General Grievous

General Grievous, born as Qymaen jai Sheelal, is an iconic character in Star Wars who made his on-screen debut in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, even though his first appearance was in the 2004 animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars. Born on the planet Kalee, Grievous became a warlord and was later transformed into a Cyborg by the Intergalactic Banking Clan; his body was modified with multiple arms, vastly improved reflexes and heightened strength. He was trained in the Jedi arts by Sith Lord Count Dooku and became the Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies during The Clone Wars.

Grievous was known for his ruthless and brutal tactics during battle, and his unique fighting style was formidable. With the capacity to spin several lightsabers at high speed, he posed a significant challenge to many Jedi. In addition, he had an eerie hobby of collecting the lightsabers of Jedi he had defeated. However, despite his prowess in battle, Grievous had a deep-seated fear of The Force.

Part of his intimidation factor was his appearance - a frightening mix of alien and machine. With his towering presence, nightmaresome mask, and glowing yellow eyes, he represented the perfect villain image. His nonhuman, mechanical voice, produced by actor Matthew Wood, added to his daunting persona.

General Grievous's character arc reached its climax during the Battle of Utapau, where he faced Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Despite his fearsome abilities and relentless aggression, he was ultimately defeated by Kenobi - a testament to the Jedi's reputation as one of the greatest military tacticians and duelists in the galaxy.

While General Grievous is often remembered as a ruthless villain, his story is also a tragic one. He was initially a warrior fighting to protect his homeworld, but after a series of manipulations and deceptive machinations from the Sith, he became a tool in their quest for galactic dominance. Despite his villainous role, General Grievous remains an iconic and fascinating character in the Star Wars universe.

22. - (22 BBY) Clone Wars S1E11 / General Grevious - Age of Resitance Comic
"Yes I agree with that yeah because I was fantastic yeah it was because I was sitting there thinking about it and I was like where do we leave off because the last episode before this we talked about was Grievous's lair which Doku I guess technically was in the previous episode before that where we actually see him flying off in the solar sailor and then I think he gets shot in that episode and he crash lands or he it shows him crash landing in this yeah I thought that the using the Anakin thing for Bay and then Obi-Wan coming in was pretty good when they all three kind of crashed on the same planet."

Like, like, you're trying to command everything, everything, everything under the sun, or not everything under the sun, everything under all the suns. Like, you're trying to control everything. You're trying to pull the biggest, the biggest, the biggest, what am I looking for? The biggest"
