I’ve been giddy as a school girl with a stupid grin on my face ever since I’ve seen the teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Oh glee! But noticeable by his absence from the trailer was one of the new villains General Grievous. Came across this nice little picture of him from the official Star Wars website. Don’t know who General Grievous is? Well here’s a nice little description:
From within the ranks of the Confederacy came General Grievous, a brilliant strategist unhindered by compassion or scruples. His lightning strikes and effective campaigns caused his reputation to grow in the eyes of a frightened Republic. To many, he eclipsed the threat posed by Count Dooku, the charismatic leader of the Confederacy’s political battlefields — Grievous was the face of the enemy.
A twisted melding of flesh and metal, General Grievous’ body is a deadly weapon forged by the cutting edge developers of the Confederacy. Within the hardened carapace beats the heart of a remorseless killer. Grievous hunted Jedi for sport and proudly displayed his victims’ lightsabers around his belt as trophies of his conquests. His unorthodox fighting form and mechanical enhancements gave him an edge in close-quarters combat, and his strategic ingenuity and flawless cunning rendered him almost invincible against the Jedi.
I’m gonna puke I’m so excited!
Ok, first of all… Grevious is alive. He was NEVER a WAS. He is still alive, it even says so in the Expanded Universe in StarWars.com. If you can’t find that, just look up “General Grievous is alive?” in google. You will then find your evidence of him being alive.
It says, Like Darth Maul and Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku) before him, Grievous’s appearance and role in the film is meant to foreshadow a characteristic of Darth Sidious’s ultimate apprentice, Darth Vader. Darth Maul was an enforcer of Sidious’s will, sent to keep control over Sidious’s other servants, and kill any who resist him. Count Dooku was an intimidating former Jedi with a commanding presence who became a Sith, and Grievous was kept alive through machine parts as a cyborg.
OMG I love it when I am right.
Just to say, Grevious was fighting a war against the droids(The Seperatists), on the planet Falucia, he was “supposedly” killed when dooku had one the of the droid tri-fighters kamikaze its way into him. Which caused a massive explosion as it was next to a fueling station for Grevious’s army’s fighters. Then dooku cleared up the remains of Grevious’s troops, cleared the fighter debris, and picked up Grevious’s “dead” body. He then had them hook him up into one of those life monitors to check how much pulse he had left, as soon as that happened, he had low low vitals. Dooku decided to give him the droid body of Grevious, and then offered to teach him the ways of lightsaber combat if he would fight for the Seperatists, Grevious, having no body, had no choice, he chose yes, and was to command the droid armies at the end of his training. All according to Sidious’s Plans.
well to tell you the truth i got all of grievous’s information when i read the book “labyrinth of evil” it tells the story of what happened a month before the battle of Coruscant.It tells of how grievous became commander of the droid armies and also it also explains how grievous got in that shuttle crash.Alright now before grievous was turned into the monsterous alien cyborg we know as from ROTS he was part of an alien race called the kalee.Now during that time the kalee were in the middle of a battle against another alien spieces called the Huk,so what happened was the kalee had no one to help them with there taxes,food and water were scarce and no one was helping them not even the republic!And so then outta the blue appears San Hill one of the seperatists and leader of the intergalactic banking clan,San Hill noticed genereal grievous,who was at the time a leader of the kalee army.As Hill noticed grievous’s strategies and killing methods he asked grievous if he would like to join the seperatist cause which was the republic VS the confederacy of indepentsystems(seperatists.Grievous said “no,i have my own problems to deal with”.well Hill really didnt take that well he really wanted grievous as there droid commander ,so because after that response hill went to dooku and told of grievous and then dooku told sidious.Sidious and dooku planned to leave a bomb on a shuttle grievous would be on…..and then BAM!!!….it happened….grievous opened his eyes and was found floating in a banta tank and found there was little left of his body.Grievous was then told by Hill “we can save you,we have the technology you will walk again,that is if you are willing to join the seperatist cause”desperate to stay alive grievous said “alright”.Later he was taken to geonosis were the genosians were experts at cyborg technology.grievous was then created into what we see him today,a CYBORG.thats pretty much it there is some more stuff but i figure you guys will just have to ask me now.
General Grievous bla, bla, bla i kurwa bla bla bla, i tak do usranej śmierci. (General Grievous is good men) :)
Haha, whoops. and if finally shows up. Sorry for the multiple postings of everything. My apologies for not being more patient. :-P
Weird, my post isn’t showing up. But it’s sorta long. I’ll try posting it again. It answers all your questions, DarthGrievous.
Uh. DarthGrievous. I think you are mistaken in having read my post. I didn’t say that Grievous was Darth Maul. In fact, I wrote a rather long comment (on June 6) about how impossible that is…so uhm…I dunno, scroll back up and read it? If you want my proof of how Grievous is NOT being Darth Maul, then I’d say my source is starwars.com, but I do not support the idea that Grievous = Maul.
And just to save Chris some time…or in case he never comes back, all that info is also found in Grievous’ databank entry. You can also cross-reference with Star Wars: Visionaries (Tells the story of how he got blown up and ended up agreeing to be IBC’s intimidator/warrior forever) and/or the Visual Dictionary.

And if you wanted me to be REALLY specific on the story… Grievous survived the shuttle explosion with pretty much just his torso and his arms up to his mid-forarms (so everything below about the belly button and his hands = gone). And San Hill was basically like “You, Kalee’s decorated champion, can die from a mere shuttle explosion or you can lend us your services and eventually return to your people as their GREATEST hero. And in return, IBC will pay off Kalee’s debts and rid it of famine”. And Grievous is pretty much like “fine, for Kalee”.
So then in his transformation, I think they just took that stuff (organs, whatever) out of the dying torso (and it was dying, visionaries said so) and stuck them in the pressurized organ jar. And there it sits until it gets ‘sploded by stupid Obi Wan.
Arg. You’d think with all that precision engineering that went into Grievous’ body that they’d be able to protect the damned thing from blasters. And WHY would you house organs in a flammable liquid when you’re a cyborg?! *sigh* Geonosian technology obviously has some kinks to work out.
I agree with “the awesome one” STFU SHUT THE FUCK UP,damn.Yo bitch ass don’t got the balls enough to send some shit back.If you say sh about meor any of these other guys,yo bitch ass gay like you’ve always been.
Grievous is not darth maul. he was a white alien that was remade by sidous and dooku.he wants revenge on the jedis because dooku and sidous told him the jedis blew him up.Firaga if you got proof about general grievous being darth maul tell me the web site.Who else thinks general grieous was killed in a cheap way? Jedis don’t use guns.Chris what web site does it say about general grievuos being built.
yupe i think that general grievous was awesome in starwars EP3,i know this is probably everyone elses favorite part but i like when grievous gets his 4 lightsabers out and twirls um around that was COOL!i also like the part were obi wan-kenobi jumps down to where grievous and a bunch of droids are i mean that took some guts.i kinda wish that the magna guards A.K.A. grievous’s bodyguards were in it more ohhh well.well whats ur guys favorite part of the movie?
ohh ok i got ya ,ya he does fight with 5 i was just refering to the movie ep 3.
Chris – In the microseries, Grievous fights with all 4 arms + 1 foot/leg (Cuz he still has to stand on something). So he’s holding 5 lightsabres . And I agree, I like his coughy-ness, it adds character. As opposed to the mechanical, static-ed speech in the microseries.
uhhhh GG Jr um u got something wrong there pal…..count dooku and darth sidious knew that grievous kicked ass before he was turned into a cyborg..when the banking clan asked for him to be the leader of the droid armys he said no he didnt wanna get into it.. well dooku & sidious said fine if thats the way ya want it so while grievous was on a ship dooku planted a bomb on the ship.when they tryed to repair grievous all that remained of grievous was his brain,spinal cord,and internal organs and thats how he became a cyborg.when he awoke dooku and sidious told grievous that the rebels where in charge of the bomb that nearly costs his life..hence why grievous has detecated his life for REVENGE!..even thought it wasnt them.and so he took up the offer to be the leader of the droid army, and grievous has 4 lightsabers!not 5!!where the hell are u?!and the coughing isnt annyoing to me it adds alittle more villengry to grievous.
you watchec the micro series? fag
The General was a warlord on his planet,but do to the war it was hit where he was at or something.Count Dooku had him built to be the droid leader and they left the eye sockets on the mask so u could see his reptillian eyes.Hes a alien in a droid case.
On the mini series he kicked ass.He was break dancin and fightin at the same time.His max limit of light sabers are 5.He would need the other foot to balance on.It would have been better if he was Vaders
right hand man.I doubt that he used to be a fat-ass worm with arms,theres no jabba anywhere.He probaly would have kicked Obi-Wan’s ass if Windu hadnt nearly crushed his insides at the end of the micro series,that coughin was annoying.
Grievous is not Maul. Grievous was a Kaleesh warlord that debuted in Episode 2, unseen though. In the wake of Geonosis, he was labelled Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies. Trained in the lightsaber arts by Dooku, Grievous’ collection of lightsabers from killed Jedi has grown since. Neither Sith nor Force-sensitive, Grievous is a match for most Jedi.
whats wrong with u guys!!??general grievous was stinken awesome!i mean sure he died easly by obi-wan but i mean come’on!obi-wan is the 4th most powerful jedi those other jedi grevious killed must have been poweful but not as poweful..i also hear compliants from my own friends and they all say “why does he run from the battles”and i said well hmmm lets see i wouldnt want to stick around with the 2 powerful jedis who have a record for kicking some ass!and whats this shit about that loser darth maul??DARTH MAUL SUCKS!if grievous and darth maul had a lightsaber battle darth maul would be on the ground in 2 seconds!grievous looks no where near that dipstick…and ughhh guys….episode 1…….really…really.sucks!!!i admit grievous should have been in it more but hey we cant all get what we want..look on the bright side jar jar binks didnt open his goddamn fat mouth!!haha
does anyone know what weapons and features general grievous’s Belbullab-22 incorporates
I didn’t get the chance to ask for her hyperspace account, but I came accross something that said that Grievous’ flagship was a Trade Federation Cruiser, here’s the databank entry.
http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/tradefederationcruiser/
I’ll tell you if I can get my cousin to let me use her hyperspace account.
Does anyone know what weapons general grievous’s starfighter has.
Hey everyone. I haven’t been on this post board like…ever. But I looked it up in the star wars databank and cross-referenced with about 15 other sources, and it turns out General Grievous hails from Kalee (species: Kaleesh) while Darth Maul is from Iridonia (species: Zabrak). 2 different species means 2 different people. Right? So even if the comics said like the exact words “why Obi-wan! General Grievous is Darth Maul! The horror!”, it still leaves a horrific, gaping, Boba-Fett-eating plot hole…and I think G. Lucas is a little better than that, don’cha think?
If you little kids are done trying to make comebacks better than my abilities, your going up to something way past what you can accomplish. Sure LIL HOTTY was sticking up for me, but who says i woudnt make fun of her too. And thanks for the compliment about the big balls, they are pretty big in fact…But i didnt come here to put down what everyone else likes doing, in fact, i think General Grievous is pretty cool, and so are all you. I was just making fun of the fags that either stuck up for who i made fun of in the first place or just were absolutly gay and dont deserve to have a computer. And about the name, you probably dont even know what it means and dont understand that its a good name for the internet for the kids who dont want little fags knowing their name. Now im not really trying to point fingers, but all the people that threatend me, bring it the fuck on you little bitch’s
Grievous was awesome. I saw the movie awile ago, but just haven’t got around to posting. It was awesome how he could use 4-5 sabers at the same time. But what this post is mostly about is weither or not grievous is maul. It could have said so in the comic book, but I think they would have made it alot more clear in the movie if he really was. Something like seeing the pard around his eyes red and black, or him still using a double sided saber. If grievous is maul I think that is a stupid idea. We can have our own opinion.
Don’t hurt me, but I thought Grievous was lookin’ pretty good. The only thing that really disappointed me was the poor acting on the main characters’ part, and the fact that Grievous is supposed to be one of the greatest Jedi hunter’s around, yet he was snuffed out by some human worry-wart!
I wanna bite Obi’s head off and regurgitate it to the Mon Clamari! That was how mad I was when Obi Wan so easily defeated someone 10 times cooler and charismatic than Vader! But the General was awesome in the Clone Wars Chapter 20. He was fighting with his feet and he grabbed that cone-head dude by the face with his foot. I was freaking out! Then he died in Ep3 and I got kinda’ agitated… He was one of the best looking half-droids Star Wars has seen!
Okay, I’m done ranting…
Sorry about the double post, but im new here, im used to IGNs format.
NTW, I think Grevous would be cooler if he used nothing but double-bladed lightsabers. And maybye if he takes mace windu’s lightsaber.

STFU, man, you have serious issues, Going in front of at least twenty people who like something, then insulting what they like, may take a bit of balls, but actually doing it is a sign if idiocracy.
And, STFU is not a name, Come on, even MY name is better than yours.
And, LIL HOTTIE, youre just sucking up to him so he doesnt insult you as well.
He has more than 4 lightsabers in his collection but he carries the 4 as they were his particular favorite, from the 4 Jedis he has killed, namely:
K’Kruhk
Jmmaar
Puroth
Nystammall
I’ve always wondered is it’s possible for General Grievous to wield 6 lightsabers at the same time. Does anyone know? I haven’t seen he movie yet, but I have seen him in the Clone Wars on CN and I thought he was bitchin’.
dudes…i’ve read the comic too, general grievous IS darth maul. why do you think they take so many close ups of his face? they have the same yellow eyes! and red and black eyelids! what more proof do you want, as for the reason he cant use the force…he’s mostly robot and has barely and metachlorines because he’s barely sith…plus i think its bad for his condition.
ps. he also has qui-gons lightsaber so… go figure.
yoda is suppose to be so wise but he didnt know that the emperor was going to shock him with his lightning !!!
General Grievous? So uncivilized. LOL
I loved him wielding them 4 lightsabers and intimidating Obi Wan, that scene was way too kewl!
STFU is a moron. But grievous still rox!!!!!!
I think this movie is gonna be so tight.
I honestly expect to supercede everyones expectations, and that well all be astounded!!!
Seriously, E2 wasn’t THAT bad,…
I’m SO excited about seeing Anakin’s fianl transformation, and I expect the emotions to be extremely intense.
“…YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!”
If they make General Greivous half as cool as he was in Clone Wars he will be so sweet. I hope they dont change his fighting style either it was very unquie and unpredictable. The Jedis were not trained to fight or defend like that.
“Run Jedi… Run”

ok….. how about be mature and ignore STFU?
i cant till the moovie comes out ^.^ and also Grievous ROX! :D
I’m a f***ing moron. I totally suck ass.
I love lamp.
Hey STFU, you need to shut the fuck up before I beat ya bitch ass down you fuckin stool pusher.
I swear if you say anything else, I’ll find you and kick the shit outa you you faggot-ass queer. If your such a fuckin bitch, then you shouldn’t waste your time comin here. You piss me and all the others off so now it’s your turn to shut the fuck up dumbfuck!
SPOILER

SPOILER
ok, this is from the game, which is pretty awesome. Palpatine gets kidnapped, Anakin and Obi-wan go save him, fight Dooku, obi-wan gets taken out, anakin kills dooku. they then face grievous, who escapes. obi-wan goes after while anakin stays on coruscant with palpatine. obi-wan ends up killing grievous? not sure about this part, game unclear. anyway, back on coruscant, palpatine reveals himself to Mace Windu as Darth Sidious, and Mace is about to kill him when anakin walks in and stops him. Palpatine is now wrinkly old palpatine from return of jedi anakin ends up killing mace. Anakin is now corrupted, becomes lord vader and kills all the jedi, and the separatist leaders, the aliens from the first movie. Then OBi-wan and anakin fight on the lava world, obi-wan ends up winning, and the Sith Lord we all know and love comes to be as we know him
I’m sorry about that to everyone who will feel outraged. I’m just mad at people who ruin stuff that other people like to do. I probaly could have worded that better.
STFU, have you been fladunked or something?
I imagine I just ended this whole website…that no one is ever gonna leave comments ever again…If I did, I dont feel the least bit bad…your all fags anyways, except the person who made this site…your cool
Hey ya all whats up ?
having fun? STFU is soo right u dont have very good comebacks mr Not so awesome lol ……even i could come back with something far more incredible then that…..lol
And one more thing Mr Not-so Awesome one, your way to terrible at comebacks to even begin to go against me. If you’d ever played Starcraft, you’d no why no one ever goes against me with comebacks. I made friends with everyone in games because they’ed tell all their friends about me and they’ed either leave me alone or do what’s best for them and get on my good side.
Hey, I never had a grudge against you, but now that your being a little queer, im gonna have to make the rest of your life a living hell
and STFU, you need to shut the **** up cuz no one cares about your issues
Hey Mr. ieatlilcarr0tz…you have a lil carr0t you fag
Grievous is way cooler than Fett or Maul. I mean, could either of them wield 4 lightsabers at once?
And frankly, “ass”, I think you’d best directly never talk again because you have no clue what the hell your ever talking about you little bitch.
Anyone got balls enough to send me back a comeback bitches?
Your all fags. You hear me? All of you should just shut the hell up and the world would be a much better place! Damn it, you losers. Your all a bunch of losers…
OMFG I am sooo hyped to see the Episode III!!!
I can’t wait to see General Grievous because he looks like he kicks some serious ass. Ummm, so all of the Jedi die in this movie like Adi Galia and Plo Koon and Windu, and Luminara Unduli? That’s kinda sad, they’re sooo cool!
I can’t wait to go see it, I’m gonna pee myself!
:)
As I said before Grievous is a brand new character. Although it does make sence that he can’t use the force. In episode I they talked about having the force in your blood. Seeing grievous is about 93%ish a robot I don’t think he would have to much blood. This people saying grievous is maul or jango are really starting to tick me of.
Hey there BigDaddyDarkSide
Sorry to burst your bubble… but Grevious IS NOT Darth Maul. I’ve seen the movie already (you can read my review… just look in the left side bar and you can see the link there.)
If you watched any of the “Clone Wars” episodes, you’ll also know that Grevious dosn’t know anything about the force and was just recently trained in lightsaber tecniques by Darth Tyrannus (Count Dooku).
So once again… Grevious IS NOT Darth Maul… althought that would have been cool.
Sorry for the SPOILER!
Grievous is actually Darth Maul. It is Maul behind the mask…what I don’t know is if the heart or guts inside the torso are his as well…probably not, but take a good look at the exposed ears and eyes. The skin around the eyes too. It is Maul…I actually know that for sure. Heh…that rocks though, doesn’t it? Obi Wan does kill him. That’s twice he dealt with Maul. Kinda sucks though. Maul/Grievous are the greatest villains of all time.
I would have to disagree with GG replacing Vader. GG is cool, he rocks, but Vader is the focus of the series, you can’t have Star Wars without him…
The whole thing is about him. Except for Ep7, 8, & 9, which Lucas said he wasn’t going to make, which sucks. But still Vader was the balance to the force, he was the bringer of death to the Jedi. He was the Jedi’s hope gone bad…
Bob, I would have to agree with you though, the Dark Side is the coolest. They use the cooler light sabers(red ones), they have the cooler cloaks(black) and use cooler powers(force lightning). So yea, the Dark Side rocks!
I have to agree with you top yo. I tring to resist reading that post, but it keeps on sneaking up on me. What kind of name is fido anyway…
gg is awesome but you should not have told us how to fight. anyway grivious should be in episode 3,4,5 and 6 instead of vader but you shouldnt have told us how he dies so screw you ya coc ass bitch
You can see a new TV ad at starwars.com called “seduction” with new fotage of the general. My favorite is when you see a close up of his face. It really looks…evil.
What’s the point of having to spoil the deal for all reading here without the slightest bit of spoiler warning? Thanks a lot Fido…
Anyway, Grievous looks awesome, and he was amazing in the Clone Wars series, so he should prove to be a great villain in Episode III. I hope he really will shows some great lightsaber skills in the movie.
I almost read how Grievous dies. When I was reading the post when I got to “shot” I stopped. I don’t want to know. Don’t trick me into reading it.
Grievous wields 4 sabers, he gets shot and killed by obi-wan, he removes his mask, his eyeballz popout. Yea, that is all true.
i read in a Star Wars comic general grievous called darth sidous master
general grievous is cool i think he should take the place of vader but like the other two:maul and jango fett, the only two characters in any of these movies (aside from the background jedi) to die in the same movie they debuted insuffers the same crappy fate, a footnote in star wars history
The Dark Side is the coolest.
I’m not saying I wish the emperor succeeded in his plan, and that the empire won, but in general the dark side is the coolest.
It is a shame that someone will kill General Grievous (Don’t tell me how, I wan’t it to be a surprise). I think GG is the best thing that ever happened to the dark side. If I was in star wars I would defiantly be on the dark side.
OK the General does not have Sith and/or Jedi powers, as a matter of fact, he does not have teh power of the Force at all. He is a cyborg alien who’s soul purpose in life is to lead the Serperatist Droid Army to victory against the Clones, and to take down an Jedi who dares challenge his power. He will be a massive villian to battle in revenge of the Sith, along side teh Emepror and Anakin Skywalker. This is so because Darth Tyrannus/Count Dooku will be killed early in the movie, most likely by Anakin with Palpatine watching.
All Hail the General Grievous
Hail!
All hail Gerneral Grievous
The movie will rule, just like the others ALL THE OTHERS even PM and AotC. So prequel haters can kiss my ass. They were good, maybe AotC was weaker than PM if you think about it, besides Lucas is a fu***ng brilliantly clever man, and you all know (Okay Jar-Jar was a dumb idea but he wasn’t as annoying as say Dobby or Gollum etc)
I can’t see to much difference between the cartoon version and the movie version. The picture above isn’t very good. If you see that German tape you’ll see grievous is pretty sweet. He’s also not as fat in his cape as that picture brings you to believe.
The cartoon version is much more sleek and well desighned. they should have put it in the movie =(
General Grievous is the new villan in Star Wars episode III. He has nothing to do with Maul. Maul died and is gone forever. We have not seen him anywhere before, and he isn’t anyone from episode I or II. He doesn’t have Jango’s or Maul’s brains in him. He is a totally new person in star wars, invented by Lucas to lead the Droid army.
TELL ME DAMNIT
Ummm…Who the hell is General Grevious…Is he like…Maul?Bcuz i heard his name is “Darth Maulbot”
Hey Franklin I think we all know that. :-)
Grevious may be a Jedi hunter, but the most effective Jedi hunter is Darth Vader who will oversee the near extinction of the Jedi.
Yes he will be Chip but very briefly.
is dooku in episode 3?
I am really exitied to see grievous in the movies. He is in the trailer. In the part where you see Obi-one surronded by droids, you can see the general and 4 of his body guards in the upper right hand cornor.
Very well said Glenn. :-)
As for the Villains not sticking around and Vader being the only “Through” Character, you must remember that this whole saga is about “The Rise, Fall and Salvation of Anakin a.k.a Vader”.
With that in mind, it is possible to enjoy each character’s interaction without confusing the issue.
I cannot wait for Ep3. But as usual there will always be the Know-all Critics… Just Enjoy!!!
Grievous aint a Sith.
There couldnt be a third Sith that will rule altogether, since at the time you already have Darth Tyrannus (Count Dooku) and Darth Sidious (Emperor Palpatine). That’s why to take him out of the equation, Skywalker (later to become Darth Vader) had to destroy him.
hey, just asking can he accualy use the fore is he a sith or what or is he just some kind of jedi assasin?
i think he is the coolest bad guy in staw wars, and he will be one of the most remebered. i like how his main objective is to hunt down and destroy the jedi and he will one of the high lights of the movie next to hole Darth vader thing and yoda.
After seeing him in Clone Wars I have to say wow. Grevious is awsome. Poor Sha Gi didn’t stand a chance. Who else fights five Jedi at once. If he can be pulled off that well on the big screen he could be a true marvel of cinema.
“I will grant you a warriors death prepare”
I wasn’t killed by a lucky shot, it was just a flesh wound….come back here, I’ll bite your legs off.
WHEN is this micro-series on? All I see on CN are ads for this series but never a listing.
Oh and Darth Maul was an awesome villain who got killed by a lucky shot from a snot-nosed little padawhan; he wasn’t badly conceived just badly implemented (except when he OWNED Qui-Gon Jinn— I got up out of my seat and cheered when he skewered Liam Neeson). All of this is of course IMHO.
There is incredible potential with thhis character. I agree that his background could be explained further in the expanded universe and who cares if is isn’t. A majority of people agree that Darth Maul was a fantastic villian and he was barely in Episode I. We didn’t know anything about him before the movie, yet he worked just fine.
If you are curious to know more about Grevious, then check out the Clone Wars micro-series on Cartoon Network. From what I have seen there, he could well turn out to be a very memorable part of the Star Wars saga.
And yes, I think the last 2 films were well off-target but I am looking forward to this one more than anything. I keep telling myself that Lucas can’t mess up again…can he???
Great character but it won’t matter if he only gets 2 minutes of screen time. Darth Maul kicked ass too but was hardly around long enough to become a real villain.
I don’t see a need for all the capes but only for the cool factor.
Not bad but Darth Maul rules.
If this guy’s so bad, how come I’ve never heard of him?
What bugs me is that in every new movie 1 new bad guy appears. Vader lasted three. And there has been no hinting in the previous movies that these guys are standing around the corner. They should have mentioned Grievous in the last film, to make you wonder who he is. Like the Clone Wars mentioned in ep4 made everyone think “Wow! that must’ve been cool to see!”.
BTW: The prequels should have been called Clone Wars instead of Star Wars. Just my two cents.
If there’s one thing we learned from The Incredibles, it’s that capes can be very bad things :)
I hope that Lucas keeps throwing us tidbits about ROTS every month or so, without revealing too much. It will tide me over until May.
What happens with old comments? lol… They are sorted or else :S
Awesome pic!!! Grievous, as Maul, as Fett, doesn´t need too much screen time or dialogue to be cool. Lucas is wise enough to introduce these characters and then let´em grow in the Expanded Universe.
Anyway, a good fight talks much more than a thousand words.
I wonder how will Lucas be able to comprise all the known facts in two hours. Believe me, it´s very difficult!
Why didn’t they have a ‘through’ villain this time around? They managed it with Vader for the original trilogy.
This guy is gonna become just like Boba Fett or Darth Maul – no character, minimal screen time, cool action figure…..
