General Grievous is a major antagonist in the Star Wars franchise. He is the supreme commander of the Separatist Droid Army and the archenemy of Obi-Wan Kenobi throughout the Clone Wars. He is an apprentice of Count Dooku and subordinate of Darth Sidious.
He was voiced by Matthew Wood.
His Qualities[]
What Makes Him Entertaining?[]
- He has a good performance by Matthew Wood in both Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars.
- He has a few comedic moments, such as his cough and some of the times he is annoyed at the idiocy of his Battle Droids, while still retaining an intimidating presence.
- Some of his lines like "General Kenobi", "just as Count Dooku predicted" and "You fool! I've been trained in your Jedi arts by Count Dooku" are memetic.
- He has some great fighting skills and can kill Jedi. There are also times when he isn't cowardly, such as when he fights well against the Nightsisters and when he still nearly killed Obi-Wan Kenobi in his last moments when he's out of lightsabers and a means of escape.
- The extended fight in Tales of the Empire, where Grevious fights Selena is considered cool because he dosen't take off his cape or act like a coward Clone Wars often show him as.
- He at least leads his armies on the front lines whenever the situation calls for it.
- In a deleted scene of the Clone Wars he defeated Obi-Wan Kenobi.
- He can be pragmatic at times, such as when he values his pet monster Gor's skills in killing off intruders and was pissed when the Jedi killed him (though not out of any altruism since he gets over Gor's death pretty quickly) and escaped the trap.
What Makes Him Destestable?[]
- He lacks the sympathetic qualities of his Legends counterpart and any redeeming qualities are either pragmatic and/or subverted by the end.
- Plus his Legends counterpart has him as knowing Dooku lied to him while he never betrays Dooku, he shows great disdain for him on a few occasions and he's only in this war for the opportunity to kill Jedi rather than any care for Dooku's politics.
- He has several Kick the Dog Moments:
- Grievous decides to attack medical frigates as a prelude to attacking the whole medical outpost.
- After killing Selena, Morgan Elsbeth's mother, and cruelly mocks her last words to run and sending his droid army to kill her and slaughter the remaining Nightsisters.
- He not only killed many Jedi, not even sparing younglings, but he tortured some of them such as Eeth Koth for no reason other than to make them suffer emotionlessly. He also did not care how many innocents were subjugated and destroyed so long as he achieved his goals.
- He has a few humiliating moments like being bested and captured by Gungans of all people (though to be fair, most Gungans are not like Jar Jar and are great warriors. Plus Grevious did underestimated them).
