I loved the Tales of the Empire redesign, they really did Grievous justice. He's almost as menacing as the 2003 CW Grievous

You are aware said redesign comes from clone wars yes? It was used in epiaodes well into production before disney canceled it

I don’t think he was ’’almost’’ as menacing, but as menacing as the 2003 one

​@@TMicHell I swear I'm not looking for them, i follow this guy ever since his Dooku video and Grievous just happens to be my favourite character If its any consolation I was ok with the use of 03 Grievous in this vid, once you pair it with the personality, voice and history of canon Grievous it really does feel like the same character now

[@skwish_rl]

@@kyrios443well in the 2003 animation he was much more coordinated with his strikes, even using his feet to hold the saber. Honestly would only need one light saber to win the fights that he’s in when battling in the 2008 and forward.

[@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)

[@rukasuygo]

these new grievous edits go so hard

[@kalvin187douglas]

Agreed 🔥

[@baronkahyaoglu4964]

Grievous and Darth Vader are both perfect examples of demons that the Jedi Order themselves created. Both Qymen and Anakin seeked help to only be shunned away and return as Grievous and Darth Vader, bringing an end to the Order with their revenge

anakins choices were his own. he was not shunned by the order there really isn’t any proof of that in canon. hes is actually complimented multiple times in canon by various jedi masters. they have a pretty good amount of respect for him. also blaming the jedi for their own genocide is a little weird

[@nolansword9820]

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

[@richardzaloudek8208]

Imagine if we get a series focusing on Grievous tragic backstory, if for nothing else then at least for this guy to make a sick edit that will make us feel bad for him and cry. Masterful editing.

[@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.

[@kalluzeb021]

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

[@kn1ght722]

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

Idk why but Grievous honestly comes off so Intimidating in the Night-sister Genocide it reminds me of Darth Vader.

[@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

[@CrusoelandProductions]

This legitimately feels like a trailer for a Grievous show. Nicely done!

[@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.

[@joliezac3109]

Amazing!! So happy he was menacing again in Tales of the Empire.

[@Star_Maks]

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. It also makes it easy to admire him for his pure ruthlessness and skill, even if that entails committing horrible acts. He is cool for the same reason he is evil. He just is
