General Grievous Has a Force Vision - Age of Republic: General Grievous Review and Analysis

[@PerovNigma]

_"For all your talk of power, you burn just as easily."_ Ironic that Grievous would be the one to say that...

[@thatdude2508]

Your move

[@StuartLugsden]

The part where Grievous stabs the waterfall reminded me of Adam West stabbing the ocean in Family Guy. "You won't be hurting anyone anymore!"

[@kenzschueler]

Hahaha great comparison.

[@StuartLugsden]

Nobody nesses with Adam We!

[@andrewgrievous9733]

Grievous deserves a mini series or even a novel

[@podjazd]

A thousands yes! Preferably written by Luceno or Kemp.

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

He's got at least one origin-story novel, released either around the time of RotS or a little bit afterwards. Not sure if it's one of the good SW novels, though.

[@Dass_Jennir]

Fuzzy Dunlop you mean Labyrinth Of Evil? It’s regarded as one of the best, but is from the EU.

[@sameasiteverwas9742]

Going to Miss the Age of Republic, just nailed basically everything with this series. Well here's to Rebellion and Resistance being just as good, if not better.

[@StuartLugsden]

I hope age of Resistance gives us some much needed backstory.

[@sameasiteverwas9742]

@@StuartLugsden if Age of Republic is any indication backstory is not why you should be reading this arc (which I'm totally fine with by the way).

[@Djimbo]

Stuart Lugsden We know everything that we *need* to know about Rey, Kylo Ren, Finn, Poe, and Rose. We’ve learned about Phasma from her book as well. I personally want to learn more about Hux and Snoke. If we’re going to learn anything about Resistance era characters, I think those are the two that might actually *need* it.

[@StuartLugsden]

I wouldn’t mind if it didn’t. But it would be nice if they could give a little.

[@DrMutran]

I like how Grievous said he earned his statues, because even though being a Jedi isn’t easy they are still born special.

[@mitchellhayward6492]

This comic is awesome, but I have to admit, I wish it was an actual episode. I've always wondered what Grievous' non-cyborg voice sounded like. I'd love to hear him all scared and confused, almost human, while he's tripping out.

[@1065chris]

I imagine his none cyborg voice would be how he sounded in the 2003 cartoon.

[@middleearthriseofmordor7656]

I think he would sound the same, just without the effect.

[@viperson9818]

Reason why I like grevious. In a way the force is some sort of strength/power. The Jedi and sith have more connection so in a sense more power. Grevious wants his own power and not some cosmic power. Reason why he kills Jedi or loves it.

[@elementaljedi9335]

I’ve collected every Age of Republic issue. I feel so accomplished. 🤩

[@voitteq]

You mean "the sense of pride and accomplishment", amirite?

[@carlelmore6767]

I believe everything living thing has midiclorians and can be affected by the force The amount is what can give higher ablities mixed with training on how to control the force

[@Djimbo]

He might have been talking about the Force from the more “mystical” perspective where people choose to ignore the midiclorians concept, but that’s just my guess.

[@chadf6813]

It was interesting to see this character’s thoughts. Loved this series!

[@blackout501st]

My first impression after reading it was it felt a little slow and bare bones, but after watching your video I knew I would feel a lot better about it, you pointed out connections I missed in my first impression and help me appreciate it more than I could on my own!

[@macwade2755]

This is a great issue! I love General Grievous! I hope that one day he gets his own movie!

[@adeadphish7931]

I liked this issue a lot but what really made it work was just the sense of revulsion we see from grievous when he is told he is small. Just seeing that button pushed and how it sets him off was the cherry on top of this book

[@Herba2]

I know some people may be disappointed by not seeing Grivious's origins in the comic But I'm just glad to see some past face reveal of some sort

[@LoboNox]

I heard the statues he destroyed resembles the characters from The Old Republic game

[@zanfear]

The Force flows through each living creature in the Star Wars universe. However, only those with a high enough MIDICHLORIAN count (yes, really) are able to use the Force. And some use the Force in different ways, like the Nightsisters or those Jedi temple monk guards.

[@gamerfanbomb6833]

My favorite Star Wars character back in action once more

[@andrewgrievous9733]

Jodie Houser needs to write more stories about Grievous in the future. She is one the few who really understand the character, way better than Filoni. I like Grievous as a coward and evil old school villain, but it looks like Filoni doesn't want him to be anything else, especially a tragic character. But tragedy is an important part of his story. Gilroy said that isn't the case; that he's just arrogant and merciless, but those aspects are just what Grievous uses to hide and deny the tragic side of his story

[@StuartLugsden]

I wish we saw the 2003 Clone Wars Grievous in the 2008 Clone Wars. That would have been perfect.

[@andrewgrievous9733]

Stuart I'd prefer to see a mix of the versions, like in this comic

[@bouncin2207]

She should write a book for him.

[@Darthpsychonis]

The Grievous thing was more a a Lucas call than Filoni.

[@Robin-lu5xw]

Haha Grievous looks exactly like Obunga.

[@arthurgabriel360]

HOLLY CRAP HAHHAHAHAHA

[@estranoperez2687]

Ha! Now it can’t be unseen!

[@macwade2755]

I like to think that General Grievous visited the World Between Worlds. The creators did say that it would look different for different people.

[@dillonellis4798]

I feel like the Kaleesh have somewhat of a Middle Eastern accent.

[@taetaesblessedhands1635]

Central Asian actually, his dressing style and even the terms borrowed by the Kaleesh in Legends (Khagan, Bataar etc.) are Central Asian.

[@DorsenFilm]

HIS FACE

[@2mig34]

Did you cover the Padme comic?

[@diabologe]

Not yet.

[@kumardias9348]

More of Grievous is always welcome

[@angelobellizzi7918]

Hail grievous

[@MegaMr46]

The part with that waterfall made me want to listen “Waterfalls” by TLC

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

I really liked how unatural grievous movements were in this comic, he seems much more akin to scuttling around or twisting his legs to reach certain things. One of the main differences I’ve noticed between legends and canon grievous is how his arms are treated, where in legends he always keeps his four arms hidden until whipping them out as a trump card, but here he has them out almost constantly just makes him look slightly more monstrous. Second difference is his cape, what do you guys think dies grievous look cooler with a black cape or a white cape?

[@scoutthetrooper]

Black Cape, no question

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

Sachapal no question at all? I mean yeah I guess the black one looks more evil but I think the white one stands out slightly more

[@deaconpoole7577]

So wait, Grievous DOESNT have an actual face now? He’s literally just a brain, a pair of eyes, and some organs? From what we saw in RotS, and then in Lair of Grievous with his multiple faceplates, I always assumed that Grievous had replaced everything but his vital organs, and his head. (But then made modifications to his head like replacing his organic ears with Audio Receptors, or his organic throat with a mechanical one that attached to his organs) Idk something about that imagery is kids creepy in a way... but not out of the realm of believability.

[@bouncin2207]

No he has part of his face under the mask it's not just a brain. We can see that through his skin in battlefront 2.

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

I’m pretty sure there isn’t a face there. I doubt he needs to eat or smell anymore so I don’t know why he would. It be far simpler to have removed it. I mean I’m fairy certain they didn’t keep his skull because that didn’t show up in the vision either so keeping the face that would never really be seen would be redundant.

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

Caleb Bradshaw cross sections?

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

Caleb Bradshaw interesting, hmmm you might have some points there they did seem to make a deal of cutting away from grievous head when his mask was being removed. Though yeah I heard there were a bunch of different versions of grievous in that book including a bug man, a moment with orb droids around her and a kid in a chair so who’s to say that just wasn’t another potential idea? I’m just thinking of why they would keep his face when the rest of his flesh and skeletal structure was removed. It just seems to make more sense to take the vital organs and shove em into the machine, I doubt grievous would even want to keep his face anyway considering how he looks at himself in this vision and how kaleesh constantly wear masks anyway

[@julianneleung3328]

I loved this issue and I felt that it was such a good summary of the character of General Grievous. I thought there were shades of Kylo on Crait at the end of the issue. I have really been enjoying the Age of Republic series and I am looking forward to the other Ages.

[@BasilBonehead]

Note to self: get the full age of republic series when it’s release as a paperback

[@usmanya5110]

I think this is after lair grievous. Because of the design of grievous looks like the one from revenge of the sith.

[@hollowslayer5578]

The best part weak and small am I takes his command ship and destroys the temple watching the temple burn he says all this talk about power you burn just as easily that was ruthless but so badass grievous is evil but awesome way cooler than count dooku

[@goldenmoonvideos9937]

Nice job

[@darthbong800]

What would you think of the Yuuzhan Vong being put into The Old Republic some how. Still loving the show.

[@UraiFen44444444]

Nice Video :)

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

Also, someone should've hooked GG up with Kreia. They'd get on like a house on fire, one resentful of the force and the other outright declaring war on it.

[@cwylfre]

Actually I believe his Canon backstory would be identical to his Legends, Grievous would be a former bodyguard for San Hill, later would be gift with his own castle on the third moon of Vassek, after breaking his contract and learned about Kalee, just as he flew out unbeknownst to him was sabotaged and begin malfunctioning, plunging into the sea below and exploding an impact. Grievous awoken in a bacta tank on Geonosis by San Hill, being told to him that it was a Jedi who had planted a bomb on his ship, Hill offer him revenge against the Republic and the Jedi as well as famine relief for Kalee if he would submit to cybernetic changes to his body and lead the droid army of the Separatists once they declare war. Promise of relief for Kalee and his hatred for the Republic and the Jedi, Grievous accepts the offer. After installing an implant into his brain, Geonosian biotechs and the Separatists cybernetic experts rebuilt Grievous arms and legs with cybernetic replacement leaving his head and torso remain (fully flesh). During the training I can see Dooku teases Grievous about the taste of new strength, leaving him to think about his choices and during the Battle on Geonosis, after Grievous had slaughtered a number of Jedi leaving none of them alive, Grievous would then finally made his choices believing his cybernetic that the IBC gave him wasn't enough to satisfied him then would willingly submitting to improve his cybernetic body himself and goes into a deeper change. These are just my idea, if Canon play it right and choose the right writer, things would play out right for his character.

[@jailbreak-bob1670]

WONDER WHAT MATT WOOD'S VOICE WOULD SOUND LIKE

[@Jesussavedme88]

I just noticed something but is it me or does kylo Ren's mask somewhat favor revans mask not entirely but the faceplate somewhat reminds me of revans mask

[@ColonelCactus89]

wasn’t there an AoR: Padme?

[@Aaron-fb6mb]

Poor Grievous

[@jamiedore679]

The statues of Grievous look more like Naga Sadow to be honest.

[@fadillangston9797]

Well that was f*cking disturbing......

[@ImperialScoundrel]

#100 comment. i have always been interested in grievous's non cyborg version and his past but i can never find anything so thank u for this video. we need to see a comic series about grievous as kaleesh and it would be amazing if he sore a kaleesh warrior in a star wars film.

[@Grant_BW]

No spoilers in titles please.

[@guesswho8556]

His alien design looked way better in the clone wars, here it looked like a cartoon

[@hummel_brummel]

Hello there

[@AdmiralOctopus]

You *are* a bold one!

[@danielkong6767]

why do i get the feeling he will just be portrayed like a mumbling clumsy idiot like in TWC. If you want to find a deeper version of grievous origin, check out the comic "The Eyes of Revolution", clone wars 2003 series and the book "labyrinth of evil"

[@cwylfre]

Actually in Canon, the book *Alien Archive* mention: "An accident left Grievous almost fully cybernetic." and *Star Wars: A Galaxy at War* mention: "At some point in his life, Grievous became a cyborg following a gruesome shuttle crash that almost killed him."

[@SpiderNightcrawler]

I liked the comic, really liked how he could utilize his spidery body the way he did. I do NOT like his face.

[@TheGeneralGrievous19]

His original EU backstory is in my opinion better - more tragic, complex, interesting and compelling. Him replacing his biological body willingly only to 'gain power' is for me kinda flat and pathetic idea. I would, just maybe, change my mind if they will finally give him some deep reasons and backstory to want that 'power' and hate Jedi in New Canon. #Grievous

[@Dass_Jennir]

TheGeneralGrievous19 apparently, his EU backstory has fortunately been recently re-canonized in the Rise of the Separatists sourcebook. His stubbornness to call his implants “improvements” can be interpreted as a way for him to deny his dependence on them after the accident, or maybe they actually grew on them like it did with the EU’s Grievous after he saw how effective they were in helping him accomplish his revenge. Or his brain was altered in the surgery to make him believe so. There are definitely a lot of pieces here and there for the right author to make one hell of an origin story through a game, book or movie.

[@cwylfre]

Actually in Canon, the book *Alien Archive* mention: "An accident left Grievous almost fully cybernetic." and *Star Wars: A Galaxy at War* mention: "At some point in his life, Grievous became a cyborg following a gruesome shuttle crash that almost killed him." Plus blame Filoni for decanonized his backstory just because he doesn't see it being true to his story.

[@Jacob-vy6ej]

Does this mean we won't see a force sensitive Droid in canon? It only responds to the organic material

[@nokopanda4642]

Jacob Hanson the concept of force sensitive droids is just stupid.

[@bouncin2207]

Grievous is still organic though.

[@Darthpsychonis]

The Force has always been described as a energy field created by all living things, so it would not make sense for a Droid to use it since they are not alive physically or spiritually.

[@Tutorial7a]

I have problems with certain Last Jedi things put out lately. But comics like this give me hope for the future. #bringbacktheclonewarsshouldhappenthisyearnotnextyearplease

[@davidtownsend6092]

Title should be "is given" a force vision. Misleading

[@TheSwordfishstudios]

Hey alex, I unsubscribed from other star wars channels because they put spoilers in the tiles and I always appreciated that you dont do that. Please dont include events from the content in the title.

[@artofstu42]

Anyone can use the Force? Nah.

[@AlonzoTompkins]

That feel when we will never get to see Grievous be cool in material that matters to general audiences.

[@pandinus1377]

I like this comic and how it was handled, but I still hate the concept of him wanting to get these improvements, before his story was tragic because he was brainwashed to become this way, now he is nothing but a powerful brute

[@birbddhaGodOfBirbs]

I like to think of it as Grievous' brainwashing convincing him he wanting this as well

[@bouncin2207]

It's not a big deal that he wanted to improve himself. They can still make him a tragic character and not just a classic boring villain.

[@pandinus1377]

@@bouncin2207 well so far they haven't, in the clone wars up until now he was as cliche and a joke as ever

Did you read the Son of Dathomir or Kanan comics?

Apparently that was Lucas' idea for his backstory.

[@ConvoySeibatoron1313]

I don’t care about general grievous in canon is legacy is forever tarnished thanks to George Lucas and Dave Filoni Genndy Tartakovsky and Henry Gilroy have a better idea for grievous a terminator of Jedi not a buffoon in fact they were the ones that created the idea of grievous having four light sabers not George or Dave

[@Vandicoup]

So Grievous from ROTS with the four sabers wasn't created by George Lucas?...

[@ConvoySeibatoron1313]

Yes Clone Wars: Vol. 2 2005 that was the fist time we see grievous do that then Lucas took that idea and put it in the movie but not the characters personality make him in to a buffoon

[@Vandicoup]

@@ConvoySeibatoron1313 Okay but George still created Grievous from those early Concept Art drawings by Warren Fu during production of ROTS but the 4-arms idea wasn't by George. It was originally by Tartakovsky, got it. Thank you for all the info!

@@ConvoySeibatoron1313 Wait, but what about Henry Gilroy though? I don't see him anywhere in the listings for Star Wars: Clone Wars crew members. He was only apart of Star Wars Rebels & TCW from 2008-present. Not CW from 2003-2005, right?...
