'Nightmare Fuel': Grievous' TERRIFYING Entry into the Clone Wars in the Battle of Hypori

[@masteroftheassassins]

This was a General Grevious that you needed to be afraid of. I wish we got to see more of this version of him in the Clone Wars.

[@theangryotaku3361]

we definitely got a good bit of that in the 2003 series, just sad it didnt carry over to TCW :(

[@hgill257]

Yeah George Lucas said he wanted grevious to be the mustache twirling bad guy who makes a mess then runs away

[@inductivegrunt94]

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.

[@eliminator1472]

Then Filoni ruined him :(

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

@@eliminator1472 ironically, we have to blame George Lucas for that, he wanted to not have Grievous be a technological terror and rather be a coward.

"Run, Jedi, run. You have only prolonged the inevitable." - General Grievous

[@Historyandlegends789]

And he was right

[@jw_gojifan19]

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.

[@EmperorOfTheScrubs]

Instead we got the goofball in TCW and ROTS

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

[@austinduff6493]

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!

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.

[@DarthBaras13]

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.

[@TugiFox]

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.

[@IBW_3000]

Just imagine if they made a Grievous horror movie. Animate it like 2003 and it would be perfection.

[@j3680]

Trying to imagine it not animated but it don’t feel right

[@minicle426]

Don't really like the animation style. Very overated.

[@baldrian22]

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

[@MrWill9002]

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."

[@Daniel_Huffman]

"Actually, I think I'm alright to come with you-"

[@michaelandreipalon359]

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.

[@Hello-bi1pm]

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.

[@yuhyuhyuhyuj]

[@schmudej85]

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.
