People don't give Grievous enough credit for what he is, especially if you're comparing his Clone Wars 2003 to others. Grievous had nearly his entire body replaced with machinery, re-learned how to move properly, then learned how to become a better dualist than the majority of Jedi, all without use of the Force. He really was a monster that shouldn't be dismissed because of his failures

[@MogusMasterSaikawa22]

The only Jedi he killed was nahder vebb who’s made fun of by his own master for not being a good Jedi and couldn’t beat Ashoka he’s a joke

[@tronovonflidder775]

@@MogusMasterSaikawa22 He's killed jedi off-screen. And that very Master retreated from a 1v1. If he were such a joke, he woulda been bodied then n' there by Kit Fisto. Just because most of the main characters are better than him or at least good enough to escape from him, it doesn't mean he wasn't one of the greatest duelists/Jedi killers in the galaxy at the time. There were like 10,000 Jedi or something alive during the Clone Wars. To be better than pretty much all of them besides like the top 5 or something, is quite something. Hell, Grievous traded wins with Obi-Wan all the time if you actually recall the outcomes of their duels.

[@MogusMasterSaikawa22]

@@tronovonflidder775 I don’t know if you’ve heard of something called show not tell. They didn’t show me general grievous being anything other than a weak incompetent coward throughout the show and to a lesser extent the movie he’s in for 2 seconds and is the end of his life. There is absolutely no way you can convince me that general grievous beat masters yet can’t beat Ashoka at like the beginning of the show instantly hell if I remember he locks lightsabers with her one time how does that make sense he can send a blast door flying 50 feet a kick yet can’t overpower Jedi who are never shown to have super strength in the movies even the show. There’s something called consistency unfortunately Star Wars has erm idk like none and not just in discussion about how powerful the characters are. General grievous is shit

[@tronovonflidder775]

@@MogusMasterSaikawa22 Bro, just like literally any other force user will do, Ahsoka most likely reinforced her body during combat, with the force. If you don't think tearing ships apart counts as super strength, then I dunno what else to tell you. Either way, Grievous knocked her down as a padawan, but then had to deal with her clones. After that she ran away. Grievous literally would have been able to kill Ahsoka if they were alone during that fight, so I dunno what you're talking about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6eQoJiIg5aNlaM The episode wasn't finished, but the situation still took place. Just like how Cad Bane & young Boba Fett's duel still took place. So yeah, you literally see firsthand, Grievous beating a, "Master," clean. Without him escaping or anything.

[@thespanishinquisition2200]

@@tronovonflidder775 Master Fisto retreated because he’s a Jedi master. That was the whole theme of the episode, not to answer power with power and all that. He’s not gonna get pulled into a fight he doesn’t need to fight, and his objective there was to gather information and report to the Council, which is what he did. And he kind of was bodied by Fisto, seeing as he cut off both of Grevious legs. If he was anywhere but his castle, where they were able to repair him, he would have definitely died.

[@jessemillan1385]

For the People saying he’s scared of a lot of people because he’s run from a lot of fights (I’m seeing people mention kit fisto alot). That scene in the old clone wars cartoon sums it up perfectly I think, when count dooku is telling him he needs fear, intimidation and surprise on his side and to flee if he doesn’t have these on his side.. it doesn’t mean he’s afraid necessarily, but it’s how he fights and stays alive against force users so often when he isn’t one x

[@EliaZGmod]

I belive Plo Koon could defeat grevious. Since he was the only one ever to defeat yoda in a sparring session. I'm not sure if grevious cybernetics did have protection from this, but Plo Koon also had the force ability "force Judgement" - which is basically light side force lightning. That alone sounds like a bad match for any electronics.

Not just that, but plo koons fighting style gave him an advantage fighting multiple enemies, this was also affective against fighters who’s styles had them moving often and striking from different angles in a flash, I’d wager to assume that would also help against someone like grievous who used multiple lightsabers

[@benhaenraets4369]

Just because x beats y and y beats z doesn't mean x beats z. Plo beat yoda by particular strategies that may not have worked against grevious.

Plo Koon didn’t beat Yoda though, in a video game Anakin said he heard Plo Koon beat Yoda. It doesn’t say he did, or is it elaborated on anywhere else in cannon or legends. Doubt it happened. Plo is still a badass though.

[@ryandenina7735]

Dooku made Grievous' cyborg body for him. All Dooku has to do is hit the off button 🤣

[@BladeOfJ4]

I'd say he also feared Shaak Ti. Because even though he did beat her so that he could "kidnap" the chancellor, he was unsure he could beat her in a proper duel because of her reputation as a skilled lightsaber duelist, so he brought electrified cables to cheaply win the duel and disarm her.

[@mercury2157]

Also not mentioning that she was already exhausted and he still didn't bother trying to take her out

[@dazdavis7896]

Shaak Ti? He DID beat her. He did not “ambush and cheaply win” against her. Read Labyrinth of Evil. It covers parts that were not shown in the Clone Wars microseries…. He did not “fear” Shaak Ti at all. Anakin is the one Jedi other than Yoda he would never be able to take. Sidious knew Anakin would body him. That’s why he kept them apart during the course of the war. Then, once he no longer had any need for Grievous, he wanted Anakin to be the one to hunt him down and kill him. He knew it would further boost his image as the Republic’s savior if he killed BOTH separatist military leaders, for when Order 66 was handed down to set him apart from the other Jedi and paint him as the only one loyal to Palpatine and the rest of the Republic. Just look what Anakin did to Dooku, the same Dooku who trained and completely toyed with Grievous disarming him at will. Sidious knew he’d wreck Grievous. There’s an infinites story where he DOES wreck him. Clone wars infinites stories are what WOULD have happened had one detail been switched or reversed. On Kamino, if Kenobi had went to stop Ventress and Anakin had went after Grievous; Anakin proceeds to clap him. Cutting off all his arms off just like Kenobi would later do, and subdues and captures him.. That’s a Lucasfilm published source. From the Clone Wars magazine #7. Anakin officially would’ve smoked Grievous. You’re supposed to pick that up from watching ROTS anyways, like I said from when Palpatine wants to send him after him so he can be the one to hunt him down and kill him. He knew he’d have no problem doing so.

[@jordanmayne2270]

exactly he's such a coward yk how many jedi could've killed him kit fisto for one could've done it and also eeth koth too who did beat him in the proper duel but bcuz of those droids standing around him that continued to electrify master koth and even then he still blocked all of that tinny's attacks

And he’d re-honed his skill in that 3 years in a rivalry with the greatest swordsman on the other side of the war, the one who would go in to cut him down.

[@AC_blessed]

Would be interested to know his opinion on pong krell.. the intimidation factor from his size, scary appearance and extra limbs that really help to give grevious an advantage over force users are taken away against krell, who is also a very strong force user… I guess it would come down to how good a fighter grevious truly believes he Is

[@austinbevis4266]

Grevious can rotate his wrists like drills. He also has crazy grip being able to climb up walls. I don’t think we know how strong his enhancements made his strength in other aspects though.

[@lorddominus1498]

Pong krill would have either die by grievous or if he won go to dooku and join him and dooku would say he's impressed but kill pong krill right away because he would have messed up darth sidious's hole plan and set in back long and the droid would have won by then

[@lopirobinson1991]

Greivous was an awesome, creative character. He's not my favorite by any means but I never got the hate he sometimes gets; such an original idea.

[@parkerbeverley4271]

I do think he had some fear for Kenobi. I think this mainly because Kenobi was able to best grievous and make him retreat multiple times during their six duels. He was used to overwhelming an opponent 1 time not losing many. Even in their last duel he tried to flee

[@Adamdya]

I guess so, I mean he definitely knew He couldn’t easily beat kenobi as his tactic was already wasted, dooku taught him to give his opponents fear, intimidation and surprise, but to kenobi that wasn’t going to work anymore

[@parkerbeverley4271]

@@Adamdya the thing about Kenobi and his style is he keeps tight movements and is always moving his lightsaber. Grevious wants to finish a fight as soon as possible, so he uses 2 lightsabers to catch lightsabers then uses his other arms to use a saber or blaster. Also in their last duel Kenobi switched to form 4 as he practiced it as a Padawan. So his catching the lightsaber trick doesn't really work and kenobi can use the form Yoda uses to a decent extent.

[@Lonewolf-dy5yb]

The RotS Novelization specifically states that he feared Obi Wan and Anakin. They were the legendary Jedi of the Clone Wars and upon his first encounter with them in the book, Obi Wan frees himself and Anakin with ease. Grievous chooses to retreat, fearing how quickly Kenobi took control of the situation, and fearing Anakin more, as Anakin had the reputation of being the better warrior. Then on Utapau, when Grievous is unable to break Obi Wan's defenses and loses two of his arms, he flees. The novel states that he realized he had an urgent appointment somewhere else, anywhere else. Of course, this was Grievous's final duel, so he had reason to be afraid.

[@Iseeyou11111]

I think Cannon Grevious should be afraid of Legands Grevious. Facts!

[@rdr2v1nce7]

Fax. In the 2003 clone wars miniseries grievous is basically treated like a horror movie monster, using the bomb theory and simple power scalling. He mopped the floor with 3 councel members and with space shaggy

[@Daniel-fd1dh]

Love your videos! On Yoda and Grievous, I also think that Dooku warned Grievous not to face Yoda, because Grievous would never be able to unbalance Yoda. I remember that Dooku once told Grievous that to beat the best of the jedi, he needed fear, surprise, and intimidation on his side, but if any of these were lacking he should retreat. He needed to unbalance them, get them afraid so they can't fall into the strengths of the light side. I think Dooku believed Grievous couldn't do that to Yoda. Yoda was simply too rooted in the calm of the light, and too experienced, for someone like Grievous to unbalance.

[@Flamyll]

I recall in the Novel that Grevious was nervous about the idea of fighting Anakin and Obi-Wan also. Citing that they were confirmed "More Deadly than other Jedi"

[@tristantaffs8655]

This is the exact reason that Anakin never met Grievous until saving Palpatine. He had been carefully redirecting Anakin away from Grievous. He knew that neither Anakin or Grievous would stop fighting until the other is dead. They were the "poster boys" for each side of the war respectively. Go and watch all of the Clone Wars animated. Anakin never directly meets Grievous. Ever.

I mean, I still firmly believe Kit Fisto could’ve beaten grievous in single combat.

[@TheGreatOne777]

Fisto really won that encounter if you ask me . Sure at the end he took off when the droids arrived but up until that point he was putting it on grievous for sure.

[@marek2046]

He definitly should fear gunguns as they were the only ones who manage to capture them,and even if he bested all of them, women and children included. He would end up in 1v1 against the most powerful being, Darth Jar Jar and he would have no chance of surviving

[@Historicutuber]

[@anakinsghost4787]

I think he feared Kit Fisto after their little battle. I consider it a win for Fisto because Grevious would have lost in about 30 more seconds if Grevious did not have bodyguards.

[@neillbrown8146]

I like to think after the fight with Kit Fisto. Grievous had some fear towards Fisto. Grievous usually would overwhelm and use fear to win his fights. But that’s the last thing you should do with master Fisto. He’s too calm and collected. Also he’s a true master at form one.

@@kwametodd6094 that was especulation from legends, the lightsaber styles were only imitated by grievous thanks to his cybernetic enhancements, he couldnt properly use the force to perfect them hence why jedi who didnt fear him held their own even if they werent the "top dogs" (ahsoka-fisto i.e) yes, grievous could learn the physical technique of vaapad, but could have never use it efectively rendering the actual strenght of the technique seriously lacking, thats why he always lost to obi wan, because the weapon of a jedi master is not the lightsaber, is the force and against a non user, their advantage is huge, mace would have floored grievous, the same with anakin, plo-koon, yoda and many others

[@Byitn]

I think that Grievous, if not too overconfident as he is, would also fear Kenobi. Obi Wan bested him many times throughout the war and Grievous, being so good at understanding his opponents' styles, surely noticed that Kenobi was getting better and better each time. At the time of Revenge of the Sith, Grievous should have known he had no chance of defeating Obi Wan, also considering that his style, being centered on defense, was useless to copy and use against himself. Obi Wan could counter Grievous almost always, or at worst he could still be more than a match for him, but we cannot say the opposite. So, in my opinion, Grievous should fear kenobi for the same reason all the jedy repsect him: him unmetched defenses, that make every aggressive attack just useless

[@Daniel-fd1dh]

I don't think Grievous would fear Obi Wan. While Obi Wan has beaten Grievous, Grievous has also beaten Obi Wan, and forced him to retreat. He probably believed he could best Kenobi, and regarded him as a rival, but not someone to fear in the sense that he would cower before him. Even just from objective experience without his ego clouding, Grievous believing he could kill Kenobi was not out of the question, since after all, he came very close, including during their duel in Revenge of the Sith

[@Byitn]

@@Daniel-fd1dh as I seid, no doubt Grievous beat Obi Wan different times, but Grievous also experienced the continue growth of his rival. Obvoiusly, we are just giving our opinions, and noone can really tell who's right apart from the creators of SW themselves. That being seid, in my opinion Grievous should have known that he would be outmatched in the final duel, and actually he was bested easily by Kenobi in their loghtsaber confrontation; if Grievous went close to kill Kenobi, is just because he tried to escape and lukily had an occasion to fight him disarmed. But of course even your idea may be the right one and is based on facts, so we might just never know for sure

I think Plo Koon could’ve beaten him. He was the only jedi to have ever beaten Yoda in sparring. He had skills in telekinesis and could control his environment. Ahsoka Tano would also probably have a decent chance at beating Grevious. I’d be surprised if Mace couldn’t beat him since he defeated Sidious. The debate has been whether or not Sidious let him defeat him in order to push Anakin to the dark side. He didn’t. When you watch the fight, it’s clear he overwhelmed Sidious at the end. Obviously, Obi Wan could beat him as well. Luke Skywalker could beat him. He’d just crush him without even using a light saber. Probably several jedi could best him in battle. Just use the force to crush him, pull his arms off, or throw him off a cliff. When comparing Grevious’ abilities to those of the force, he had insect-like skills.

[@CerbeRawr]

force crush isn't a jedi technique, and only Windu uses it rarily since he uses a part of dark-side. About pulling his arms off.. his whole body is made to endure jedi techniques, and therefore force-pull (even though i do think indeed, it would damage him). And about throwing him off a cliff, well... he's made in dura-steel, and he had to survive worse, i do think he'd survive this easily.

Its a laughible suggestion that Yoda would need to use his light saber to kill the General. Yoda could easily crush him into a ball and go on fighting something else.

Its quite clear the creator's point of view is Sidious should never be beaten because he is better than every single person. Well, that's how the creator acts.

Based on what we've seen in 2003 Clone Wars, I'd say Grievous at the very least respected Shaak Ti and Ki-Adi Mundi as they could actually stand their ground against the General. Windu was probably up there as well. I always said it would have made more sense to send a handful of Jedi including Ki-Adi and Shaak Ti to Utapau to fight Grievous and get a rematch. Would have made more sense if all but two or so Jedi were killed by Grievous and Kenobi only with some luck would have bested him in the end.

[@RealMasterWindu]

I like that Kenobi wasn't added on this list, yes there is basically no way for grievous to kill Kenobi due to his mastery in form 3. but in ROTS grievous would have won against obi wan if it wasn't for plot armor

[@silvernexoknight]

So Cool

[@MentalWarrior777]

Im curious about doku grivious fight. I also know the result of a grivious sidious fight but i wonder how it would play out

[@rw28ks2012]

Maybe I blinked but did you show the clip where Mace wounded GG with a force crush to the chest???

[@richv1893]

Grievous should have been afraid of Kenobi, granted Kenobi killed Grievous with a blaster he still got the job done.

[@tronovonflidder775]

Grievous defeated Obi-Wan a few times. As hard as Kenobi is to kill, he's not exactly a huge powerhouse to fear. That being said, he did bully Darth Vader, but I guess we can put that down to either Obi-Wan becoming more powerful in Kenobi, or Grievous actually as it turns out, is just a fucking badass to actually be a match for Obi-Wan in the first place.

[@khalildosso4072]

After Mace Windu force crush Grievous and gave him that cough Grievous didn't want to part of Mase Windu.

[@ryandenina7735]

Grievous is Captain Tarpal's whipping boy🤣

[@loglog4974]

Biggest enemy would be that big magnet they used in the n64 game to clean up debris off the train that you fought off of

[@R4ynze]

Anikin at his prime, obi wan later in the war like around episode 3 when obi did defeat him, grevious definitely under estimated the power of obi all the way through the war and Anikin later on

[@lordgodspeed1539]

general grievous did fight Mace windu. A foot on top of it would be considered a bit of a train in Star Wars. And admittingly they fought to a draw. And that says a lot because the physical terrain in that particular fight favorite grievous seeing how he has magnetic feet in all kinds of stuff. Not to mention an on-board computer that adapts to fighting techniques of enemies. I believe on solid ground mace would have found a way to slice and dice him.. I'll do what he did also and one of the last dark horse comics which was drop a boulder on grievous right in front of dooku.

[@requirementunacessible7061]

Artentously there is one specific species that was rumoured to enslave his kind, and bolbously he was fated by them because of the death of his beloved. By an osulous thought he could be scarred by the death of her and she haunts him in his mind.

[@niftypunk7120]

It is important to note that there's no way even Count Dooku could ever defeat GrandMaster Yoda in a fight. So General Grievous should run as fast as he can if he ever met Yoda on a bad day

[@donleoni2880]

ONLY 3?! The guy run all the time away everytime things are getting bad. He is the roadrunner of the clone serie.

[@austinbevis4266]

I figured he would fear his bosses because they both could shoot out electricity at him. Being a cyborg, that surely would fuck him up a bit

[@animatedgeneralgrievous2443]

I fear no man but those three they scared me

[@paulcoe3455]

what would you think would happen if Anakin fought Grievous during the Clone Wars at least once or a few times.

[@TheVanillaface00]

Anakin would wreck him

[@dominicanderson9492]

@@TheVanillaface00 nah

[@CerbeRawr]

@@TheVanillaface00 nah, Anakin was good at duelling, but not at Grievous' level. Anakin was far too reckless, far too focalised on winning. Yes Grievous is like this as well, but he learns from his opponents, and could've pulled a trick on Ani to beat him. And plus, in raw strength, Anakin is easily beaten.

[@saturn2045]

Anakin would smash Grievous. Look at how in the movie Obi-Wan force pushed Grievous and it did quite a bit of damage. Anakin is so much stronger in the force than Obi-Wan, and if Grievous pissed Anakin off, Anakin would just rag-doll him or force crush his organs like Windu did in the animated show.

[@whunt5533]

That and Dooku and Palpatine would've just used the darkside and pull his but appart like Lego. They ain't getting into a Lazer sword fight with senior bro bot.

[@MrGawn]

link that windu video

[@about84cats86]

Icould honestly see General Grievous being a super op Bounty hunter if he did become a wanted fugitive of both sides, he could fend off and hold his ground against just about anyone they sent. idk im not a fan sidius but i must say i cant see him allowing anyone into the ranks of the emipire or sith without thinking of some kind of strategy against them incase of any deception or something to ensure or guarantee his victory.

[@professorx1118]

I think Grievous may have feared obi-wan since kenobi easily survived his attacks muttiple times

[@trollzynisaacjohan1793]

You ever played WOTC miniatures. Grievous had 1 force point. So he was force sensitive in legends. Why else was such a fearsome warrior even before being a cyborg. He was never that powerful though to use it per say. More akin to aurra singe

[@miazuki916]

I don't wanna be obvious but in my opinion Grievous wouldn't have been nearly as much of a threat if he wielded only a single lightsaber.. Jedi learn from a young age to deal with blaster bolts so deflecting such becomes second nature to them.. Lightsabers were simply the most effective way to beat a Jedi and even in all the different lightsaber forms you're never trained to deflect a single foe wielding freaking 4 lightsabers at once. Yes you may train to defend yourself against multiple opponents or people dual wielding but that's vastly inferior to a single foe using 4 lightsabers as Grievous could just keep you busy defending yourself against two of his blades while he finishes you off with the other two. Especially since Grievous didn't really use any sword technique so far i know he just wielded them wildly it's quite the meme that Doku was his master in lightsaber combat with his helicopter-lightsaber-spin attacks for a reason. Overall while i liked Grievous i always thought the reason he was so strong was a little.. 'cheap' take away 3 of his arms and i bet you that a lot less Jedi would be worried about him, but oh well benefits of a droid body i suppose. I'm frankly surprised Grievous never crossed the idea of adding two more arms lol

[@kitfisto1827]

Master Windu was a coward. Did you see him just waving his light saber around while I was battling Sidious? It's not a lollipop, Mace.

[@FriendlyBatDoom]

???

[@Adam-lw9xp]

I think he should have feared Obi-Won as well. Most Jedi would have been lucky to survive one encounter with Grevious, let alone multiple encounters and ultimately defeat him. Obi-Won did that throughout the Clone Wars, survived multiple encounters and ultimately defeated him.

[@JoniukasVader]

First I am not!

[@CosmicDominator]

I would love to see grevious meet sidious

[@johnnyagregaard5873]

I wonder what if General Grievous switch sides

[@dubioushumor9243]

Why would he fear anyone? With all the running from people he did during the clone wars, I’m starting to think he found all of those lightsabers

[@florianstraub72]

Imagine having to run from obi-wan THE master of stile 3 or the chosen one, isnt actually that shamefull. If he is beaten tacticly by the most regarded generals, that is nothing to be ashamed of, that he makes a copetion to realy good jedi generals in combat as well as in tatics, its clear how he got those lightsaber. We see him rearly fight people who arent op in there own right, but when we see he kills them (at least from what i remember), And even Obi-Wan had is problems fighting him, not like he was hoplessly outmatched in physical combat.

[@CerbeRawr]

and something else from what the other guy said, Grievous under George Lucas was a coward, but in the clone wars serie... that has been decanonised, sadly... we see him beating the hell out of... 5 jedis if i remember well, including two jedi masters, single-handedly

[@paulkaufmann6546]

I feel like the only people that could beat him in 1v1 without the force, are Yoda and Dooku. Yoda because of his acrobatic style , his small apearence, and his hundreds of years training, and Dooku, because he knew Grievous better then anyone (though I would not say its certain Dooku would win)

[@stevenmayer8528]

Yet I remember when Mace and Yoda said that they believe the only one who could beat Geriovus in combat was Obi-Wan.

[@archwankanobi5627]

Yoda is in every "Who the feared?" Star Wars vid

[@acuman99.9]

I wonder how pong Krell would stand up. He's got a lot of the same advantages but he is force-sensitive

[@valkorian3172]

Predor Tul'kar, Valkorian, Darth Nihilus, Tulak Hord, Exar Kun.

[@kobewankenobi7491]

First of all mace fought grievous and almost killed him giving him that cough mace used shatter point on his chest he told obi wan how to Beat grievous and Obi wan kenobis defensive style was tailor made to take down the general so regardless of his feelings about certain Jedi beating him he had to realize the most disciplined Jedi in the order wouldn’t be overwhelmed by his onslaught especially his multi armed attacks which was based on a Jedi light saber training module because they were trained to deal with him so the Jedi who succumbed to the general really succumbed to their fear and forgot their training which in my opinion makes grievouss abilities more based in intimidation which i remember from The dark Horse comics dooku really rubbed it in his face that the best of the best would destroy him Easily if he didn’t attack them psychologically and keep them off balanced and as long as he didn’t fight Too Many Jedi at a time He wouldn’t be ripped apart by force abilities

[@benjaminjones2130]

Can u make a video of darth nithlus and confirm if he had a sith master or did he become the sith by himself and did he have an apprentice like most sith lords.

[@renektonudyrftw5156]

darth nihilus's master was kreia, well she was known as Darth Treya when she was nihilus's master, Darth Nihilus was also her padawan at the same time as Darth Sion. As for your 2nd question yes he did have an apprentice,She wasknown as Visa Mar, and she was the only apprentice that could even stand in his pressence and not b devoured, but yeah if hes ur fav i recomend Kotor 1 and 2 aka Knights of the old republic

[@JamesJones-mt9co]

Ask for count dooku his style was makashi which focus on blade to blade 101 lightsaber combat and for most people general agreements would have no problem against them but because count dooku was so meticulous in mastering lightsaber combat but especially form two I will have to say the only other person who I think that could beat count dooku and with form to apart from Darth Vader is Jedi Jedi Master shock Ti

[@user-nw5rc2ek5p]

Nobody feared Valkorion at first either. We all know how they ended up. Instead of burning like bacon, they were noped out and eaten out of existence.

[@tsunamitidewaves911]

Obi wan: am I a joke to you

[@jsmitty2047]

Lol Windu would absolutely annihilate Grievous…anyone that thinks otherwise is foolish. People think all Mace had was Vapaad. Mace went toe to toe with Yoda on a regular basis…Mace would use the force as well as simply bury Grievous with a lightsaber

[@finlayames6216]

In legends they actually fought and was a close fight that either could win. Windu backed off though cause he noticed that grevious was starting to use vapad style moves and didn’t want to teach him more and make grevious more dangerous if windu couldn’t beat him there and then

[@schlime1167]

Anyone else think Grievous could've ended up like the number vader did to that transporter at any second?

[@jaredbanister6880]

No, Dooku told General Grievous the two Jedi he was not allowed to fight were Yoda and Mace because he'd certainly be defeated. Through two legends stories this is proven true as in both cases Mace defeats Grievous with the force easily causing Grievous to run away with his iconic cough he suffered from his injuries.

[@Mrgolden1174]

There are actually 6 that Jedi beat him in a 1 on 1. But Kenobi was the only one to kill him.

[@PROPAROXITONO]

he should fear the wind. with his health, any cold could be fatal...

[@SoundWaveSam]

Only means one. It means no one or nothing more besides; solely or exclusively. You can't have ' Only 3'

[@jaredlucev2705]

You think Dooku had a kill switch for Greivous?

[@generalzod7959]

Grievous feared me too.

[@straycat1674]

Obviously Obiwan should have been included in this list. But the threat you do not know to fear is the one that will get you!

[@JamesJones-mt9co]

For count dooku to tell him that at the beginning of the war that only Yoda could defeat him that was extremely accurate towards the end even the Jedi council had improved drastically in power despite their stupidity next besides Yoda general should have feared Obi-Wan and Jedi master Kit Fisto. We all know what Obi-Wan is known for a perfect defense and when people fail to understand what Obi-Wan he combines his power with four cents which allows him to accurately predict where the next lightsaber attack will be but what people feel to understand what Jedi Master could fisto his style focuses on attacking multiple opponents and by combining she told with form 6 both Niaman and Jarkai Jedi Master couldn't pistol was actually a better opponent in my mind then Master Obi-Wan you see Obi-Wan has to wait until previous makes a mistake and make him pay but Jedi Master kit fisto can force him to make a mistake and that is what he should have been mindful of general agree we should have realized that any person who Masters form three one and six can easily beat him if they have a high enough Force attunement. So general grievous was very arrogant
