Why did Sauron come back when he did?

6 Answers. The reason it took so long for Sauron to “return” (considering he never really left Middle Earth) was because he had put most of his power, strength and will into The One Ring. This meant that even though his physical form was destroyed he would still exist.

ANSWER: J.R.R. Tolkien all but completely ruled out the possibility that Sauron might return as a Dark Lord to trouble Middle-earth.

What does it mean when Gandalf turns white?

When Gandalf died and was sent back, he was sent back in Saruman’s role – the head of the Istari. So Gandalf was made Gandalf the White, as he says ‘Saruman as he should be’. So the head of the Istari’s colour is designated as white, so Gandalf was sent back as the White as he was the new head.
