Genndy Tartakovsky’s “Star Wars: Clone Wars” served to bridge the hole between “Star Wars: Episode II – Assault of the Clones” and “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.” In doing so, it confirmed off numerous battles throughout the galaxy centered on the Jedi and the Republic’s clones in opposition to the Separatist droid military. It additionally featured the introduction of Basic Grievous, who’s terrifying right here in comparison with his later appearances. He is unsettlingly quiet in his method, stalking his enemies from afar till it is time to strike. As soon as he does so, his imposing body, highly effective limbs, and assortment of lightsabers make quick work of his enemies. He frightens and brutalizes six seasoned Jedi in his first look.
This force-of-nature Grievous was severe nightmare gas for a lot of “Star Wars” followers rising up. “The 2003 model of Basic Grievous terrified me after I was youthful,” admitted Redditor u/Chrome87, with a number of others within the thread commenting on the scare issue of this tackle the character. “I used to be completely dumbfounded, this man was scary. On high of all this, the concept that he collected the sabers of his Jedi conquests was chilling,” mentioned a now-deleted Reddit person in one other thread, with u/DarthNader_ sharing that they’d nightmares about Grievous as a child.
With “Star Wars: Clone Wars” not formally canon, it is cool to see the canonical model of Basic Grievous depicted equally to his first incarnation because of “Star Wars: Tales of the Empire.” Hopefully, this time round he will not scar almost as many “Star Wars”-loving youths as he did a long time in the past.
