    General Grievous got smashed to shit by Windu in the Clone Wars thats why he is a bit lame,



    people often talk about who is the most powerful in the Star Wars legacy but this can never be decided as everyone is quite inconsistent however I think that is quite cool

    Saw this movie with Danno3000 - 2 thumbs down. Major caca. Except for the scenes with the wookies. That was hella cool.

    Grievous was actually not a sith and using darth is not appropriate, he was trained in jedi fighting techniques and i think thats about it

    as was said the reason he was easier to beat was mace injured him during the clone war, i was disappointed by how easy mace got his ass kicked

    all nerds keep your head up for the star wars tv show coming soon

    This is very damaging testimony. Very damaging.

    from what i have read it will take place between revenge of the sith and a new hope, every thing else is geek boys fantasies, there will also be a new cartoon series which i think will be made by the people that did clone wars but will be in 3-D

    so wut happens when he gets ready to throw down (SPOILER ALERT FOR YOU STAR WARS HOLD OUTS)???

    obi smiles and proceeds to prune a robot weilding 4 sabers & was trained by dooku(who bested anakin & obi-wan with ONE light saber) in the span of about 2 minutes......then greivous transforms & rolls out...i was like doh! i think i read that i have spielberg to thank for choreographing that fight sequence.

    if that was the only guy standing between the emperor and rest of the federations then palpatine should have stepped his sith game up. seeing as how obi owned grevious AND ANAKIN, i feel its safe to say ani might have been owned by greivous...at least


    geek..out

    yeah, it wasnt Darth Grevious, it was General Grevious. No force powers what so ever.

    mace did have sidious on the chopping block until anakkin got all "i love palpatine" and shit

    hahaha. i see you reading the starwars threads,


    now someone answer my daaamn questions
  • Digger_Phelps_IIDigger_Phelps_II 174 Posts
    i stand pleasantly corrected.. i must admit i was probably thrown by the cool looks (darth maul anyone?) and held high hopes of a character so (possibly) ill that he COLLECTED light sabers...greivous did kick jedi ass on the cartoon though..although he moved with 2 serious soldier/assistant droids......i fell for the okee- doke ...i thought he was about to show and prove like most villians who tell their cronies to "fall back" in order to let them fight 1 on 1....and even with "the force" anakin spent his time killing "younglings and weak ass diplomats (non-harlem type)...he did take out dooku but well dooku was getting up in age (as palpatine even knew seeing as how he was scouting his next starting lineup)..i think greivous-anakin would havebeen more of a match-up

    Say what you will about the first two prequels but the BIG CHORAL MUSIC over Grevious landing his ship and getting out to make a phone call is the most embarassing piece of failing to connect with an audience in all of Star Wars.

    ok, I know this thread is probably dead, but what I need to know is why Yoda claimed that he needed to exile himself after the battle with Palpatine. Was it because a jedi master cant fail? What did he mean by that?

    -k

    PS did anyone catch the Millenium Falcon landing off in the distance in one of the docking bays?
  • Digger_Phelps_IIDigger_Phelps_II 174 Posts
    i say that he put up his best effort and failed..so he knew if he got caught again , fatal asskicking he would recieve,hmmm?

    What about Obi beating Aniken in the end? Did anyone else find that unbelievable? They were just discussing how Ani had bailed Obi out on their last ten missions.

    And why did Obi let him live at the end?

    It's called the "will of the force," dude.


    And why did Obi let him live at the end?

    The Jedi code. By the end of this movie Obi is the only one left who still lives by it.

    It's mostly because Yoda realized the odds were not in his favor and he needed to lay low for a while. All the other Jedi except Obi-Wan had been killed, and powerful as Yoda was, he knew he couldn't take on Vader, Palpatine, and the entire Empire with only Obi-Wan beside him. It was a strategic regrouping, mostly.

    I also think they had to explain how Yoda ended up on Swamp Planet.

    I thought it was great. I felt it made up for my disappointments with 1 & 2. And I was very happy to hear no words from Jar-Jar.
    I also thought the computer generated graphics and scenes were much better integrated than the rest of the series.

    So, is there another live-action Star Wars movie in the works?

    He did say "excuse me" when he got bumped in the group of delegates in the begining. But thatkfully that was it!

    No, Lucas is pretty much done with this stuff. He's letting the upcoming TV series continue telling stories in the SW universe (and it won't be focused on principles--no Skywalkers, no Vaders, etc. except by oblique mention), but he has no plans to continue with the films because, really, there's not much left to tell.



    BTW, how many of y'all saw George's cameo in EPIII?

    That and he's getting old and doesn't think he could complete another trilogy in his lifetime.

    But don't forget: Star Wars in 3D! Or maybe you do want to forget.
