*OFFICIAL THREAD* General Grievous in Ep3

In addition to the opening space battle and the Obi-Wan encounter, I do hope we see Grievous killing Ki-Adi Mundi and Plo koon. Those two apparently have some adventure on Utapau, where they presumably die. It could be simply clones turning or it could be Grievous. It would be good if Grievous was established to be a serious Jedi threat in the movie itself, which is not the case if all he does is beheads a captured Shaak-Ti in the opening sequence.

Didn't Carl Cunninghman, who was on set sometime during filming, say that Grievous was partly some Force-adept alien? Or has that been debunked already?

 

dehrian made a good point in the Clone Wars thread. I haven't really considered this until now, but shouldn't General Grievous have a weakness or flaw that must be exploited to defeat him? He's incredibly cool and is going to have some awesome fight scenes, but he needs a weakness to be really interesting. It would really add to his character.

So I ask you, should he have a weakness, and if so what should it be?


His original post:

Still not a Grievous fan. He needs a weakness. Even Superman had kryptonite. He needs a weakness to be interesting to me. Right now, he's boring.

 

Laser blasts to the stomach give him indigestion.

 

Achilles had his heel, Grievous his organic gut, Vader his son, Palpatine his arrogance!

This has not been debunked yet. The databank doesn't debunk because it's obviously missing info on Grievous that they don't want to reveal yet. (his connection to Sidious for example).

 

I do hope we see Grievous killing Ki-Adi Mundi and Plo koon

NEVER! I don't wanna see Plo Koon die to a friggin' android! I wanna see him go down fighting tons of clones or battle droids.
I just hate it how the cool back round characters go down like wimps.

Ok - so I picked up the newest Insider at the book store. After looking over what was in there about GG AND thinking about what I saw on Chaper 20 last night I will give him a second chance. Two things that still bother me though:

1. GG's whole mechanical look just looks more sophistcated than Vader - that's a no-no. If Vader is supposed to be an evolution: Then GG should look less sleek and sharp and dangerous.

2. I really hope GG doesn't use his talon/paw to wield a lightsaber in the movie like he did in the cartoon. That would be bad. If his arms split - fine so be it. That will visually look cooler than him juggling 4 sabers between his hands and "feet".

 

General Grevious, whatever he is, he's silly. And only silly people use lightsabers with their feet

 

I wanna see some confrontation between Mundi and GG. I mean what happened? I would of thought GG killed him but Ki is in Episode 3...1 More Q how did Mundi stay Alive?

 

It appears what Carl said has been debunked FOREVER JEDI. The Official site states that GG is part nonhumaniod alien which means hes not Force Adept as only humaniod or partly humanoid aliens (like Hutts) and humans are high enough life forms to have The Force.

 

Midichlorians exist in all lifeforms. Doesn't matter what race you are, they exist. Since Grievous has organic parts, they contain the Midichlroians as life cannot exist without them.

 

While I do acknowledge Grevous to be a lazy way out and rip-off to Lucas showing what he said to be VADER's execution of the Jedi, I will say this. If he is ANYTHING like he is in the cartoon, Lucas will once again, be MY Father. Grevous be hand'n Jedi they a$$es on platinum platters. For real!

 

Screw Mace's fighting ability, I want to know how Grievous' fighting will fit in with continuity. If Genndy was really given almost zero info on how GG fights, how do we have any idea he'll act anything like the cartoon? If GG in E3 turns out to be not as cool as GG in chapter 20, I'm really going to be disapointed, and no, the simple transition from cartoon to the big screen isn't enough to do it, he needs to be as good or better.

!snap

 

That's an unrealistic expectation. The cartoon is totally over the top and meant to be so. To have him be that incredible or better would make everybody else look lame and devalue everything we know and love in the films.

I agree he should be a bad-ass, but not THAT bad ass. He also can't overshadow Anakin and Obi's duel or the whole Prequels are a bust, since they've all led up to this moment.

 

as only humaniod or partly humanoid aliens (like Hutts) and humans are high enough life forms to have The Force.

Um... really? Hutts?

Watto was rather non-humanoid and he couldn't be mind-tricked. Interesting, eh? And no mention anywhere of what the midichlorian levels of Sebulba, Poggle, Gunray and others are!

I really don't care whether GG is a Force-adept or not. I just haven't seen or remember anything that has debunked the Cunningham rumor. Yet.

 

I liked the voice and music they chose for the cartoon, so I hope Lucas uses a close variation so there won't be too much debate or complaining for that matter. But after all, this is Star Wars and no matter what, someone will find something to complain about.

 

Actually Watto was a humanoid. He had opposible thumbs and grippable fingers and was bipedal with atleast two humanlike arms and legs. Jabba had humanlike arms with usable fingers. Being a Humanoid is having a human like frame/structure and/or similer qualities and characteristics of a human. The only nonhumanoid aliens in Star Wars are the lesser lifeforms unable to speak like Wampas, Tauntauns, the Rancor and the Ackley. The theories been debunked.

 

I really don't think Jabba qualifies as humanoid. Aposable thumbs or no, he's a slug! Plus, Lucas isn't a scientist, his definition of humanoid (and that of most sci-fi audiences) is probably something that has a clearly human physique.

 

It may have been said, but 60+ pages is WAY too much to read at this point... I think after Grievious is destroyed in Ep3, his remains will be used to construct Vader. At least in the 'toon, he has a similar mouthpiece, and it makes sense to me that for Vader to be even more bad-ass than GG, he will be made from GG's old parts....

 

While I do acknowledge Grevous to be a lazy way out and rip-off to Lucas showing what he said to be VADER's execution of the Jedi,

Really? Cause I could've sworn it was Vader who lead the temple assault and not Grievous, Vader who killed Mace, and Vader who duels with Obi-Wan at the end.

 

To tell the truth, Grievous sounds like he will be all bark and no bite in Episode III. He was powerful in the cartoon, but if one Jedi {Obi-wan} can not only cause him to flee, but also kill him with a primitive blaster, he must not be all that great.
Maul will always be, in my mind, the greatest one episode villain in Star Warsdom.

I'm not worried about him stealing Vaders thunder. Something this laughable and silly could never stela the thunder of the greatest Jesi ass-kicker of all time.

Grievous is simply another Lucas marketing ploy, like it or not. He looks cool; but he won't have the lasting power of Maul, Boba, or Vader. Same way with Dooku, I never really thought he was anything special, and I thought and still think that AOTC would be better with Maul in his place. Same with Grievous; the idea seems a little absurd and over-the-top to me. No worry; Anakin/Vader will dominate this movie, silly cyborg or not.

"Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've contstructed... the ability to wield lightsabers with your feet is insignificant next to the power of the Force!"

 

If he's Force-Adept, he could be Sifo-Dyas, who may have been killed, and part of him combined with robotic parts to make GG. I know it may sound lame, but I still don't know who erased the file on the Kamino system, and they said it took a Jedi to do that. In listening to the commentary on Ep2, it is supposed to be revealed in Ep3, and I think Syfo-Dyas would be a likely candidate, however, it'd be a cop-out to even mention him as a character, much less say he died 10 years ago, unless he was going to have a larger importance, and the only thing I can come up with for him is GG.

 

Grievous is more fun to watch in action than a hot exotic pole dancer.

 

ok im a Half Droid Half Huminoid Alein ( EXANPLE ) like say dooku cuts anikins hands and Feet off his Hands and Feet are going to be Robotic so anis half Human Half Droid GET IT
