Lord Of The Rings Movies Will Have A Misleading Name (Because Of Sauron)

While theupcomingLord of The Ringsmoviesare state to be based on elements from the original books andThe Hobbitrather than related works , they will nevertheless face a major deed problem . Because theylikely wo n’t directly involve the story of the Dark Lord Sauron , who has been featured in the original trilogy andThe Rings of Power , the titles will technically be misnomer . This is a problem that is already facingThe War of the Rohirrim , which details a battle between Rohan and a Dunlending regular army that features little to no involvement from Sauron himself .

Sauron is the titular " lord of the ring . "

The reason these title of respect would be misnomer is that Sauron is the titular " lord of the tintinnabulation . “The " one gang to rule them all " at the core ofLOTRwas created by Sauronand holds sway over the other rings of power . Those rings were distributed among the races of Middle - globe , but all drew their power fromSauron ’s One Ring .

The mark name is too inviolable , and audiences may be unaware of next movies ' connection to the franchise if it is n’t include . While removing theLOTRtitle worked for theHobbittrilogy , the originalHobbitnovel is well - make love enough that it did n’t cause issues .
