[@generalgrievous8017]

Indeed he was this is the cannon grievous in my opinion

[@jmnorthwoods3184]

So this was made while they were making Revenge of the Sith. George Lucas hadnt decided yet whether Grievous was an ultimate Jedi Killer or a mustache twirling villain of the week. Ultimately we know what he chose but the animators went with the first option. In my own head canon I like to think he was a jedi killer as seen here in the beginning of the war. But instead of being injured by Mace Windu at the Battle of Coruscant, it happens much earlier in the war. Turning him into the coward that we see in canon.

In this version, the Colouring of the Clones represents their rank... red means it’s a Captain, the blue ones are ARC trooper and/or Lieutenants, yellow stands for Commander and green is Seargent

[@sami12569]

The main red captain here was an ARC Captain. ARC's are a part of the special forces and would end up serving mainly as lieutenants for basic clones. Fordo (the red ARC captain) was given the rare position of being a captain both to regular clones and ARC troopers.

The reason why Grevious is so badass is *because* it was everyone’s introduction. They haven’t fully figured out what his character was going to be in the movie, so they gave his design to the studio and so they created his character based off of his design because they weren’t told what it was.

5:08 The funny thing is, the clones are talking most of the time. Their helmets just block everyone around or outside from hearing them until they choose to speak to someone without their helmet frequency. So even if they are quiet to the viewers, the scenes of them doing nonverbal hand signals is definitely more of a militaristic setting.

[@cupojoego]

I'll never understand why it's said this isn't cannon. The end of this series is literally the opening shot of Episode III. In the movie, Grievous is holding his chest and coughing, which is because of the interaction with Mace Windu at the end of this series. It's also an incredibly directed series of animation thanks to the amazing Genndy Tartakovsky. Oh, and when you said "vintage" I died inside. :(

George Lucas liked it but wanted to do a clone wars told by him with new cgi technology. He and Dave pulled quite a bit from the 2d clone wars. Ventress, her ship, battle of mon Calamari, and shaak ti protecting the chancellor.

[@a_fine_edition2746]

It’s because the 3D animated series came out in 2008 and sort of retconned a couple of things from this series, like Grievous’ gravely voice and cough always being prevalent. Though to be honest the micro-series is more in-line with Revenge of the Sith than the 3D show, where Anakin and Obi-Wan fight Dooku and Grievous every other episode. Revenge of the Sith treats it as though it’s the first time they’ve met Grievous and that they haven’t fought Dooku since Attack of the Clones, and the 2D-series keeps much better consistency with that, as does a lot of the comics and novels from the pre-2008 era of Prequel content.

[@dunringill1747]

When originally aired (before SW3), George Lukas did declare the Tartakovsky mini series as canon. When the 3D animated series began, Lukas declared that as an official continuation of events after the Tartakovsky series. Things changed. @SkuIIKn1ght Agreed. This is still canon to me. Disney may now have control, but they lack the understanding & respect of the original franchise.

The reason Grievous was like this is because George Lucas only gave the people making the show his design and that he killed jedi, and they went the direction they thought was right. George didn't like this, mainly cause he thought this version of was basically a re-skin of Vader (which he wasn't exactly wrong), so in RoTS and the Clone Wars, he made Grievous the way he wanted him, a mustache swirling villain.

[@dunringill1747]

I'm not sure how this went under the radar for me because I would have been all over it when you released it. This series should never be ignored. I watched them all as they aired. What we call Vol 1 was composed of 5 minute cartoon shorts. George Lukas was very happy with them but wanted more from Genndy Tartakovsky, which ushered in Vol 2. Vol 2 were composed of 15 minute cartoons allowing for more story detail to come forward each episode. *At the time of airing, George Lukas declared these micro series AS OFFICIAL CANON.* They were released after SW 2 as promotional shorts for the upcoming SW 3. When the 3D animation series "The Clone Wars" came out much later, Lukas declared them as official canon continuation meant to take place AFTER the Tartakovsky series. Decisions changed since then. *Important takes from the mini series:* - Obi-Wan's growing bond with Commander Cody as a dependable ally, which gave more depth to the betrayal of order 66. - Palpatine's constant use of playing one side against the other to help develop the training of young Anakin in his direction. *Palpatine was able to successfully push Anakin's strength development and graduation of Jedi rank while isolating Anakin's training from proper development of Jedi wisdom.* Jedi wisdom is THE most important facet of Jedi training. To truly earn rank as a Jedi, one needs proper wisdom to guide their strengths. Anakin blazed his way up the ranking but without the proper training. This all gives added depth to how important Qui-Gon Jinn would have been as a father figure to Anakin. Obi-Wan by comparison was inexperienced and always seen as more of an older brother - not a father. - General Grievous was truly a force to be reckoned with. His confidence at taking on Jedi was growing significantly as he had been slaying them throughout the war. Until he met up with a superior force, that is. Mace Windu had a reputation as a top tier bad-ass and this series did well to highlight that. Windu was not going to "play around" with Grievous. Crushing Grievous' cybernetic parts not only gave the General his nagging cough, it also shattered Grievous' confidence. Grievous grew a bit of PTSD self doubt in his character arc. He became more cautionary, especially at the thought of taking on another Jedi.

The issue with Grievous in the modern Clone Wars is that they didn’t want to make him just a clone of Vader. So George Lucas gave him a much more slimy and cowardly personality in Revenge of The Sith (after this show ended), and that personality from the movie was what influenced the Grievous in the 2008 show. Also, Grievous really doesn’t get to kill a lot of Jedi in the modern show because, most of the time, he’s up against characters with plot armor. Main characters like Ahsoka and Obi-Wan obviously can’t die because they’re too central to the story. And then you have cases like Kit Fisto, etc, where we see some characters in Revenge of The Sith or even after that, and so they can’t be allowed to die before hand. Honestly I like to think that Grievous is just as capable as he was in the 2003 Micro series, and that the enemies he fights in the 2008 show are just strong or lucky enough to survive. You can definitely see that Grievous gets much more threatening as the 2008 show goes on. Beating Obi-Wan in plenty of duels and even that one episode where he basically wipes out the entire Nightsister clan (a feat so badass that they brought it up in Fallen Order like something out of an ancient mythological legend.) So I still prefer the current Grievous. He combines that same badass design and fighting style with the more arrogant and aggressive personality that makes us love to hate him.

This stops where Episode III begins.

Were you able to realize that Anakin and Ventress were fighting on Yavin 4? The very same planet where the Rebel Alliance base will be hidden?

I think in canon, Vader stabs Shaak-Ti while maditating (like seen by Yoda in a vision on Dagoba or in the deleted Episode III scene) during the 501st Order 66 assault on the Jedi Temple.
