Grievous still one of my favorites, I didn't like how dirty Filoni did him like rigging his chance to kill Eeth Koth and stealing one the Jedi (Adi Gallia) Grievous had kill while giving Grievous nothing but shamed on him. I would've been okay if Filoni did this instead: During 22 BBY while around mid-20 BBY Grievous is formidable and superior then by time of late 20 BBY or early 19 BBY Grievous begin to start gettin' weaker due to his implants and vital organs that also can't keep up with his implants.

@@cwylfre IKR? Filoni is really good creating stories, but I think that he has some problems working with pre-existing villains... specially Grievous. I mean, in the novel Matthew Stover descrives Grievous as a monster "built to intimidate, dominate and erradicate" and as "the most prolific slaughterr of Jedi since Durge"... but seems like Filoni, either didn't care about this or didn't even read the book (or any other media featuring him as he was suposesed to be) and just portrayed him as a lame coward, even as a comic relief sometimes!

Grievous’s story is actually really sad.. He didn’t chose to be this! He was once a noble warrior who wanted nothing, but to save his people. He was lied to and manipulated both mentally and physically turning him into something unnatural. He lost everything, his lover, his people, his religion, and his memories. He fought in a war that wasn’t his to begin with for the rest of his life and helped the very people who did this to him without even knowing. *He wasn’t a villain, he was a victim.*

I Genuinely don't think the alteration to his brain was to make him hate the jedi. cause fi you remove the entire action of him becoming a cyborg Grievous still has Ample reason to hate the jedi as much as he does, the Jedi stopping him from beating his rivals happens Before he becomes a cyborg, Gravois's hatred of the republic and the jedi is already a existing factor in his mind. and if they mess with his mind to much they lose the entire reason they want him aka being a amazing warrior. i think the alterations to his mind were to make him give up on helping his original race because we SEE the alterations to his brain are not hard coded laws he has to follow If so grievous would not be able to ignore/argue with count dooku like we see him do at times Grevious could still make full conscious choices of his own will infact his position as a general demanded that he retain that ability otherwise he would be no smarter then a commander droid.@@dudezjokinmystyl

I disagree, his creation shows the grey area of the republic while further reinforcing the evil of the Sith but during the war he was not a morally grey character. He was plain and simply evil. He wiped out an entire capital city’s populous just to show a literal child he could. Those same children he was planning on torturing and turning them into cyborgs like him.

Whatever ounce of natural sympathy Palpatine had as a child was trumped when his master forced him to relive murdering his entire family over and over again.

True, but to be fair Legends portrayed Grievous similarly to Canon and still have comic/novel/reference considered him a coward even way before Filoni Wars. •Legends already had Grievous lost early in the war at the Battle of Nadiem, after the Battle of Hypori. •Allowed to take his time, fighting a (renegade) Padawan "Flynn Kybo", instead of just killing him. •Allowed the droids to kill a Abyssinian Jedi rather than killing the Jedi himself. •Allowed to be saved by MagnaGuards that killed the Jedi, who sneaked up on Grievous. Yet according to the fans, the MagnaGuards aren't allowed to protect Grievous in Canon. •Most of the Jedi Grievous killed are mostly generic, who aren't even or shown to be powerful, which always bragged by everyone: Daakman Barrek, Sha'a Gi, Tarr Seirr, Zephara'ru'tor, Jmmaar, T'chooka D'oon, B'dard, Kybo Flynn, Soon Baytes, Walden Bridger, Flint Torul, Pablo-Jill and L'lacielo Sageon. Jedi Master Ur-Sema Du, Ki-Adi-Mundi, K'Kruhk, Shaak Ti and Adi Gallia, Mace Windu were the only one considered powerful. Either way Grievous still portray being competent by Canon, fought and defeated Ki-Adi-Mundi, Obi-Wan Kenobi (stalemated three times until aboard the Negotiator to above Utapau), Adi Gallia, Ahsoka Tano (aboard station to Florrum), Quinlan Vos, Asajj Ventress (19 BBY), Maul, Depa Billaba and Shaak Ti. Heck, *Canon* did what *Legends* couldn't do: •During his childhood, Grievous worship the warlords of Kalee. •Topple nations, murder Legends and killed kings. Decapitated a skilling, and encounter a Wookiee warrior. •Owned a pet and castle, with a medical droid. •Explained how his cyborg body work, Grievous's spinal cord carried signals to and from his robotic limbs and body as well as the organs contents of his gutsack, millions of pin-points electrodes stabbed down into his brain from the lining of his helmet, to monitor brain activity and boost nerve signal timings. •A Legion named after Grievous. •Kit Fisto called Grievous, the Separatist's best general. •Anakin called Grievous "a monster that needed to be stopped." Anakin even skipped sleeping just to search for Grievous. •Obi-Wan was obsessed capturing Grievous, which led him to ignored getting back safety with Eeth Koth. •Killed two powerful being (far beyond the Jedi/Sith) Old Daka, and later Mother Talzin. •killed two skills group warrior; Nightsisters and Mandalorian, which match up of Grievous once being a great warrior himself. •Underlings work under him such as Kleeve and the Sear brothers. •Still remembered by the galaxy. •The Kalessh mask of Grievous, obtained by Imperial General, and later Dok-Ondar. •Maul had a Force Vision of Grievous, which is interesting.

@@JaelaOrdo Bruh... you serious? Damn, I sure felt bad for you. 😂 While you're here bragging random bullsh!t, I'm here doing my research, combined all his recent kill, it somewhere more than 15, to be honest at least it not the lowest. *Helmet Collection 8:* in 22 BBY, Grievous was involved on Geonosis in the Geonosian Stalgasin hive's catacomb where he clashes against "a number of Jedi" and left none Force-sensitive alive, not letting one know his existence. *Lair of Grievous:* killed Jedi Master Neebo. *Lair of Grievous:* 9 Padawan, most people are forgetting not all Padawan are the same age as Ahsoka, we saw Padawan Obi-Wan (possibly the age of 25) defeating a Sith Assassin on Naboo. *Age of Republic:* in 21 BBY, killed a Unidentified Mikkian Jedi and a Unidentified Padawan. *Completed Vehicle:* in 20 BBY killed Jedi Master Jmmaar. *Star Wars Lightsabers A Guide to Weapons of the Force (2018):* in 19 BBY killed Jedi Master Roron Corobb taking his lightsaber. Now it your turn, tell me how many did Dooku, Ventress, Maul and Savage Opress killed in Canon? Because comparing it to Grievous is pretty much unfair for them. 😊 Coward? You mean when Ahsoka didn't take Grievous serious, calling him "Another Tinny" but get herself easily knock out unconscious under one second and fled to the storage room. You mean when Obi-Wan fled twice from Grievous? 1. On the Malevolence and 2. Own his Republic cruiser ship, You mean when the show overhype Ventress being very powerful but yet one-shotted with a single blaster and yet apparently she already unable to fight.

I always saw Grievous as powerful but a complete coward. This gives me such a different perspective on him. His apparent cowardice was driven more by his frustrations (both internal and external) and his need to prove himself. I can't believe that I was almost rooting for him during this video. Who person he had been died in that explosion, tampering with someone's brain can completely change who they are. The fact that he had any semblance his previous self is a testament to his tenacity. And honestly.......I wouldn't condone their genocide, but I couldn't blame him at all for massacring the Huks. he deserved revenge.

*@Omar Baba* Exactly! What do you expect the B1 battle droid are slow, you expect the Republic sit there being patient letting Grievous take his time rescuing his droids? The Republic doesn't give a f-uck about the droid safety, the droid are going to get destroyed either way. Grievous is still a smart commander, as he put his massive army to good use by overwhelming his opponents on "Dathomir", able to correctly anticipate the Republic's movements during the "Battle of Saleucami", was able to fool the Republic forces during the "Battle of Kamino" with his ships taking heavy casualties, but the only person that could figure out his plan was his rival, during the "Attack on Kenobi's fleets", Grievous was able to destroyed all Kenobi fleets without losing one of his own, during the "Third Battle of Mygeeto" Grievous was able to cut off Depa Billaba escape, using his massive army to good use, having them climb up the tall structure, even in the "Battle on Ord Mantell" a super tactical droid is impressed by Grievous' work. *Grievous TCW* shown be a better commander than *Admiral Trench* and the show had Grievous shown his strategy and tactics work, what heck this idiotic fool did on-screen? Trench did nothing but loses a lot of battle, first the Battle of Malastare, then the Battle of Christophsis, where he almost died and now the Battle of Anaxes. The only battle where Admiral Trench is victorious was the Battle of Ringo Vinda (by luck). Unlike Trench, Grievous doesn't retrieved help from a tactical droid or from a clone brain analysing the Republic movement. The show had him win over many battle such as: *Battle of Abregado* - 22 BBY *Battle of the Ryndellia system* - 22 BBY *Battle of Falleen* - 22 BBY *First Battle of Felucia* - 21 BBY *Battle near the Arda system* - 21 BBY *Battle of Patitite Pattuna* - 20 BBY *Battle of Dathomir* - 20 BBY *Attack on Obi-Wan Kenobi's fleet* - 20 BBY *Battle of Florrum* - 20 BBY While outside the show: *Battle of Haruun Kal* - 19 BBY *Battle of Zanbar* - 19 BBY *@Kshatriya* But a Political Dark Lord shouldn't abandoned his own ship, full of expensive droids leaving all his forces behind just because some Jedi is after him. Sure Grievous leave all his droids behind which only happens three/or two times compared to his other battles on-screen. But the main thing is a droid who are given a direct order should shouldn't questions their commander, if they're given a direct orders they are first given.

They could still droidify him by saying the Jedi attempted to assanate him for the bugs death then this would both make the plant *hate* the Jedi and love the sith for saving there hero and this would both help build up a army of elites trained by grievous this war could have easily went a far different way. That's why I think palpatine wouldn't let this plan go through because it might threaten his grand plan as the separatist might win so he couldn't gain the power of the empire as many would hate them as in the original he tricked others to think they where the good guys which massively shrunk the amount of rebels so this might be a bad decision in the long run atlest for the would be emperor.

Grevous is what makes a good star wars villain, someone who has seen both sides of the war who is tormented by his past, manipulated to become a shell of themselves. He truly strikes fear into the hearts of his enimies, unlike palpatine who just pulls strings. I always thought Vader and grevous we're cooler because they have to live with the pain of never being themselves they had to suffer to become sith. I always had this idea that people like palpatine and duku where kinda rich kids who "inherited" the force and dark side where Vader and grevous we're forced into it, and they have to suffer with the dark side every day

Really, the only SW character I can think of who had this happen to him. It’s even worse when the backstory was changed for a while for a lame one, at least in this case, the og one was recanonized, but it’s so baffling to see how under the radar this news went considering he is one of the movie characters. Glad to see there are videos of him still being made, keeping him relevant or casting light to his now obscure pros. So thanks a lot for that.

I always loved the clone wars series, but they definitely nerfed Grevious too much, having said that apparently Lucas arts wouldn’t grant character rights to Dave Filoni unless he made Grevious fit lucas’s vision how he was in episode 3 Edit: they should have just made Grevious a beast in the clone wars or at least 25% more powerful, and stuck with the mace windu chest crush to nerf him for episode 3. He didn’t have to be a killing machine like in the 2003 cartoon, but more powerful than he was in the clone wars. Maybe they should have made him more of a strategic genius kind of threat so differentiate him from the usual force wielders

Glad someone else realized that the Clone Wars characterization of Grievous is moreso Lucas's idea than Filoni's. There's video on the creation of Grievous with Lucas where he said he always envisioned the character as being something of a Saturday cartoon villain. My theory is the reason Grievous was such a cool and terrifying character in the 2003 series was because the writers were only given the character design and his main concept, a cyborg that can fight on equal footing with Jedi and even kill them. My guess is Lucas didn't finalize Grievous's personality, but with Episode 3 coming out soon they needed Grievous to appear in the cartoon to begin advertising him. Working with what they got, the team of the 2003 Clone Wars portrayed Grievous as a Jedi killing powerhouse, and near the end of the show they had Mace Windu crush Grievous's chest cavity as a soft reboot so that it would transition into the movie version, and thus the version that would become his Canon portrayal from there onward.

After what I read about General Grievous on Wikipedia, his entire character was meant to serve as foreshadowing to the birth of Darth Vader. Excellent video by the way. It was really cool learn about his background is people and their culture as a whole. Furthermore adding grounds to why he’s my favorite Star Wars character of all time. Thanks to this video, I never really did fully understood how tragic his backstory was until now, more so than Vader‘s, arguably.

I used to think the authors had made a bunch of weak Jedi as an attempt to make Grievous seem stronger, however after hearing everything laid out and explained in such exquisite detail it makes perfect sense. I didn’t understand or give credit to the sheer desperation the Jedi were forced into and the way they changed many traditions in order to counter this threat. It’s no wonder they were almost completely wiped out as a result. Thank you for another amazing video!

Grievous is the one character that Filloni ruined in my opinion. He went from a genuinely terrifying unit of mass destruction, to your run of the mill token bad guy who’s defeated at the end of each episode, shouts “Curses! Foiled Again!” And then returns next time to repeat the cycle. We need a series based on his triumphs.

Whether I'm looking at the comics, the 2003 miniseries, or the Clone Wars series, I always found Grievous an interesting character. I also thought people gave him a bad wrap calling him a coward since much of the time he was put in a position where he had no choice but to escape and bounce back later. Not to mention how efficient he was at his job. I also hated that a lot of channels that covered Grievous never addressed the fact that his body wasn't totally ruined like Anakin's, but they rebuilt him anyway. Instead, many would just gloss over that little detail and say he was injured the same as Anakin but it just wasn't true. So glad you cleared it up plus any contradictions in the lore so he did end up accepting the upgrade and kept it up to speed

And you do realise someone with a Brutal past doesn't fit Dinsey as it is because Kids and Brutality don't mix? Stop supporting and looking up to Disney, Stop feeding your kids Pedophilia Material

Grevious was the only one who understood the truth: there is no strength in flesh, only weakness There is no loyalty in flesh, only betrayal There is no victory in flesh, only failure There is no certainty in flesh, only death. But although flesh may blacken and fail, there is no need to fear for this too can be replaced, you can be reincarnated, reborn in invincible steel finally free of his intolerable mortal shell

Equally pretentious would be to respond with: There is no truth without the shadows of lies There is no death but the shadows of life There is no loyalty but the shadows of broken fortitude casted into doubt There no victory but looms over failure There is no strength but all that it casts Added for balance: Although everything decays into dust, life is the fire that sharpens even dust and casts its own shadow into screeching steel. The screeching of steel has always been in the service of flesh, and even broken, its echoes are of what is dreamt, spellt, felt and spoken.
