Cuts off Frodos [legs and arms] [finger] anyway

In The Lord of The Rings movie, Gollum bites off Frodo’s finger ^[1]^.

Fun fact: they filmed the volcano scenes for LoTR on Mustafar at the same place they filmed Star Wars.

On Mustafar, an outer ring planet. It took a bit to get the crew out but there’s no denying it was worth the effort.

Shame that half the crew was killed by that one re-activated protocol droid.
For those not initiated, HK-47 was on Mustafar during the clone wars. The CIS reactivated him, the last mistake they made to say the least.

On one hand, the Empire could vapourize Middle Earth with a super laser. On the other hand, Palpatine was just like, a dude who was skilled at using the Force, whereas Sauron was some kind of demon/angel/demi-god. Not sure how it would go.
The cosmologies are difficult to compare because “power” in middle earth is just kinda … power. Sauron doesn’t need to have a “chain lightning lvl 10, 100.000 damage per second” ability. He can just … exist, and all the evil (or just lesser willed) creatures around will just fully accept him as their leader and do whatever he says. It a cosmic force or aura that is never quantified in any way. Same with ganfalf. He does very little magic. His power is also mostly in his presence that compels the good guys to do good things.

would Palpatine desire the ring and therefore succumb to it or is he Palpatine bombadill?
Would a space armada capable of destroying planets be a threat to any maiar ?
would the force influence sauron?
To what extent would saurons abilities be present in a 1on1 combat scenario against the ol sithy. same question for big papa palps. ?
In my head, the fight scene would have few words and would be a contest of the power of their respective universes.
In this way we see force lightning and magic both colliding but id expect that since both are weakened in their corpreal states, we wouldn’t see grand hand to hand or rather light saber cutting through enchanted sword. If it came to that, palpy wins. but then there’s the whole ring thing. I guess. if palpy succumbs to it, sauron wins.
