It's one of those things that's theoretically defined by half-a-dozen unrelated incidents in prior continuity, but only gets clearly defined when you mention it explicitly?

Thrawn McEwok posted:And... a potentially explosive question: you mention Grievous concieving of battledroid numbers "like a barely fathomable string of trinary code"... does he do his arithmetic in decimal, or not?
Daniel-K posted:Able, I have a question about Grievous and his species. We see in ROTS that Grievous is very capable of wielding 4 arms at once - they all act independently just like our two arms do, meaning that the brain and neural system is wired to accept that. The problem there in lies that the images of the Khalee show them with just two upper limbs. I realize that this is from Visionaries and you kinda got stuck with the look, but is there a rational for this? The sheer difference in tissue and neural wiring that would require is massive, look at the diference between lizards and snakes. One could put it down to SW medical tech being that advanced, but based off what we've prievously seen, its a bit like jumping straight from building the pyramids to building a space elevator. There's nothing that says it isn't the case, its just that the difference is so huge its a bit hard to swallow. So is it just "the doctors are that awesome" or is there another explanation out there, like the Khalee having little vestigal nubs there (akin to the mating spurs some snakes have) and the doctors just amplified the connections? Or something else? Or did a crazy old wizard do it, now get off your lawn, you dern fool kids?

Biddybot posted:My own latest burning query about all things Grievous: So when is the movie poster for 'Sheelal And Kummar Go To White Castle' coming out?
Halagad Ventor posted:It's taken a while, but the Endnotes for the Story of General Grievous continue. Part 3 start in on Lord of War, and last part should be coming soon.
Barriss_Coffee posted:I didn't even know there was going to be a Part 3! Or 4! Or maybe I did... once long ago. Ah, I love it when I forget something and then relearn it completely anew...
Rogue_Follower posted:Ah! So that's the Terminator reference. Subtle indeed.
Biddybot posted:Even though I'll always have my own personal and now entirely non-official background ideas of what made Grievous the character he is, it's interesting how two 'versions' nonetheless wound up having similar personality traits. I early on expected he'd have violent racist tendancies, for example, because of a single line of dialog he had in Warren Fu's story 'The Eyes Of Revolution': his abbreviated statement, "The sooner I return to exterminating Huk colonies, the sooner I can redeem--" Sure, you've since provided some pretty good reasons as to why Grievous would want to 'exterminate' Huk, but still, only someone who was genocidally inclined would even think that way about their enemies, let alone voice it aloud--I thought and still consider it the best snippet of insight into Grievous's temperament. On the other hand, he also says, just before setting out on his ill-fated shuttle ride, "As long as this old thing holds together, we'll be okay.", and no one who's a total ass EVER talks like that--that line I interpreted as the best clue to what Grievous's disposition must've once been like. So that's where my thinking on how the character ticks stemmed from. I'd say everything you've provided since seems to keep reinforcing those early hints quite nicely, really!
Biddybot posted:And you're going to provide still more--yay again! As always, I'm just glad someone 'official' is still keen on working on the Grievous character and look forward to your real-life inspirational notes with interest. I think I already know where Qymaen jai Sheelal the Kaleesh warlord comes from, but, well, we'll see. Still waiting for that Grievous novel too. You KNOW you want to write it...
Biddybot posted:PS: Since your Grievous articles have been so well received and IF you're currently casting around for another like assignment, why not consider doing something about the Jedi character K'kruhk next?
kecen posted:I was thinking this thread would never update again until I found more endnotes. My thoughts? *The parable of Sheelal reminds me of a rather mushy song called "Autumn's Monologue", which I associate with lots of things, especially since it has a reply song called "The Fiction We Live", which is rather fitting of Grievous.
kecen posted:*I'd like to think Qymaen is a name of a tiny pink----I mean desert flower which is the national flower of the region with the Mayan style pyramid.
kecen posted:*Is Kalee truly near Bastion? I mean that's the base of operations for the Imperial Remnant and that means the likelihood of Kaleesh imperial knights (I would suspect the Kaleesh to see the Empire as better than the Republic because the Empire buys Kaleesh chocolate and canned fish).
kecen posted:*Are Mumuus like unicorns?
