Yeah, Saruman was DEFINITELY a copycat. Sauron and Gandalf were the main people that he copied, because they were probably the only ones that he thought were worthy of being copied. Saruman couldn't even think of an original way to die - the whole cloud of smoke thing had already been done (in much more spectacular fashion) by Sauron. We might as well just call Saruman "Little S" and Sauron "Big S".

Saruman is a morally weak character. He's the kind of guy that is far too worried about what others are doing, constantly looking around and saying "Damn, that's good, I'm going to do that!" or "Yess.... Orcs.... BWA HA HA HAA!!" If he'd just stuck with what he already knew, I'm sure he would have fared much better. That voice power stuff is mui impressive. Did Jedi Knights copy him??
