I’m back on my Star Wars ish watching the Clone Wars series on Cartoon Network. My favorite character in this series is the depraved Jedi assassin General Grievous.
General Grievous is an advanced cyborg who leads the droid armies of the Trade Confederacy against the Jedi knights and the Republic’s clone armies. Grievous is a super bad ass and after he kills a Jedi he retains their lightsaber as his trophy.
The technology which was used to reconstruct General Grievous would later be employed to keep Darth Vader alive after his deadly battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Even more than Vader however Grievous is a truly cybernetic organism. His limbs and body are totally mechanized. What remained of Grievous living tissue was encased in blaster proof metal.
Grievous can replace his various parts and appendages after they become worn or battle damaged.
I’ve been acquiring the latest Hasbro releases of General Grievous action figures. Some include detachable arms and removable weapons like his blaster rifle or lightsabers.
I don’t think Grievous will attain the cult status that Boba Fett has, but he is an interesting, evil and malevolent character who should play a significant part in the expanded Star Wars universe.
I need to cop the series on DVD. Haven’t been able to watch the series at all, caught the film a while back. Cool. Grevious was cool but I’m still more intrigue with Darth Sidious. I’m more interested in his backstory.
I think George Lucas will continue to make money off SW 10 – 20 after his death. The space soap opera will never stop.
I’ve been geeking over the New Jedi Order series.

george lucas is raping the corpse of the star wars franchise again. he wants to rerelease them all in 3-d and said he was inspired by the movie avatar. if he was really inspired he would make another fucking movie. i want more wookies and ewoks fuck you george lucas. episodes 1-3 he kills off all the good people. darth maul, jango fett and mace windu. by the time you get to the end of episode 3. you already know what was going happen and you don’t really care about whats next. you have seen the next 3 movies already. also fuck you again george lucas for jar jar binks. c-3po, r2-d2 and chewbacca were good supporting characters. jar jar binks should have died exactly 5 minutes after he was introduced.
“jar jar binks should have died exactly 5 minutes after he was introduced. ”
^^^ Funny, yet true. I dig Grievous too. How hardbody is an assassin that knocks off Jedi routinely, and can use 4 light-sabers simultaneously?
