This may very well have been discussed once upon a time, but search for this theory only comes back to "Kingdom Hearts Unlimited". Idk what that is, but it seems like a fan based alternate story in which Sauron from Lord of the Rings does appear.
I needed a good reference image of the MoM "Eye". Most of the Keyblade images just weren't cutting it. As I was looking at them though (and I think I remember noticing this when playing the games) the keyblade eyes (MoM "Eye") looks a LOT like Saurons Eye from Lord of the Rings. I never read the books sadly, but if I'm remembering right, I think my buddy said that Saurons Eye had a limited ability to see into the future. The first LotR film came out in 2001, and KH in 2002.
To be fair, the whole Dragons Eye design is... not generic, but not original either. Idk.
What are your thoughts
MoM eye on the left unedited. Sauron Eye with color layer on the right. No other edits, just the color.
