This is actually a very important distinction that we forget about. Force sensitives are mortals like any other being, and they are by no means limitless. They are flawed like anyone else and, though challenging, It's what allows non-force-sensitives to compete with them.
This whole scene in the old animated series was absolutely perfect! He took on 7 jedi, killed 3 mortally wouldn't 3 more, and nearly killed the last if not for Captain Fordo and his men coming in to save them. But it didn't stop there, Grievous tore through he Clones, dodged their gunship, and stood victorious as the Jedi and Clones fled. Grievous was his best in the animated series. He only ran when necessary, he could kill every Jedi he engaged in a duel, and he actually was a terrifying Jedi killer. This Grievous was the best Grievous, hands down.
My favorite version of Grevious and his best entrance. The buildup, tension, and execution was perfectly flawless. That, and his speech before confronting the Jedi head on, “Jedi! You are surrounded, your armies desecrated! Make peace with the Force now for this is your final hour! But know that I, General Grevious, am not completely without mercy. I will grant you a warriors death! Prepare!” That is worthy of a chef’s kiss.
I've been waiting SO LONG for this video. The battle that introduced us to the General Grievous as the walking slaughterhouse he was supposed to and deserves to be.
I think I was 9 years old when that episode of Clone Wars premiered on Cartoon Network in April 2004. I think I had nightmares when I went to sleep because of how terrifying General Grievous was. Also the soundtrack for that scene by James L. Venable and Paul Dinletir was (and still is) epic. It may not be canon, but OG Clone Wars made Grievous the villain that Star Wars fans deserve.
It's so cool to see grevious as an unstoppable, inescapable force for once, instead of a bumbling and inept coward (Like he's often portrayed in the Clone Wars). Makes a lot more sense why Dooku and Palpatine put up with him for so long.
You can't deny Mundi was a badass : he was literally the last man standing by the end of the battle of Hypori, and gave Grievous maybe his first proper fight
He was always my favorite growing up, I definitely feel there was a reason he was station with the galactic marines, he was basically just obi wan with a statistically bigger head and thus statistically worse defense lol the closer his head was to obi wans the more likely I find his survival. For real though he actually is the opposite he charges in almost every fight he’s in so I could see how he’d catch him off guard!
@@ic4192 nah, he's being shat on by everyone for no reason, his bad rep isn't deserved, it's wild exagerations/misinterpretations of the stories he's in
And to think Hypori would be so notable that Empire at War: Forces of Corruption makes it the location of the Droideka Mk. II factory and Jabba's failed trap against Tyber Zann, all while in the Alt-universe, it was notable for being a reason why Galen Erso and Orson Krennic wanted to make the first Death Star, as mentioned in the Catalyst tie-in novel for Rogue One.
James Luceno really sold himself short on that novel, he originally wanted to make complete history of the Death Star in his usual style tying a lot of lore together, but he had to cut down the novel to just a brief period of time.
korok is the ultimat surviver. he survied Hypori, later on he saved a group of younglings during order 66 and later on joined lukes jedi order. he later on survived the rule of one sith with darth kraith and his followers and the destruction of the jedi order at the time (not sure to what extenct the destruction was) and afther kraith was dead he helped reviewing the jedi order once more and i think he was the grandmaster. that is the last we hear about him because of disney bought the rights to star wars not long afther this event
Well Grievous said K'Kruhk was interminable. And suddenly I imagine this Ki-Adi: "Brave K'kruhk, you shall not have died in vain!" K'kruhk: "Actually, I'm not quite dead, Master Mundi." Ki-Adi: "...well, you shall not have been mortally wounded in vain." K'kruhk: "I think I can pull through." Ki-Adi: "Oh I see."
After all maybe he lost his memories and eventually left Hypori eventually coming to earth and changing his name to shaggy, secret origin of the Scooby Doo character
Lol for those who don’t actually know, his name wasn’t really ‘Sha’a Gi’. That was just an older joke made out his coincidental similarity to Shaggy from Scooby-Doo in appearance
This this is the real grievous not the clone wars grievous who always loses and runs away in defeat, so glad to see he's finally getting his flowers. Prayers with the jedi willing to f around and find out!
Ya know for how important he’s made to be and with how big a threat the cis were said to be this is a much more consistent version of grievous and the cis we are told about when compared to the joke that they were in the canonical show.
This is what Grievous should’ve been, rather than the coughing parody we got later. These original Clone Wars animated media and Matthew Stover’s Revenge of the Sith novel are the only media that actually show how terrifying and competent Grievous was. He’s been portrayed as an incompetent, emotional fool in everything since he was portrayed that way in Episode III.
Grevious made a very horrific first appearance to the Republic considering at the Republic was winning the war at the time, and without Grevious the Confederacy would have fallen in the first year of the war.
And this is why Sha'a Gi should be working at Space Waffle House. Despite that these restaurants can rivaled the battlefields in the Clones Wars on so many occasions, the guards who are powered by waffles like Sha'a Gi can always defeated the troublemakers.
Disney only made season 7... George and filoni where in charge of seasons 1-6. You can blame them all you want for nerfing grievous and i wouldn't blame you but they were trying to make the clone wars a children's show so some sacrifices needed to be made. What really pisses me off is that George and filoni got rid of independent mandalorians and are now trying to make deathwatch "normal mandalorians"
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly cartoon grievous is defeneitly far more scary than animated grievous thats for sure. you realy see him bringing real terror on the battle field. you can defenitly see the two shows beeing aimed at different age groupes :) both shows are good but you cant beat the grievous from the early show thats for sure.
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly wasn't the microseries for kids too though? If they just had the patience to not habe grievous go against plot armored characters all the time there was a great deal more they could do with him instead of straying so far from what was established. I understand filoni's choices, even George's on his character, but i'll never agree with them
Seriously??? His red shirt spacey Padawan's name is Sha Ghi otherwise known as Shaggy on a certain Saturday morning cartoon when I was a kid. What is the name of this aspiring Jedi & stoner's home planet Skubi?
This wasn't a battle. This was a massacre. And because no clone troopers survived, this has to be the most disastrous and bloodiest battle. Battles like Umbara, Jabiim, or other costly battles could barely compare to the meat grinder that was the battle of Hypori.
Ah, yes the terrifying introduction of the confederacy most fearsome and ruthless military mind whom terrorised and devastated the planets of the republic and its military forces alike in equal measure
Captain Fordo is my favorite, as I'm sure he is with many. Sees that jedi with lightsabers can't kill him? Don't bother getting close. He's dodging blasterfire? Time to call in a gunship rocket strike INSIDE A BUILDING.
Old School Chad Grievous > New Loser Grievous. Still remember when in a star wars rpg during the clone wars, we the players ran into Grievous... there was only one thing to do... charge him! and almost have a full party wipe.
Grievous was once my favourite character until the clone wars series made him a moustache twirling villain who always flees and gets defeated by freaking gungans. Clone wars is a good series, but really can't stand how they massacred characters like grievous and count Dooku.
Don't think backtoid was a genosion company. But a subsidiary company. Backtiod armour workshop. ( a genosion) company. But it was techo union. Or Republic. .
I truly hate I would have viewed Grievous as the lesser of two evils and would lose everything because of this lose, lose option. Kind of sad since I often support third parties but when reduced to two options I like to try and minimize damage
His human Shag-gy and it even looked like him!? Why is Shaggy from Scooby Doo in a Star Wars comic!? Also I don't know who drew that animated series you show but it looks like dog crap
The only thing I’m surprised about this video is that you didn’t put something mentioning Plo Koon’s moniker “The Butcher Of Hypori” in the description.
