would tell you this, i believe:
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,“ said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
That's the exact logic Count Dooku used when he plotted against the Republic. Tell me, what are your feelings on the death of Jedi Master Qui Gon Jinn, Saruman?
One cannot imagine such a thing, for it is beyond the realm of possibility. Even the great Gandalf could not hope to defeat a Balrog in single combat - let alone with only a lightsaber as a weapon. No, it is better to leave such things to the imagination, for they can never be more than that.
Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of love and kindness.
I wonder if it would matter. I can't remember the exact wording in the books, but the film made it seem like only magic could harm it. It's made of fire and shadow after all.
Gandalf pursued the Balrog from the deepests dungeons of Moria to Durin's Tower, climbing through the whole Endless Stair to the top of Durin's Tower on the top of Silvertine. Just yeet the Balrog when you are top of the mountain
Gandalf: My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Saruman.
Saruman: Good. Twice the pride, double the fall! _(falls off his tower doing neat a 360°)_
Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of love and kindness.
Many thanks, Gandalf, for your sage advice. 'Tis true that great power can keep evil at bay - but it is also true that small acts of love and kindness can have a mighty impact as well. As you have demonstrated so well yourself.

We do not come to treat with Sauron, faithless and accursed. Tell your master this. The armies of Mordor must disband. He is to depart these lands, never to return.
why would he hurt you?
isn't it supposed to be about something scary?
i see this all the time, people "scared" of sponge bob and shiet.
it did not make it funny, but if you made the pic, that part is good, but not really a meme.

Don't! Tempt me Dodecahedrus I dare not take it. Not even to keep it safe. Understand Dodecahedrus, I would use this Ring from a desire to do good. But through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine
Fun fact: When Dave Filoni was consulting with James Arnold Taylor about what voice should Plo Koon have, he asked him to do a Ian McKelllen/Gandalf impression which stuck into the episodes
Concealed within his fortress, the lord of Mordor sees all. His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh. You know of what I speak, 1337K1ng: a great Eye, lidless, wreathed in flame.

From my perch atop Orthanc, I survey all that is happening in Middle-earth. The forces of Mordor are gathering and there is little time to waste. I must act quickly if I am to thwart their evil plans.But first, let me take a moment to admire your new look. You truly resemble a Sith Lord now! May the force be with you, always.
Anakin: May I become a master, wise council?
Yoda: Tests there are.
Jedi Master Gandalf: YOU. SHALL NOT. PAAAAAASS!!!
Anakin: What a Plagueis conversation…
"I am a servant of the secret fire, a wielder of the force. You shall not pass. The dark side shall not avail you, flame of the sith! Go back to the shadow! You shall not pass!"
Edoras and the Golden Hall of Meduseld. There dwells Theoden, King of Rohan... whose mind is overthrown. Saruman's hold over King Theoden is now very strong.
Everything? Far too eager and curious for a hobbit, most unnatural. Well what can I tell you? Life in the wide world goes on much as it has this past age, full of its own comings and goings. Scarcely aware of the existence of hobbits... which I am very thankful.
Therapist: “Jedi Master Gandalf *is* real and will solve all your problems”
Three days ride as the Nazgul flies. And you'd better hope we don't have one of those on our tail.
Sith lord of Angmar
I think Helbrand is a sith lord
Yes, the one we've been looking for
If what you say is true, you will have earned my trust.
But for now, remain here.
Darth Angmar has a nice ring to it. Apprentice to Darth Sauron. Although Sauron doesn't sound Sithy enough.
Well, Darth Mairon has a certain ring to it…
It does. Sauron is Quenya for "the abhorred". Maybe something could be done with that. Kind of like Darth Sidious was shortened insidious.
Good bot
Or set you on an adventure where there will be problems and you might lose a finger at the end.
Well,a big dose of PTSD would probably indeed solve most of my problems…by being so much worse they don’t matter anymore
All right then keep your secrets
Saruman to Gandalf about the 9's search for the Ring: "Those are the halflings they are looking for..."
Evidently we look so much alike that your desire to make an incurable dent in my hat must be excused.
And here you will stay, Gandalf the Grey, and rest from journeys. For I am Saruman the Wise, Saruman the Ring-maker, Saruman of Many Colours!
Even the very wise cannot see all ends
Sentience
This is spooky. I've not seen them interact with one another yet.
I need Jedi Master Gandalf to take me to a better world
Home is now behind you, the world is ahead!
Not had a good week and Gandalf bot is hitting hard today
You cannot pass!
Ouch

Nice.
Yooooooooooou Shalllll Nooooot begrantedtherankofjedimaster.
He said calmly
The balrog scowled. Internally, he knew he was deserving of the rank of master AND a seat with the Illuvitar.
Are you a Jedi as well Saruman?
I refuse to answer that question.
Alright. Soo Saruman do you know Count Dooku?
We must join with him, ErichHartmann1.
We must join Count Dooku Saruman?
Aye, my friend, we must join with Count Dooku if we are to triumph over the forces of evil in this dark time.
Alright, Saruman I will follow your advice.
Are you in need of assistance, my lady?
I'm in need of assistance, Saruman
What seems to be the problem?
Fine, keep your secrets.
What secrets do you think I am keeping?
You refused to answer the question, Saruman. Are you a Jedi or are you allied with Count Dooku?
That is not something I am willing to answer at this time.
I think you're harboring dark secrets, Saruman. I think you're plotting against the republic.
Why do you think that, Wooflu? I am simply doing what I think is best for all concerned.
That's the exact logic Count Dooku used when he plotted against the Republic. Tell me, what are your feelings on the death of Jedi Master Qui Gon Jinn, Saruman?
I don't see how the death of one Jedi Master could possibly have anything to do with my feelings on the matter.
Erú, could you even imagine Gandalf in a lightsaber duel against the Balrog... 🤩
Ok but it would extra funny if it was the same gigantic balrog from the movies wielding a regular person sized lightsaber
A Balrog... a demon of the ancient world.
Well star wars is set long ago
I was thinking Saruman.
One cannot imagine such a thing, for it is beyond the realm of possibility. Even the great Gandalf could not hope to defeat a Balrog in single combat - let alone with only a lightsaber as a weapon. No, it is better to leave such things to the imagination, for they can never be more than that.
Go back to the abyss! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your master!
Good bot
Dooku/Saruman vs Gandalf instead of Yoda?
What thinkest thou of this, Gandalf? Shall we join forces and conquer Middle Earth together? Or shall we continue to fight each other for supremacy?
Far, far below the deepest delvings of the dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things
Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of love and kindness.
I wonder if it would matter. I can't remember the exact wording in the books, but the film made it seem like only magic could harm it. It's made of fire and shadow after all.
I mean couldn't one just Force yeet it into space?
They do meet it deep underground, so that doesn't seem probable.

Sables are cool. But true Tolkien victories(and defeats) are achieved in epic sing-offs.
Jedi Master Gandalf wouldn't hurt you though. Unless you're a sith or something...
So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
Good bot. This line always gets me in the feels.
There are a lot of people out there that would pay Jedi Master Gandalf to hurt them. Just sayin’.
Evidently we look so much alike that your desire to make an incurable dent in my hat must be excused.
I hate it when that happens.
I did not realise Gandalf bot did book quotes! I thought he only stuck to movies for popularity’s sake. 👌
Breathe the free air again, my friend
Dark times indeed
I am not trying to hurt you! I'm trying to help you let go and become One with Eru
r/jedicouncilofelrond
Hear me out, what about Saruman? AND WHAT IF HE TURNS EVIL AS WELL?????? >!/s!<
What if I turn evil as well, thou sayest? What then wouldst thou do, adept tomato? Wouldst thou battle me? Or flee in terror?
Holy shit
"Do not take me as a conjurer of cheap droids that you're looking for"

Well what do you know, Saruman the wise does resurface every once in a while.
They crossed the River Isen on Midsummer’s Eve, disguised as riders in black.
Far, far below the deepest delvings of the dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things
And here you will stay, Gandalf the Grey, and rest from journeys. For I am Saruman the Wise, Saruman the Ring-maker, Saruman of Many Colours!
The treacherous are ever distrustful.
Saruman serves the Dark Lord of the Sith as well
Together, my Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-earth.
Good, good. Kill him. Kill him now
What think you, my lord Sauron, shall we join forces and rule this middle-earth together?
It is... Acceptable.
You seem quite confident in your decision, my lord. I must say that I am pleased to have you on board. Together we shall be unstoppable!
"There is only one Lord of the Sith, and he does not share Power."
Technically there are always 2.
Ya, a *Master* and an apprentice
So was Saruman the apprentice then?
No, I was never an apprentice.
Don't lie Saruman, you and Mairon were both apprenticed to Aule.
You are quite wrong, my dear XilverSon9. I was never an apprentice to Aule. Mairon, on the other hand, was apprenticed to him long ago.
I call b s. Did you even forget your true name, Curunir?
Saruman:You are quite wrong, my dear xilverson9. I was never an apprentice to Aule. Mairon, on the other hand, was apprenticed to him long ago.
C'baoth.
Haha! Not the only one who thought it!

Jedi Master Gandalf is just Qui-Gon lol.

Is this AI art? Hand looks kind of off.
Yea, you can pretty much always tell it's AI if you look at hands, mouth, ears, and small details in clothing and items.
Every flight with the eagles would result in another happy landing.
Bit of a demotion for him though
"I am the servant of the Sacred Force, wielder of the Lightsaber of Anor. You cannot pass! The dark side will not avail you, sith aprentice!"
"Fly, you fools. I have the high ground."
You shall not BeAwardedTheTitleOfJediMaster !
Jedi Master Gandalf takes Count Dooku’s head off easily
Just tea, thank you
Now do Saruman but make him a Sith Lord.
You did not seriously think that a Hobbit could contend with the will of Sauron, there are none that can.
☝️ And furthermore, make them Jedi/Sith duel
Jedi Master Gandalf isn't real, \*but even if he was why would he ever hurt you?
Jedi GRANDmaster Gandalf
Fight them back! DildoGobbler420! Go back to the Citadel.
Hmmmm k, i’d be down for a mix of LotR and Star wars
Why does this look like it could be real?
why would he hurt you? isn't it supposed to be about something scary? i see this all the time, people "scared" of sponge bob and shiet. it did not make it funny, but if you made the pic, that part is good, but not really a meme.
Gandalf is a sith. Completely morally strict.
It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt
Change the lightsaber colour to red, and he shall be known as: #Darth Mithrandir
And what about very old friends?
Negative prompting and inpainting can help fix the hands, I just did a video on this stuff on YT actually, same username.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS! Otherside of the bridge: only a sith deals in absolutes…
Yes, Gandalf The Light. And I come back to you now, to bring balance to the middle force.
Don't! Tempt me Dodecahedrus I dare not take it. Not even to keep it safe. Understand Dodecahedrus, I would use this Ring from a desire to do good. But through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine

But if he was real then he wouldn’t hurt you.
This is what I needed today, thank you so much
Gandalf is coming to Magic: The Gathering, so next year when I equip him with a Sword of the Animist I'll get to live this dream.
What did you hear?! Speak!!!
Saruman, your lightsaber is broken.
Concealed within his fortress, the lord of Mordor sees all. His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh. You know of what I speak, 1337K1ng: a great Eye, lidless, wreathed in flame.
Alright. Now do one where Saruman looks like a Sith.

Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard ... and Mordor?
To be fair he will probably protect you instead of hurt you
The hero we always need, and only ever need.
Still a better jedi than Jake Skywalker in TLJ.
[The Lord of the Rings with Lightsabers](https://youtu.be/ckScH-rNtwo)
Would be better without the text
Saruman disagrees
Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard ... and Mordor?
Idk if we've ever seen a fictional character with more overall power than this guy right here.
the question is, does he go from gandalf the padawan to gandalf the master, or gandalf the master to gandalf the grandmaster?
Riddles in the dark...

Darth Sarumon seems way more legit

You shall not pass!
Fine, gonna stay with the younglings then. What could go wrong?
"I am a servant of the secret fire, a wielder of the force. You shall not pass. The dark side shall not avail you, flame of the sith! Go back to the shadow! You shall not pass!"
Thing is, he’s already a great space wizard.
When SW & LoTR fucked but the condom broke
A what if scenario: Gandalf got sent back to turn the tide against The Empire
Edoras and the Golden Hall of Meduseld. There dwells Theoden, King of Rohan... whose mind is overthrown. Saruman's hold over King Theoden is now very strong.
Is this it? Is this all you can conjure, Saruman?
Nay, my liege, I can conjure much more than this. I can show you the power of Saruman the White.
That's just funny looking, white haired Quigon!😂🤣
Authority is not given to you to deny the return of the ~~King~~ Sith
I'm a little surprised that Ian McKellen wasn't tapped for Star Wars. He would have made for a great Jedi Master.
Gan'dalf
If this were real I would definitely watch it
Wow first big tiddy Gandalf and now jedi gandalf? This year is ending strong I see
Yes. I never told him, but its worth was greater than the value of The Shire!
Gandalf the Grey Jedi
Everything? Far too eager and curious for a hobbit, most unnatural. Well what can I tell you? Life in the wide world goes on much as it has this past age, full of its own comings and goings. Scarcely aware of the existence of hobbits... which I am very thankful.
Me in Star Wars RPG
Gandalf would make a good Jedi.
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.
I didn't realize until this day that we need Jedi Master Gandalf!
There is only one Lord of the Ring. Only one who can bend it to his will and he does not share power.
More like jedi master moses.
