Edwards claims it was beyond Celebrimbor’s control.
“Galadriel has never said that this man is Sauron.
“When he appears at the gates, Celebrimbor is pleased to see him.
He doesn’t know and he’s building to his forge, but to what end?
In this season, he’s feeling, ‘No, I’m in my place.
I can invite this guy in if I want to.’
He resists, but then he goes to see him.”
Vickers agreed that Celebrimbor was in a tough spot and that Sauron knew exactly how to manipulate him.
I wanted to give Annatar a very different feel on screen than Halbrand.
We see that idea gets squashed pretty fast.”
“Sauron is good at that stuff.
“The answer is obvious,” Edwards added.
“Sauron has got him under a spell.
Sauron is extraordinarily persuasive in ways that aren’t obvious.”
That persuasiveness has now set the elves on a path that will change the face of Middle-earth forever.
New episodes will be released every Thursday.
