@@bprosperous445I don't think is lore what you win looking at this (mostly because of the Leyends idea), is more like appreciate the work from the writers to use and rescue rejected characters and locations from the movies
I love Grevious’s bizarre sense of honor. He’ll play dirty and steal weapons from the dead but he’s willing to fight to the death to save Dooku out of pure respect for him.
@@jeffumbach I don't think he has any enforcing cybernetics, he's literally hanged up on dooku multiple times mid sentence, so it's more of following orders than respect or enslaving cybernetics
@@jeffumbach it’s more so Grievous’ obsession with killing the Jedi. Yes, he’s not killing Jedi in this instance, but if he follows through with a task he’s ordered to complete, his chances of killing Jedi are raised under the assumption he’s assigned to larger scale battles which are likely to involve Jedi, if he succeeds.
My favourite part of this is when Dooku called Grievous, the way that every few seconds Grievous will look down to see Dooku like "yeah don't worry, I'm still listening" because he's fighting at the same time but doesn't want to seem rude 😂
There’s multiple times throughout SW (especially thanks to the animated series) that the holo discs, or whatever they’re called, are used in the way you mentioned. I LOVE when they do that, it’s not like mf wouldn’t be using those all the time just as how we use ft in the modern day
I would have lovee to be in the writers room when they came up with this "Hey, Greivous lost to Gungans, what can we do to make him badass again?" "Oh, I know, let's have him commit genocide" "Brilliant!"
There's a comic book story from back then where Dooku has both Ventress and Durge fight Grievous together to test him, and he utterly defeats them both. Those were the days!
@@colingreen5553 The story is called "Rogue's Gallery" and was released in "Star Wars - Clone Wars Adventures vol. 3". :) They're done in the style of the old Clone Wars show, but the stories are pretty neat small glimpses of the war.
@America Chavez Well, I get what you're saying, but it's not really this one instance alone, but the whole of TCW. The show ignored a lot of previously established lore (that is now "Legends"), including backstories, personalities and power levels of characters. Grievous from the former Clone Wars Multimedia Project and Grievous from TCW are basically two different characters. The former Grievous was someone who only the very best of Jedi had a chance against, he defeated multiple Jedi council members and even fought Mace freakin' Windu to a stalemate - Ventress probably couldn't defeat someone like that, Dathomir and her observations or not. See, I don't mind Grievous (or, the CIS in general) loosing sometimes, but in the show it's plain silly. They always loose, they always flee, they're always incompetent. With the way Grievous is portrayed, it doesn't even make sense why Dooku would make him the supreme leader of the CIS armies. Formerly, the fight Grievous had against Durge and Ventress that I mentioned was meant to be a test by Dooku to see who should lead.
@America Chavez Grievous fights Mace to a stalemate in the Labyrinth of Evil novel. ;) About TCW, you seem to interpret these events in ways they're not really depicted in the show itself. All the Jedi characters, and even a Padawan like Ahsoka, throw jokes at Grievous and don't really seem to be afraid of him at all, or even take him seriously. Yeah, Ahsoka runs from him, but not after holding her own against him, and then even physically overpowering his grasp, cutting his hand off - this is 14 year old season one Ahsoka, mind you. The few victories he gets are by "cheating", he defeats Eeth Koth only with his Magna Guards, Ventress almost defeats him on Dathomir before he lets his droids shoot. He kills minor nobody Jedi Knight Nadhar Vebb, to then get his ass handed to him by Kit Fisto. Someone with the speed and reflexes to fight on par with Jedi Masters wouldn't even let himself get hit by the Gungan EMPs, let alone be humiliated to badly. No, sorry, it's just vastly different, you can't deny that. They even talk about that in the commentaries of both shows. As I've said, I don't need him to be OP or always winning, but to be honest, I found little to be exciting in the TCW show when the villains are usually incompetent and always fall for the Jedi's tricks, and the Republic ends up winning in 95% of the stories anyways.
Before he got hugely debuffed for the "kids show", General Grievous would've wiped the floor with the entire Night Sisters' cult single-handedly if Dooku told him to.
"I was only a child when they attacked. An armored warrior brandishing this descended upon us and cut down my people. My sisters. Until I was left alone with the dead." -Nightsister Merrin
Nobody ever talks about the fact that Grievous is the most loaly boy of all of the show? He never questions an order or planing to betray dooku in his weakend state.
Well, kinda ruins the fact he's the ultimate bro but, when he became a cyborg Dooku made sure he would be an obedient ally. So he implanted a device in his brain in order to make him an obedient killing machine. Before, he was more of a selfish and arrogant warlord who would only care for his people
cazza710 How so? She had no exposure to the universe outside her own planet and bias... all she knew was a warrior with green and blue lightsabers and an army wiped her people off the face of existence
Dooku: "Grievous, hurry up and kill that witch!" Grievous: "Sure sure, but let me just take a little stroll and enjoy the scenery of this planet just a little longer."
Count Dooku: “Hurry it up Grievous before that witch - Grievous: … Count Dooku: “WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE YOU ARE TAKING A LIESURELY STROLL. Do you not see that the witch is killing me?!” Grievous: “you killed Gorr.” Dooku: … Grievous: *laugh cough cough laugh*
"truly one of the most fearsome lightsaber duelists" >literally loses nearly every lightsaber duel in the clone wars, including here. there's one point in this show where he loses to ahsoka and some younglings after boldly claiming "no one can defeat grievous" at least the movie grievous, for his faults, was intimidating. 2008 grievous is just a joke
I personally would have liked it if the duel between Ventress and Grievous was on even footing, but then Grievous receives Dooku’s new orders mid fight. That way, when he uses the droid army, it’s not a bail out due to him losing, but due to him suddenly having a time constraint.
I mean the night sisters were literally sith witches so of the Droid army didn't get to them the Republic would have sent a kill team against them sooner or later
I imagine he had the worst case of Stomach Flu symptoms with that magic on top of a raging headache with that needle thing going through his head. I kinda know how he feels.
Axton Dragunov nah, the republic most likely knows better than to start a fight against the Nightsisters, their magic is mysterious and basically the only people capable of using it, not to mention they’re very powerful with it too.
Separatists against the Republic: Dumb as hell and constantly lose Separatists against literally anyone else: Mega Chads that demolish and desecrate entire armies without breaking a sweat (edit) can you guys stop arguing over the same argument from like 15 years ago I'm trying to goon over nerfed Grievous.
Doku: grievous, hurry, im liteally dying right now Grievous: yeah, about that, remember how you made some jedi get into my house and kill my pet Doku: are you really bringing this up now? Grievous: yes *slows down even more*
Doku: cough fine cough I will buy you a new pet Gork. Grievous:Mhm that's still not enough. Doku: Alright cough I will upgrade your ship and give you better battle droids. Grievous: With the hyperdrive I wanted too? Doku: YES cough anything just hurry up cough. Grievous:Laughs excellent hangs up. Grievous jumps on the hull of the tank and screams:Alright hustle up and shoot faster at anything that is not a droid
@@dr.boring7022 Grievous: Not me you tin cans Im talking about the witches Droids:Roger Roger Grivous:cough no wonder I can bearly win a battle with those
The CIS and Grevious were the perfect counter to the nightsisters. What use is your dark magic and fear againest a cold unfeeling and ruthless machine?
I think they made the droids a little bullshit in this show, like grievous. I mean, they outnumbered the clones, and I get they were cheap, but come on.
@@kristiwilbanks794 true, sure they weren’t the greatest, cheap, easy to kill, and had bad blasters, but they outnumbered them, were usually easy to make, and again, cheap to produce. Yet in the show they rarely win. But this and that moment they killed a Jedi was their time
@@yapyapthedestroyer2562 yeah, I believe in the separatist cause, but the clones are so much better. I found myself rooting for the droids in some battles.
One of the Clone Wars' best episodes! Grevious went in hard to the paint in that episode, he literally ran through them hoes. I wish the tone of the show were geared more toward the adults 25+ with a more serious tone to graphic warfare and its outcomes from both factions' choices but at least LucasFilm's pushed as far they were willing to go for younger viewers with its depictions of violence, plots, and great storytelling before Disney acquired the rights. (We all know it has been a letdown ever since, other than the Mandalorian & Rouge One)
I think the 4:14 part is the most horrifying part as it portrays how cruel grievous truly was, as when he stepped into the room,the witch on the ground was trembling as she was begging for mercy but grievous almost looked delighted to see her in such condition, he didn't even stop to gloat about his victory, he just mercilessly stabbed everyone. Gotta admit grievous commitment.
Makes sense why he didn’t gloat, he was overconfident with the fight against ventures, which cost him the fight, dooku was dying and grievous needed to hurry up. And he was likely fed up with the whole mess.
Personally, I feel that this episode showed how powerful the droid army was, as well as how powerful Grievous really was. Even though he had to pull a cheap trick, I do believe that he would have won without the trick since he is able to learn someone's fighting style while in combat very quickly
Only injustice here was that he lost to Ventress. He should have won that fight, no questions asked, especially with how Ventress was just recklessly swinging, and Grievous is an offencive juggernaut.
@@jeffumbach Grievous be like: "Yo, sup? Am about to massacre the friends of your old girl and finishing the job, lost an arm and some forces, but it's good, I'm having the fun of my *life!* Need something?“
you know OG clone wars Grevious was actually pretty honorable. he didn't really resort to cheap tactics other than what was built into him, didn't duel any Jedi while his army was attacking them (at least not on screen) and only used all of his arms one time. REAL FREAKING ACCURATE CN!!!
@@liamdalemon1525 not entirely true. The first time we saw him he used "cheap tactics" by having his army wear the jedi down to the point they were exhausted and afraid of dying. Thats how he was able to fight them so effortlessly. They were already worn out. Thats not "honorable."
@@liamdalemon1525 LOL Piss off with that nonsense. The "og clone wars grevious"" was NOT at all "acTUaLLY prETtY hOnoRaBlE" at all, you're a fool for deluding yourself into saying that because he was restoring to "Cheap tactics" in the "og clone wars" you fool. Stop with your whining as if grievous was EVER honorable. And this WAS "REAL FREAKING ACCURATE" to how grevious was rewritten to be AFTER lucas changed in Episode 3 and Grevious was NEVER "honorable" as you've deluded yourself into thinking that he was. Stop whining over nothing you fool, you're not making any sense with your bad complaints. Don't know what this "CN" nonsense you're going on about but if you mean cartoon network than you're out of your mind because this IS "ACCURATE" to new canon material of grievous' character that he made.
After all the injustices Grievous went through in the whole show (even in this very episode with Ventress) I’m glad I got to see my favorite character charging into battle leading his troops from the vanguard like the champion he truly is.
Ventress: So I returned to you, seeking vengeance against my master who betrayed me Talzin: Yes Ventress: And we made multiple attempts on his life, and it wasn’t until our most dire moment, that you reveal that you could make a voodoo doll that could kill him from billions of miles away? Talzin:
@@goldenstatewarriors9418 Ventress: Who’s Darth Maul? Talzin: The former apprentice to Darth Sideous. The one your master replaced. Ventress: Does he hate my master too? Talzin: Yes Ventress: would he be willing to help? Talzin: No he’s off working with Death Watch Ventress: Don’t they also hate Dooku? Could they help? Talzin: Well, no, they’re trying to take over Mandalorian with help from the Hutts Ventress: Like Jabba? Dooku kidnapped his son. He hates Dooku. Can we ask him for help? Talzin: I mean, I don’t know him… Ventress: Can any of these powerful people who hate my former master serve as allies? Talzin: …Idk, just go be a bounty hunter or something
@@aidankeohane3370 This was 2 episodes before Darth Maul was found alive. This episode was season 4 episode 19. The story where Savage finds him is Season 4 Episode 21 and 22. The Mandalore arc is season 5 episode 14-16. So when the massacre happened, Darth maul was an insane shriveled creature living in the junk fields.
@@aidankeohane3370 LOL You're not making any sense. Mother Talzin doesn't know everything and no duh nobody is gonna help ventress kill dooku because NONE of those guys like each other at all. They're all trying to secure power for themselves. NONE of those guys were going to assist Ventress and all Ventress could have DONE is bounty hunting.
LOL what? That doesn't make any sense. The voodoo doll could NOT have killed him "billions of miles away", The Voodoo could only kill with a set distance and needed required elements from dooku to be sick as Dooku WAS captured, stop making up horrible complaints that aren't vaild at all. You're literally whining and complaining over nothing, you fool! Piss off this complaint you're nonsense because you're not making any sense.
Grievous should’ve kicked Ventress’s ass without the use of a cheap move like that. According to lore, he could learn and pick up almost any light saber form of combat with ease in a matter of minutes of dueling the force wielder. This is what helped him become such an effective Jedi killer.
There is a scene where Grievous defeats Kenobi's fleet, marches over some troops and gets the upperhand on Kenobi in a brief exchange forcing Kenobi to give up the ship after taking over Florrum Was a good scene but yh he only gets one in a blue moon
@@codafett Yes true, lol are you for real? Even the staff of the 2003 series said that Lucas didn’t want grevious as competent and cool at all and preferred him as a run away villain, as seen as in Revenge of the Sith. You make absolutely NO sense here at all denying that. Get with the picture and realize that it IS true entirely and completely!
@@codafett lol that’s not true at all. It’s NOT “fiLoNi’s fAult aNd aLwAYs hAs beEN” lol not even close and that’s a FANTASTIC way to disregard the truth here as not a SINGLE episode of star wars the clone wars has been passed through without Lucas giving the greenlit as he literally watches all the episodes. I CAN pin it all on Lucas as he’s literally the ONLY one on staff that wanted grevious to be that way and as the creator of the franchise, nothing gets passed without him giving the approval. Even the staff calls out how grevious continually keeps losing. Stop acting like no one other than Lucas wanted grevious to be a joke because they didn’t. Lucas NEVER “stepped away” after Star Wars the clone wars before he sold it to Disney, and when that happened Clone Wars was cancelled and when it came back, grevious wasn’t in season 7 except for a single image of him.
@@TheSCPStudio Nope. He the bigger picture, Grevious eliminated the night sister clan as a side effect of his actions not the original intent but Grevious met the sister clan full force to protect Mother Tolzin including raising their dead(sh*t just got real), but he eliminated their clan's identity and safe haven for any survivors, plus Grievous killed the ones who held their secrets so they cannot pass down to any new successors and reduced Mother Tolzin to a vengeful spirit so yeah, he eliminated a major threat to Sidious as a side effect when he rescued Dooku. Read Sons of Dathimer comic with Palpatine comments about Mother Tolzin.
@@Pyrodorah No, they only screwed the ninth film, because fans were sooo angry after Episode 8. They nailed TCW season 7, they nailed The Mandalorian, and without them, I don’t think that people would still be talking about Star Wars these days...
Grievous is truly a terrifying character, even with the injustice served to him in this show - This still shows his ability to methodically kill his enemies, and lead troops into combat - he'll always be my favorite 🖤
Honestly I think Maul was supposed to be the most capable as a hunter, sent to faraway lands to eliminate important targets, dooku was supposed to be the duelist who could outfinesse the jedi and general grievous was neither, he was the one who is the most tactically sound and was a priority target on-field because he could out-strategise wars more than dooku or Maul. They all had their strengths
My guess on why Grevious lost so easily to Ventress is due to them being on Dathomir, which is a dark side nexus, making Ventress more powerful there. That and Ventress didnt feel any fear, intimidation, or surprise towards grevious, all things Dooku said that Grevious needs in a fight
@@pilkers2 The point is that he didn't, Ventress already pulled her lightsabers back for a swing, and since Grevious isnt a force user, he wouldn't have the agility to grab his lightsabers, ignite them, and block. And if he tried to kick her, Ventress could just cut his foot off with ease.
In Jedi fallen order the tactical bio guide for the undead nightsister says “few have seen an Undead nightsister and survived” yet grievous casually slices around 20-30 of them in seconds proves how strong he is even in canon
3:30 This scene is so badass. It looks like the imperial march during the raid of the Jedi Temple, but instead of Skywalker and the Republic, its Grievous with the Separatists. Also in 4:33 the commando droids in this scene are so damn chilling to see as they side by side hit crouch to shoot one handedly at the remaining night sisters.
I like to think that Grievous purposely made himself lose to lure Ventress right into the middle of his droids, to separate her from her clan and eliminate her early in the battle. Once that was done, they proceeded to sweep the nightsisters.
Dooku’s desperation in his voice when he’s giving Grievous the order to kill Mother Talson disturbed me as a kid. You could tell he was genuinely terrified.
I always loved the kind of bitter sibling relationship these two had. Like Grievous is Asajj’s brother with that line “I’ve always been greater than you!” And Daddy Dooku is like “KIDS STOP FIGHTING I NEED MY MEDICINE!!!!”
When you realize that Palpatine's greatest threat during the Clone Wars was actually Mother Talzin. If she had decided to not mess around by torturing Dooku, and simply killed him, Palpatine's entire plan could have been ruined. Grevious wouldn't have known how to find Old Daka, thus the nightsister zombies wouldn't have ever stopped coming, and Grevious would have likely been overrun and killed. And even if he escaped, he doesn't have the connections or charisma to hold together the Separatists which would have inevitably led to infighting and soon enough the destruction of the Separatists from the inside out. Regardless, with Dooku and Grevious out of the picture, the Clone Wars would have pretty much come to a close, and Palpatine would not only lose his place as Chancellor, but he also wouldn't have the right leverage to corrupt Anakin.
@@pilkers2 Ventress was nowhere near Dooku's level of power here. Like, literally not too long ago she, along with two other nightsisters, attempted to assassinate Dooku, even putting him in a severely impaired state yet they all got thrown out a window in the end. Dooku never let Ventress become powerful enough to rival him on any level.
@@pilkers2 Really? I don't mean to invalidate your view, but I can't really see where it's coming from. Dooku was a former Jedi master, literally the one that trained Qui-gon Jinn, and when Ventress went to assassinate him, she poisoned him to blind his senses. Yet he overpowered and nearly killed her. Lastly, Ventress wasn't trained to be sith, she was trained to be an assassin. Dooku would've never allowed her to grow strong enough to rival him, and she really never did. I'd like to know what you mean by "She was near Dooku's power level just not as strong." What's the difference between power and strength in the context that you phrased it in?
@@DeathIsLethal ventress almost killed dooku in the assassination dooku only survived because of his force lightning and darth sidious himself said ventress was becoming to powerful
i like how he puts loyalty before his unsettled scores, yeah he came to kill a traitor, but when someone tries to kill duku, you better bring more then voodoo and witchcraft
@@apomtaylor8054 lol? he literally threatens that he may "kill dooku himself one day" and later when dooku manages to open his cell door he insults him, saying " so you were useful FOR ONCE, count"
That's because when he became the cyborg he is now dooku made sure that he was programmed to always follow dookus command, he literally cannot do anything but follow orders
Honestly the horror factor and speed of those zombies would have been super effective against nearly any army. A shame that the one they were up against was made of unthinking, unfeeling droids
The Nightsisters went up against a platoon of B1’s, several squads of commando droids, B2 super battle droids, and AAT tanks. They had no chance of winning.
I have to wonder how an equivalent Republic force would have stood up against them. Would the living Clone troops have been heavily weakened by the fear factor of how unknown the Nightsisters were and the scariness of the zombies?
I like how the droids don't even hesitate to start shooting like they do with the protagonists. The show would've been way more interesting if they did that all the time. I figure this is how most battles for the CIS go.
I miss the old Grievous. The one that could kill an entire room full of jedi, including a master in just a few seconds. _That_ Grievous was a legitimate threat. All this one can do is order the death of some blaster fodder.
They did Grievous dirty in the clone wars. Went from a truly terrifying, smart and formidable opponent in 2003 to an arrogant buffoon in TCW. A hint of that 2003 energy is seen only here, with him saving his master's life and tearing down a powerful organisation with brute force. I wish he had more scenes like this, as he's one of my favourite Star Wars characters.
My favorite part is how un-halted grevious' march is. Man literally is just laughing and giving orders, ripping their arms off, throwing them down, stomping and walking over them. Man, when grevious is doin something good he is fucking badass. Ending was good too, those chuckles before he just grabbed the helpless fucks and stabbed em was great.
So, Count Dooku's body at 80-something could endure all of the voodoo torture that Mother Talzin did to him, but Luke Skywalker at 53 couldn't endure projecting himself to another planet for less than 20 minutes without dying?
@@misterlist3140 Yeah, Dooku and Palpatine were both going full-throttle in their force lightning thing, even Mother Talzin couldn't keep up, so Grievous could just step right in and impale her with the saber.
People all saying in the comments how this is one of the only good Grievous scenes. But you know what, I think they’re all good. Canon Grievous is a whole different thing than legends Grievous; he’s a pragmatic killer, because when all your enemies can use basically magic which you don’t have, you SHOULD fight dirty to even the field. And he does, all the time. And it works for him. He’s literally just a dude with a metal body and four arms, and that’s basically all he has over Jedi, witches, Sith, whatever; they can match his enhanced reflexes with the force or witch magic, and can fuck him over with it too in its offensive uses. Honor isn’t something that he cares about, glory isn’t something he cares about, calling him a coward or a pansy for forsaking that in favor of ‘dirty tricks’ is just incorrect. This isn’t an art he practices, it’s his job.
He's just taking advantage of the disadvantage others have. In the case of a Force User, an army of thousands of Battle Droids who wipe out everyone standing in his way. You can have the Force and a Light Sabre but as shown with Ima-Gun-Di, you can't stop a neverending train of clankers.
'Literally just a dude with a metal body and four arms' just goes to show how little of a shit you actually give about the character. He was supposed to be a warrior, someone who was referred to as a demigod by his people. He's not just some guy with a sword, he was supposed to be the perfect killing machine, and the 2003 actually acts like it. Even in the 2008 show's context, it's made pretty damn clear that it's not just his job. He has a very personal vendetta against the entire Jedi order (although the reasons they give are stupid and petty as fuck). 2003 Grievous didn't fight 'fair' either, his torso could rotate and he could one shot people by crushing their fucking skulls with his talons, not to mention all the fear tactics he used to break their focus, which 2008 doesn't do at all. He's treated like a god damn joke most of the time, except for scenes like these and maybe his first battle against Ahsoka. He's just very poorly portrayed in this show, which is a shame because it's fantastic in almost every other way, but like, even Revenge of the Sith portrays him a lot better. He breaks open the space glass or whatever to get away from Anakin and Obi Wan, then runs away on his escape pod, but at the same time, he later engaged Obi-Wan in single combat when he could have just had him shot to death, something a lot more honorable than the kind of shit he does in this show. Like, Nahdar Vebb was just a cocky Jedi Knight, by all means Grievous should have been able to simply overwhelm him, but instead he resorts to pulling out a blaster and shooting him in the gut? Wtf? He didn't have the dignity to at least ignite a lightsaber through him with his 3rd arm? It's just bad. It's almost as if Dave Filoni had some sort of personal vendetta against the character, which is a shame because 2003 Grievous is one of my most favorite characters in anything ever, and IS my favorite character in all of Star Wars. He just wasn't done justice here.
I never got why someone with multiple lightsabers would use both/all of them to block instead of blocking with one and then just stabbing with the other.
Same with Grievous, for some dumb reason he swings all four at the same spot allowing her to block when he should have held at least one back to strike her with when she was busy blocking.
Grevious and the Droid Army delivering some Confederate Justice to the clan that brainwashed Savage Oppress and made him kill his own brother. I can’t believe I’m rooting for the unsympathetic villain(canon Grevious) over the mildly sympathetic one(Ventress). Eh Nightsisters are an oppressive bunch so it makes sense.
I always love seeing stories like these for the "bad guy" pov. Not that the nightsisters where good, but it's always interesting seeing the workings of the normal enemies.
@The Ravenshe sure was empowered by Dathomir, doesn't matter tho. Never said she was stronger normally, just that she clapped his cheeks here And did he really have the upper hand tho? Just because he kicked her once?
This is the Grievous we needed more of in Clone Wars. Commiting genocide and fighting powerful force wielders, but not being too OP like he is the 2003 Clone Wars since his lungs were crushed. They should've brought him back in season 7 along with Anakin and Obi-Wan instead of the Martez sisters or wtv tf their names were.
The Martez sisters were cool imo, but the point of bringing them in was to change the pace up a bit. Having 12 episodes of intense battles and war wouldn't have been the best idea imo.
@@wonderguardstalker yeah grievous was so damn cool in the 2003 show, tho def a bit too op imo. I do feel like the Jedi should've been able to literally just force crush him this whole time lmao like why do they never use the force on him. It's still fun seeing him as the crippled, slimy bastard of a general he is in the 3D CW show tho, he's enjoyable in a different way, but they really nerfed the fuck outta him lmao.
I think we needed More episode , purely and simply . We needed at least a trilogy for son of dathomir ( grievous freaking killed mother talzin in there ), we needed an arc for Anakin wielding guns ...we needed more .
I don’t think I realized how brutal this scene was as a kid. This shows the droid army and Grievous at their worst (or best) soulless and emotionless monsters that don’t hesitate to kill.
I really wish Grievous won honorably. This dude didn't get an entire lair filled with charms of the Jedi he killed from being a coward. He's a cold blooded warrior, let him have a victory every now and again
He got his victory here, but not honorably, and that's the point; Grievous is not an honorable character, he is a vicious sadist who will use every dirty trick in the book to get the job done.
"Grevious, hurry up and find Mother Talzin before she kills me!" "Ayo Dooku you remember that one time you let Jedi into my house, deactivated my guards, called me a lazy bitch and let them kill my pet?" "...shit."
