I get it, but like others have said the story has all but painted the stranger as him. He uses Gandalf lines, is clad in grey, is unfazed by fire, and has bonded with the Harfoots (the ancestors of Hobbits). I feel they did it because they are trying to appeal to a larger audience than fanboys. As such Gandalf is easily recognizable as a name to the non educated. I think deviating from Gandalf might be harder than just including him.

The Stranger is a Blue Wizard. I highly doubt they are going to complicate the story by inserting Gandalf where he doesn’t belong.

It’s definitely Gandalf. In addition to the verbatim dialogue they show the moths when he destroys those beings. Gandalf has a thing for moths.

Bug lover? I'm talking about them making a very obvious point about The Stranger drawing life from different plants/animals resulting in their death.

See, that's what I was thinking. It all lines up to be one of the Blue Wizards, with the timing and the need to go to Rhun. It fits just right. Also, the Blue Wizards have almost no written history, so the story can go absolutely anywhere with them. It opens a lot of possibilities story wise. I guess we have to wait about a year to find out.

Another thing to think about. If the Stranger is a Blue Wizard, there may be an ultimate reveal of a second Blue Wizard. Perhaps that is what the Stranger is seeking as he heads East. |

Watching this season of ROP and the discourse in this thread has provided a lot of info I didn't know....that I didn't know. I decided to rewatch the first three movies. I'm halfway through TFOTR and have picked up on a lot of things I didn't notice before.
