    Nah, the eye wasn’t Sauron himself. Nobody ever implied that in the movie that I can recall. It was an extension of his power

      It was the sole embodiment of his power shown in the movies after Isildur struck him down. It’s really quite reasonable that people would think that is Sauron.

      • I mean I always assumed it was just the form his leftover power took in the physical world while his real body was slowly reforming in some dark shadow realm.

        Like a little window for Sauron to see the mortal plane through and push his influence through
