[@gggallin8279]

@@kingnova6408 not talking down Grievous since he’s more or less my favorite character out of Star Wars but he’s always been a coward even measured by most Sith standards. But that also made him a very strong fighter/ Jedi killer since he didn’t care about honor or fighting rules unlike other Lightsaber users. He often ran away once he saw his plan failed, used droids to attack unsuspecting enemies in a 1 vs 1 and often used traps. It’s not really canon anymore but in the legends canon it’s been said that when they transformed him into a cyborg they removed the honor of his original species out of his brain so he’d become a more cunning fighters and he’s even up there as one of Palpetine‘s favorite Subordinates due to him valuing killing Jedi over honor and prestige (which on the other side is the reason that Dooku hates him)

[@kalvin187douglas]

[@richardzaloudek8208]

[@nolansword9820]

General Grievous, one of the most powerful and ruthless generals in Star Wars

[@DrippedOutBadPiggie]

I am the best general

[@BacontheDarkSaviour308]

The irony of the Grievous’ line, ‘The future, a future where there are no Jedi!’ is that ultimately he got what he wanted, but by the time that happened, he was already dead.

[@AedanTheGrey]

Jango Fett too

[@ГотаБГ]

You know, everyone here in the comments saying about Grievous spinoff show or movie. But I thought about a different thing. Imagine a videogame, where you have to play as General Grievous during Clone Wars and your primary objective is hunt down all Jedis. Damn, that even could be even cooler, if there will be playable Necrosis, aka that droid builded out of Grievous body from Legends, but with different story where he was restored by The Empire, and still have to hunt down Jedis, but after Order 66. That would be awesome.

[@Sultan_Vader_VI]

“I have toppled nations. I have slain kings. I HAVE MURDERED LEGENDS!!!”

[@DominicPasquale]

Murder?? Is it murder to rid the galaxy of you JEDI, FILTH.

[@ThatFishP1]

Yknow, ironically, Grevious was a lot closer to getting what he wanted than he ever realized. "A future where there are no jedi". Sure he wasn't ALIVE to see that future, but he was always a tool to that cause, and he played his part. His efforts resulted in the death of almost all the jedi. I mean, it seems obvious, but it's pretty interesting that he techinically got what he wanted, it just cost him his own life and he never got to see it.

[@panosdks]

[@Luc42]

I'm so glad Tales of the Empire remembered that Grievous has two additional arms. Who expects a third lightsaber to pop out of nowhere and stab you in the gut while you're busy blocking the other two? No one and it's a shame they've only used that trick (to my knowledge) twice in canon.

[@AverageHandle_]

Ye it’s kinda frustrating watching TCW, when greivous beats Obi-wan in a duel but then loses the fight because obi-wan isn’t allowed to die or be injured.

[@richardzaloudek8208]

The particular move was only twice But he uses 4 arms quite regularly (spin me right round baby right round intensifies)

[@KN1GHT501]

Bro we NEED a Grievous spinoff series, maybe focused on his origin and rise to general of the CIS.

[@AeSunfyre]

I love that everybody is doing fan animations and stuff of General Grievous after his appearance in Tales of the Empire

[@Nimasti]

1:13 "I do not care about your politics. I do not care about your ... republic. I only live to see you die." Favourite line from Grievous. I love how he "hesitate" before saying republic, like it's disguting to call this thing a "republic". He don't see this system like a republic.

[@CrusadingJello]

Bro came out with the hardest General Grievous edit I've seen in months. Bravo SWFT, another great video to "-add to my collection."

[@Pyrodorah]

I freaking love Grievous.

[@kalvin187douglas]

Finally one of the great editors made a tribute dedicating to the character known as General Grievous. I know Grievous has one of the most smallest screen times in the series as a character and that has little shed in the story and impact of their character in Star Wars. They need to make a Grievous movie or show man, his story is so tragic and sad. It’s his turn for the spotlight. Anakin, Luke, and even Boba had their time

[@marknagorski1686]

He knew the Jedi were the bold ones...so he predicted the future of their fates: a future where there are no Jedi.

[@DrippedOutBadPiggie]

That fool held me back I am a better emperor than him. We could have won that war but no just because he was a weak coward not willing to show the full force of the C.I.S. and the power we could have took from those jedi slugs

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” ― Sun tzu, The Art of War

[@DeusVultCrusader]

I think that General Grievous is one of the most underrated charactere in the entire Star Wars cannon lore. As he said, he is thegeneral of the most biggest and powerful droid army the galaxy has ever seen, if Grievous wasn't part of Darth Sidious's plan he could have been one of the best villain in Star Wars. + his story is really good if you look into it.

[@darkdoubloontv8906]

Grievous is the best example of simple evil in star wars. His motives and reasoning are so simple that it makes it hard to really associate with him for the most part.
