THE GRIEVOUS RESPECT THREAD TO END ALL RESPECT THREADS

"I am not a droid! I am General Grievous"

---

General Grievous was born under the name Qymaen jai Sheelal was a Kaleesh warrior whos people were at a constant war with the insectoid species known as the Huks. After an ship crash engineered by Count Dooku, the Kaleesh warlord was rebuilt by Banking clan member Sam Hill in part with Geonosian Technicians. Reborn as the dreaded Cyborg and granted an army of droids, the reborn general would go on to be an active member in the Clone Wars and would be the author of the Separatist movements war effort.

Thought up by George Lucas and designed by artist Warren J. Fu. The General was to play a supporting antagonist role for the soon to be named Emperor Palpatine in the final Prequel film "Revenge of the Sith" back in 2005. With many citing his first appearance in the Clone wars animated series in 2003.

STRATEGIST

Grievous is repeatedly called a brilliant military strategist

-star wars galactic file




some may chalk grievous' "strategic brilliance" up to his endless waves of droids, and while that may have some truth to it grievous is far more capable than that, mixing and matching strategies accordingly to get the best results which other strategists would regard him as a tactical genius



-essential guide to warfare 2008



- star wars complete encyclopedia 2008



Grievous' tactical skills and effective campaign against the republic has made many in the republic view him as more deadlier then count dooku




-general grievous databank

in fact its noted that rarely did the general have to use his full intelligence when creating a strategy, But when he did the effects were noted to be devastating




-general grievous lord of war


General grievous has strategically spread the jedi and republic forces thin across the galaxy.

"The strategy is working perfectly my lord. the jedi and their forces are stretched thin across the galaxy, in a vein attempt to contain our new offensive"

-Star wars Clone wars 2003

SHAAK TI

Jedi Master Shaak ti comments on his strategy at Hypori was without flaw (00:26)





it should also be noted that shaak ti herself is quite the strategist. being called cunning and part of planning











for another noted master tactician to say Grievous' strategy is without flaw is very high praise indeed

---

ONE MAN ARMY

In fact you can also attribute the entire separatist movements victories and danger to General Grievous himself. having been noted as the reason behind turning the droid army into the powerful foe that it is






-invisible hand databank



-revenge of the sith unleashed figure 2006



-the clone wars campaign guide 2009



-general grievous 2009 action figure

before Grievous the separatist worked poorly and only after the appointment of the general were the droid armies able to do sustained battle or as mace windu puts it "changing the shape of the war" (00:55)




-essential guide to warfare 2012




(00:55)




-the clone wars campaign guide 2009


Grievous has also been noted to embody all the needed qualities to ensure victory for the CIS, placing him above the likes of Sev'rance T'ann, Ventress and Durge



-The Clone wars campaign guide 2009


The Republic began recruiting from able bodied worlds to help assist the Clone troopers. Using propaganda to call Grievous' tactics wasteful and he's cowardly and overconfident when the truth is the Republic higher ups were very afraid of Grievous



-general grievous lord of war

---

EXAMPLE

a few examples of Grievous' strategic efficiency is the taking of the ugnaught planet, while they were a more factory designed world they were not without a military. However within days of landing the have claimed the planet with minimal damage to the factories themselves, which was the target all together





-star wars general grievous 2005

The bombing of the Coruscant generators is another noted example of Grievous' strategic mind at work. dispatching undercover droids to rig and blow up the generators for the planet. causing almost a planet wide black out and cause of mass panic



-star wars the clone wars season 3 episode 10 "heroes on both sides"



-heroes on both sides episode guide


and a personal favorite of mine was the assault of kamino. purposely sacrificing his heavy ships to let their debris fall to the planet under its pull. while this would rain large debris down on the city if any were to hit it would cause crazy amounts of damage, but even more so hidden on the wreckage were Triton drill assault crafts that ventress would repair and use to slip past the blockade and raid the city with. such crafts proved almost vital in assaulting the city since their drills can pierce through and deploy their armies within.




star wars.com triton craft - relationship: general grievous





Then lastly his strategy for the galactic war as a whole. precision lightning strikes and mass advancement to spread the republic forces very thin as they counter this new offensive, which of course is a bait so they can slip past to launch their "final operation" being the attack on Coruscant





-star wars complete encyclopedia 2008

this new offensive has spread their forces so thin that according to windu, any extra help is considered impossible




we get to see a glimpse of this new offensive in OCW with a montage of separatists victories on various worlds including the infamous "droid attack on the wookies"

---

SABOTAGE

Despite Grievous' Strategic mind he wasnt without flaws. while the incompetency of the droids under his command may be one, Im more referring to his sith masters. While Grievous' war effort is vital to the sith plans, they are not the only thing of importance, as such Grievous is often forced to make strategically flawed choices due to the siths greater plan


two such examples being when Grievous captured the chancellor. He notes that they should have left the system hours ago but were forced to remain in combat because Dooku (and Sidious) wish to draw in Anakin and Obi-wan




-revenge of the sith novelization 2005


and another being the capture of Darth Maul, once more the sith masters order Grievous otherwise



-Star Wars Son of Dathomir 2014

Despite his brilliance he ultimately wasnt meant to win in the end but he certainly was a force to be reckoned with and under different circumstances may have won the war

DUELING

GREATEST H2H FIGHTER

-ROTS commentary


In a deleted scene. Grievous while using a staff faces off against kenobi in a massive fight. Gillard describes it "like the darth maul fight but on another level"

Ki adi mundi, likely the most senior and most powerful jedi amongst the group when Shaa'gi claims they cant face him responds with "we must try" in a way conceding and agreeing with the padawan that they in fact cannot face him and come out alive (2:05-2:13)

GREVIOUS VS WINDU

Grievous and windu have crossed paths a handful of times throughout the Clone wars. Only ever engaging in combat a few times. Here i shall show every encounter they have (this is not in chorological order)


in Obsession Greivous attacks the group of Jedi, upon seeing the General Windu orders everyone to regroup immediately



-star wars obsession 2005

after killing Adi, Mace Windu decides to not fight him but instead slam him with a speeder




-star wars obsession 2005

in 19BBY a young boba engages in a fight with master windu





-boba fett: pursuit 2004

I bring this up because in the book prior he suffered injuries from grievous that carried over into his battle with mace. which is mentioned in the last quote but here is a few others






-Star Wars: Boba Fett: Pursuit 2004

his first time encounter with the general, where his magna guards inflicted great injuries on him that made him fake his death before grievous could finish him






-boba fett: a new threat 2004

while I showed only a fraction of the encounter boba was hopelessly outmatched against GG's guards let alone the general himself who grievously (heh   ) injured him as he would go on to beat the crap out of mace.


in Star wars elite Squadron mace windu and Grievous engage in combat. with Mace pleading with X2 that he cant beat Grievous alone




-star wars elite squadron 2009


Grievous’ rival in Obi-Wan can push Mace to the limit and score some wins.

[No Rounds Won] “You’ve tested my skills to the limit, Obi-Wan. Well done.” (Mace Windu)

• “You are one of the most promising young Jedi I have ever seen, Obi-Wan.” (Mace Windu)

• “Need I remind you Master, I’ve beaten you before.” (Obi-Wan Kenobi to Mace Windu)

• “The first time I bested you in a duel was one of the proudest days of my life.” (Obi-Wan Kenobi to Mace Windu)

• “You just might achieve victory.” (Mace Windu)

• “You might be better than Master Windu.” (Ahsoka Tano) Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels

- Star Wars Lightsaber Duels 2008


during the clone wars grievous and mace crossed pathes again. with mace boasting on how he will never win and grievous picking up and pointing out his lack of confidence in his words






there is their duel in LOE. where Greivous using 2 sabers engages with a duel with mace on top of a train. It should be noted that Grievous is hindered both with his feet and use of two sabers while mace has no such hindrances. even then mace notes his strikes are astonishingly fast and as strong as any he's encountered





and of course within the time they faced Grievous almost perfectly replicates Maces trump card fighting style Vaapad with scary amounts of accuracy resulting in mace not wishing to continue to fight




Mathhew Stover, author of the ROTS novel when writing his book after having read all past material of Grievous felt it was believable and plausible that kenobi should be sent over windu cause windu could not beat him (citing LOE)

 

-Matthew Stover, Wampa lair Podcast 2021


and then there is their brief encounter in OCW where Mace opts to not fight Grievous and instead force crush him


[url=

via GIFER

[/url]


However with the OCW force crush there runs a sort of contradiction between that and what happens in LOE. we could say both happened and be done with it but I believe that the depictions of LOE if push came to shove should supersede that of OCW. for starters LOE had a lot of oversight by Lucas as confirmed by the author in a Q&A



and then Sue Rostoni provides her feedback by saying that the events of LOE provide a more accurate, historical perspective of events (unfortunately the link is dead and thus no further info can be obtained)




However you may take these as you will.

GRIEVOUS VS KIT FISTO

The famous battle with Jedi Councillor Kit Fisto from the TCW episode "lair of Grievous" I shall present some evidence that I hope will change your perspective on the fight and its possible outcome

To start I wish to call to attention their first engagement in the halls of his home. There he fights off Kit fisto and his padawan while surrounded by clones. Its noted that it took all they had to repel grievous' assaults and stop his advances meanwhile grievous' own home was hindering his ability to mount a proper offense as the hallows were too narrow. something shown explicitly within the episode itself





after his scrap with the clones and undergoing repairs his doctor notes that he should be resting, which he ignores to go fight the jedi (00:50)





-lair of grievous episode guide

with even the novel of the fight adding some flavor to it with black smoke pouring from Grievous' armor as he leaps to face Kit fisto



as the fight started Kit primarily stuck to hiding in the Fog instead of fighting Grievous outright, using it to his advantage. Like with the walls this is reflected in the episode



-lair of grievous episode guide

[url=

make cartoon GIFs like this at MakeaGif

[/url]

it was only after he gained a second saber did he openly engage in combat. when he had a different advantage (him another saber and grievous one less saber)



-lair of grievous episode guide

however Grievous' entry in Starwars.com tells the opposite




The coming battle on the platform was described as Fierce, heated and an excellent fight, with Fisto needing all his Skills



-kit fisto clone wars figure 2010



jedi master kit explores heart of evil in lair of grievous -sw.com 2008



-grievous encyclopedia-relation kit fisto




it should also be noted that Kit Fisto felt escape was the only option even back when his padawan was Alive, indicating Kit didnt think they could beat Grievous in his Home despite devising a plan before hand.



-the clone wars rewatch: the lair of grievous


For a conclusion, Kit Fisto had a Fierce, Heated and excellent fight with a Grievous still recovering from his injuries while using three sabers against kit using two.


We can also examine some stat cards of their TCW incarnations to gleam some insight on how a normal level fight may play out

GRIEVOUS VS KENOBI TCW

Grievous and Kenobi Faced many times in the Clone wars, almost as many times as Dooku and anakin  

its been stated that they are a battle of equals



-star wars fact file relaunched 69


I plan on examining their fights and skirmishes to conclude who actually was winning from these fights and if it actually was a battle of equals

Ill post a video down below with my comments at various time stamps (first battle begins 1:00)




1. malevolence fight - 1:00 - 1:34

Grievous' brute strength alone is said to be enough to match kenobi's skills



Which seems to be the case seeing as Grievous downs kenobi in one hit, forcing Kenobi to run away. ill award Grievous the win (1-0)

2. fight aboard ship 1:35 - 4:42

a) Grievous lands a kick on kenobi which seems to disoriant him for several seconds. which could've been death had GG not monologued (2-0)

b) Grievous seems to be overpowering kenobi until he decides to TK grievous with a droid. but thats a win for Kenobi (2-1)

c) fight in the tube. not much to conclude unless you want to count the shoulder check as a win (2(3)-1)

3. fight by the pod 4:43 - 5:11

kenobi disarms grievous but kicks him back enough to climb up before kenobi recovers fully. lets call it a tie (2(3)-1 T:1)

4. battle of kamino 5:13 - 6:43

a) Grievous tosses Kenobi around and stops to gloat, seems pretty clear cut win for GG (3(4)-1 T:1)

b) some may choose to count Kenobi's TKing and Grievous running as a win. so be it (3(4)-1(2) T:1)

c) nothing to conclude on the landing platform. results the same (3(4)-1(2) T:1)

5. battle on the venator 6:44 - 8:07

Grievous kicks kenobi back hard enough he clutches his side. the VA for Grievous even noting it



Kenobi even opting to get help from cody and then retreating. if people wish to count GG running as a loss the same should apply for kenobi (3(5)-1(2) t:1)

6. unfinished Episode 8:07 - 9:20

this is pretty easy win for Grievous. not much more to say (4(6) - 1(2) T:1)

7. the battle of Utapau

well we know how this goes so no comments here. win for kenobi (4(6)-2(3) T:1)

however the utapau fight is regarded as epic, explosive and ferocious






In the ROTS game they fight in a cave and Grievous does a kick spin on him and retreats despite kenobi seeming dazed

[url=[url=

make gaming GIFs like this at MakeaGif

[/url]]

and in the comic shows Grievous being able to disarm kenobi



-rots comic 2005

and in battlefront 2 the guide book actually advises you to cheese grievous with saberthrows and to avoid him in saber combat due to how fast and difficult he is



battlefront 2 prima guide 2005


Rob Coleman said in an interview that if grievous actually used all four sabers against kenobi properly he would have been a goner.

GRIEVOUS VS EETH KOTH

not much to break down in this fight unfortunately

is said to inevitably overpower eeth koth. implying that he would have won regardless



-grievous intrigue episode gallery

Eeth Koth was originally going to die until filoni decided he should live. once more implying that GG would have defeated/killed him



Despite Eeths injury (and if not being saved by a clone, almost getting killed by a commando droid) Grievous faced him fair in combat. Only when he used the force did his guards interfere

GRIEVOUS VS VENTRESS & DURGE

Before being appointed to Supreme Commander of the Droid army Grievous had to defeat his "rivals" being Ventress and Durge (he likely would have also had fought sev'rance Tann had she been alive)

to start he gets the drop on both of them, easily batting them around and vanishing into the shadows










TO BE CONTINUED

this is actually an extremely impressive display, allow me to elaborate as to why. note what durge says in the last bubble




he's admitting that he is fast. which normally thats decent praise. HOWEVER, its not the words themselves but rather who they are coming from. Durge has been noted to being able to see jedi move in slow motion to him. jedi like kenobi and skywalker



-star wars obsession 2005

Durge also boasts that he can feel a heartbeat from 200 meters away and how jedi like kenobi cant sneak up on him because of him being a "walking nerve cluster"




and yet general grievous is both admittedly very fast for a guy who sees jedi in slow motion and manages to sneak up on him and down him so easily he calls him pathetic






RESUMING BATTLE

---

this is decent praise again, this time coming from ventress. despite not even fully engaging or knowing what or who GG is she already feels he is more dangerous then a jedi. it should be noted this fight happens after he defeat at the hand of skywalker, who was at the time a nigh equal with her

he pretty much one shots her here. smacking her away with his opening swing










should be pointed out that Grievous handled durge far easier and far faster then OCW kenobi did during their fight on muunilinst

---

here after getting pushed back by an enraged ventress. whom we've seen preform well above her usual pay grade in this sort of state being completely unable to stop an unarmed grievous from grabbing her and choking her out. which is a stomp if ive ever seen one

Needless to say Grievous bested them rather handily with OOU quotes to support the notion. Even being called more powerful then they could imagine

RESPECT THE WARLORD QYMAEN JAI SHEELAL

The Kaleesh named Qymaen Jai Sheelal was born during a generation spanning war against the insectoid species known as the Huks. Growing up knowing only War and Poverty the young Kaleesh by the age of 8 was already an expert sniper and revered as a Demi-god by the age of 22

Qymaen was also the greatest mastermind on the planet and possibly the whole system (seeing how it was all under Huk control)

-legacy of the darkside pre cyborg grievous to general grievous 2010


he along with his partner/rumored lover appeared invincible when together in combat



- the story of general grievous: lord of war 2006

it was this lover that taught him combat with a sword (or at least improved on his skill) and after her death Qymaen launched a revigorated campaign that not only drove the Huks off kalee but off several of their previously conquered worlds and then eventually their entire system and homeworld. killing thousands of Huks

-new essential guide to alien species 2001

It should be noted that the huk worlds that grievous and company drove the huks back to Tovarskl. Which Jason Fry in a online discussion confirmed that Tovarskl is in an entirely different system than Kalee



-The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion

its also worth noting that the huks were a technologically superior foe at the time. the kalee people were primarily using slugthrowers (such as qymaen for much of his life) which is inaccurate and have poor penetration, on top of its ammunition being hard to come by or having to be made by hand.



-unknown soldier: the story of grievous 2006





the fact that grievous with such poor weaponry was able to rack up 40 kills by the age of 8 and be regarded as a expert marksmen with such poor weapons and also go on to wage a war and also turn the tide to have such a utter decimation in their favor that their once oppressors has to run and call the jedi is very telling. its no wonder that the sith masters were eyeing him to be their general for the coming war
