Talk:Grievous/Legends

Why?
Why did Palpatine not give Vader a body like Greivous? I mean Grevious seems to be a much better fighter and he is not even force sensitve. Sure Vader would have to be cut up more but it would be for the better good 9or evil ;)
 * Please don't fill the talk page with useless topics--Herbsewell 10:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Because Vader was around in 1977, before advanced computer animation. Rain Thalo 21:17, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

if grevious is better than vaders how come grevious is the older version and vaders is the newer version. the driod implants that were on grevious, properly did not work on vaders because they are different species.--Serg arty 22:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * First, if you're going to ask a question, improve your grammar and make it coherent. Second, there's a real-world time issue that you're missing here.  When Vader was created and filmed (in the 70s and 80s) the kind of special effects technology needed to make cool-looking cyborgs like Grievous didn't exist.  Technology has obviously advanced since then, and it was taken advantage of to make a character like Grievous appear on-screen. Rain Thalo 00:47, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Why??
Why was the FA status removed? Citations were provided for most of it, the POV was trimmed, and I don't see what was wrong with the images. Unit 8311 12:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Name
If we renamed "Darth Vader" "Anakin Skywalker," and the title for the Emperor's article is "Palpatine," why isn't this "Qymaen Jai Sheelal" instead of "Grievous?" Palpatine would only call himself Sidious in front of other force-sensitive for the most part, Grevious took to calling himself Grevious everywhere, so it can saftly be said he changed his name. Destroyer Droid 23:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Grievous was his latest and final name. Vader ceased being Vader when he threw Palpy into the reactor and "Emperor" is a title. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 21:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * But Palpatine was not his last name. He was never redeemed. He was Darth Sidious.
 * True, but most people in the Galaxy didn't know he was a Sith. Palpatine was what he was known as. Green Tentacle (Talk) 22:30, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Last words?
Which should be considered Grievous's last words: the last ones he spoke in the film--i.e. army or not, you must realise you are doomed! or something like that--or the last ones in the novel version, i.e. just what?? Unit 8311 09:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If you're asking about this only to put it in the article, let me stop you ahead of time. Having one's last words in an article is pointless, unless it's a good quote like Thrawn's last words. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) (Record of Imperial Service) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 11:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * All depends on the quote. If it were the "Army or not, you are doomed" quote, that's funny and ironic, because, well, Kenobi wasn't doomed; Grievous was. That's worth putting in. If it were just "What?" or just those groans that he made before he blew up, that's less interesting. Erik Pflueger [[Image:Republic_Emblem.svg|20px]] 15:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Grievous/Honoghr
I was reading Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, on page 279, one of Dooku's monitors shows "...a panning shot of the devastation on Honoghr, six months after the toxic catastrophe there--part of General Grievous's proposal to step up use of bioweapons in the Outer Rim campaigns..."


 * I haven't seen anything on Wookieepedia about this in the Grievous, or Battle of Honoghr pages. GMo &gt;:M:&lt; 05:33, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Blocking Blasterfire
I fon't think we should use Battlefront II as a source regarding his ability to block blaster shots, in Battlefront II the ability to deflect those shots were shared by all light-saber weilding characters, if the game developers shoved a lightsaber into Jango's hands, he'd be deflecting shots too. Furthermore, I don't think the battlefront games are a good source over what a characters abilites are. Destroyer Droid 23:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Regardless, he could deflect blaster bolts, and it should be mentioned. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I just think it's a very faulty source. Destroyer Droid 01:01, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Point worth noting: The ability to control the force seems to defined by the level of midichlorians in the bloodstream. An infinities source (The Eyes of Revolution) has Dooku mentioning a blood transfusion from Sifo-Dyas to Grievous, noted in the main image on Sifo-Dyas' page. Would he then be able to control the force? I know this is all non-canon, but could it be possible? Another interesting question, would Anakin's drop in ability then be explained by losing so much blood on Mustafar, and then having less blood, more machine in him? Micah Giett 01:16, 22 July 2007 (UTC) Huh? I thought Grevious lost his connectivity to the force when he became a droid, or at least the few organic body parts he still had couldn't allow him to predict anything like blasters. Destroyer Droid 03:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You know, that's a very good theory, Micah. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 12:54, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * He would still most likely need at least a small amount of blood to keep his organs alive (which he still had). That blood, had it been transfused from Sifo-Dyas, would contain midi-chlorians. Micah Giett 15:51, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a bit similar to the case of the Iron Knights. They were simply crystals in droid bodies, yet they possessed the power to use the Force. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 17:53, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

erm... I knew he had blood in the organs, I was just saying that I found it unlikly that that's what made him force-sensitive, or being able to block blasters at the least. Destroyer Droid 04:25, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Previously you asked if he lost his force sensitivity when he became a droid. What source do you have that he was force-sensitive before? Micah Giett 19:26, 28 July 2007 (UTC)C

Force-Sensitive as in having a connection to the force, and yes, I realize that's not the traditional use of the term, but it's how I use it. Destroyer Droid 20:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's best for you to use it how everyone else does, to avoid further confusion. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 22:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Eh... I might as well. Destroyer Droid 01:26, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Anakin did lose some of his skill do to his loss of limbs on Mustafar (stated as much in Dark Lord).  Chack Jadson  Talk 17:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

He lost skill due to the fact he couldn't channel the force as easily through mechanical limbs. What? Did you think there were droid jedi running around? Destroyer Droid 20:48, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure he was referring to the "Force-sensitivity is in the blood" theory. And besides, there are droid Jedi&mdash;the Iron Knights. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 21:48, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I was Jack, thanks. Also I believe it was NEGtC that stated Vader could not command force lightning due to the fact that it required flesh and blood arms. But he did suffer a loss in over all force power and I think this is because there was less blood in less flesh containing less midi-chlorians.Micah Giett 23:04, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I was referring to Chack there, though. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 00:00, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * My bad, but my point stands. Micah Giett 21:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Just note: being able to use the Force is not a resultant from the number of midichlorians one has. It's instead a result of training.  Midichlorians are just a prerequisite.  And, also, it is stated that Dooku's experiment (the tranfusion of Sifo-Diyas's blood, or at least I think that's who it belonged to) was a failure, again noting that having midichlorians does not guarantee Force sensitivity.  And Vader physically could not use Force Lightning, if not because of a lack of skill, moreover because we saw what Palpatine's Force Lightning did to the mechanics in his suit.  He would have been self-destructing if he tried.  Jhbartlett 02:27, 23 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Even a Padawan could block blaster bolts- he couldn't direct them though. Besides, it's all about technique, not prediction for blaster bolts.- StarWarjacker 08:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Jedi Kills List
I removed the Jeid Kills section per the Inq page. If anyone objects, or has a suggestion about how to incorporate it into the article, please post it here.  Chack Jadson  Talk 19:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I suppose a "Category:Jedi killed by Grievous" wouldn't be a good idea... ;) &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:15, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see this as a good idea. People using this wiki might want to know what Jedi Grievous killed, so I say put the list back in. A category would just be a waste of space...Unit 8311 07:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Just to let you know, that thing about a category was a joke. Also, I don't like the idea of a list, either. Keeping it might give someone the idea of putting a similar list on the Anakin Skywalker article. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 12:43, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, to be as encylopeadic as possible, I think we should have a list of Grievous's victims in some shape or form. Compressing it to a paragraph would just be a mess, so I think a list is our best bet, or maybe a table, like the Grievous article on Wikipedia. Of course, if somebody has a better alternative, I'd be happy to hear it. Unit 8311 12:50, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Encyclopedias don't have lists of the victims of people. A list is a bad idea. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 21:16, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I included a few of the Jedi he killed in Talents and Abiliites. I guess you could add about four or five more there. And a category certainly wouldn't work.  Chack Jadson  Talk 21:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Can't you two take a joke? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 21:31, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * My comment was made in jest by the way. Sorry for the misunderstanding.  Chack Jadson  Talk 21:38, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't recall a "Jedi killed by Darth Vader" or a "Jedi killed by their clone troopers", so I see no reason to have a "jedi killed by Grevious". At best we could have "Grevious takes great pleasure in killing Jedi and enjoys taking their lightsabers as trophies". Destroyer Droid 01:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC) Sorry, I have found it: Jmmaar, a Viraanntesse. Wow! Anyway, a separate list of Grievous's lightsaber collection would still be good...Domlith 14:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * For my part, I miss the section. It was good to see them "collected", not to mention that it would illustrate Grievous's collector attitude - remember, he collected the lightsabers, not the Jedi. A separate list would be equally good. And there are other details, e.g. which 4 lightsabers did he wield against Obi-Wan? It was here in the article a few months ago, and then disappeared? Was there no source? (And anyway I can't find that insectoid Jedi whose green saber was among the four, he was named here at least). Domlith 14:13, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Grievous and retreating from battle.
"Some said that Grievous was also a coward, as he frequently ran when he was losing a battle."

Is that really the case?

General Grievous was a high ranking official in the CIS, and one of their most brilliant and important people. Like Count Dooku, the Confederacy couldn't afford to lose him. On Dooku's page and a few others like Windu (i believe), it makes reference to the fact that had Dooku been captured or killed on Geonosis, then the war very much could have ended and the CIS with it before either took off.

Once the war was in full swing, Dooku became somewhat less important because he was no longer the sole life line of the CIS so to speak, but he was still a major player for them. And once he was killed, while the war would continue, thou with Grievous now being the main man, Dooku's loss was still a huge blow to the CIS war effort.

Look at Grievous's death, the CIS fell shortly after his death. Although Grievous was not the direct cause of the CIS's death, he was the last great leader the CIS had to offer. Without him, the CIS had nobody to lead the armies anymore, but the Separatist Council. So with or without the actions of Vader, the CIS would probably fallen sooner or later without Grievous anyway because they didn't have any great people left.

In fact I think his death was the biggest cause of the CIS's demise aside from Vader. The Republic knew the war would much likely end with the death of Grievous.

You are right he knew he would be the cause of the seperatist downfall if he died.(Darth Caedus).

Look at WW2 for another example. During the war in Africa, the British tried to capture or kill Erwin Rommel. Without Rommel, the Axis would have fallen in Africa much sooner then they did, because Rommel was their top guy. Grievous's role in the CIS was much the same. He like Dooku and others couldn't afford to fall.

He was right to retreat from battle when losing, should he have continued to fight, he ran the risk of dying and therefor compromise the entire CIS war effort. But does all of that make him a coward?

I believe that i make a valid point. What does everyone else think?

I believe this argument should be taken into consideration for being added to Grievous's page for neutrality and depth.

 * I agree with this guy. Grevious was clearly not a coward.  He knew when the time was to beat a retreat, but that's a quality of any good military leader.  You may as well call Luke a coward for running away from Vader.  Also, surely we can come up with a better leading quote? He must have said something a bit more interesting than that at some point. Coming Second 23:52, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Some people IU called him a coward though. Mace, and Palpatine, I believe.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 20:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

It's true that Mace Windu called him a coward when talking to Palpatine. However, Palpatine merely said he escaped.

But, I would say that the point should be made that: 1) Windu was understandably frustrated that they had not yet succeeded in capturing such a tactically-minded enemy, and 2) Windu's personal style was to fight to the death, rather than retreat or be captured, as in Episode II, to Dooku: "We will not be prisoners to be bartered!"

So I would say that he only called Grievous a coward out of a conflicting style, and that doesn't really make him one. Jhbartlett 02:34, 23 February 2008 (UTC)


 * How long does it take for something to be done and made official? I added my argument once before, but somebody took it off. How long does it take to make it official so that it won't get taken off? This isn't Congress people! 68.56.20.30 00:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I believe the mandalorians would call it a strategic disappearance. 72.145.255.122 19:00, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

There is a fine line between a tactical retreat and cowardice, during the Battle of Coruscant, it appeared necessary. Grievous had his captive and was beating a hasty retreat. But aboard the invisible hand, the situation was different. Grievous selfishly denied escape to all the organic crewmen for his own survival. Even during the battle of Utapau he explicitly fled from the battle in an [failed] attempt to escape in his Belbullab-22. User:Elshnait 16:42, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Using the Force?
In the comic book "General Grievous", he gestures with his hand and crushes a Jedi with a vat of molten metal. Since the blood transfusion with Sifo-Dyas failed and he has no other connection to the force this could be a breach of canon. Is it?

StarWarjacker 07:49, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Force-sensitive?
Is he a force-sensitive or does lightsaber skills just come from his robotic body?
 * He's not Force-sensitive.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 01:04, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Jedi Killer persona

 * Grievous became almost obsessed with killing Jedi and succeeded in killing many of them. As this is an important part of his personality, I think that we should put something on this in the "Personality and traits" section, to discuss this in greater depth than is done in the article at the moment, and to state the various Jedi that he killed --80.42.122.174 19:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Contradictions
"In Episode III, Grievous uses four lightsabers, two of which were the same hilt design as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, even though they still possessed theirs."

I don't think that's a contradiction worth noting. There were thousands of Jedi in the old republic and Grievous had killed many. Surely some lightsabers looked similar.208.101.133.171 14:42, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Or maybe Lucas got lazy and figured nobody would notice if they used sabers that had already been made. Darth Endis 09:49, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Jedi had their lightsabers mass produced. Only the first lightsaber was required to be constructed from hand. Per the other responder, I'm sure he cam across hilts exactly like Obi-Wan and Anakin's. O-ChampionOfTheForce-o 03:31, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Possible RotJ Reference
I've recently discovered a curious similarity to Grievous' "Earpieces" and the strange flanges on the back of the Ubrikkian land skiff, the kind seen in Return of the Jedi. Is this a possible gag or refencence to RotJ or is it a complete coincidence? Has anyone else noticed this? Elshnair 19:03 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Question
When did Palpatine use a mind trick on Grievous and why?--Rawdeal 15:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

This is funny
I found this on the Target Clone Wars red regiment page.

Droid General

A highly skilled warlord from planet Kalee, General Grievous always wanted to be a Jedi but lacked the requisite Force sensitivity. Realizing that his powers would never equal a Jedi's, Grievous vowed to destroy the Order. The first step in his diabolical plot was to undergo a series of surgical procedures that replaced his body parts with robotic appendages that give him superhuman strength and agility. Now, countless procedures later, Grievous lives as a man trapped inside a machine's body, but his powers finally rival those of a Jedi Knight. Ruthless and premeditatedly cruel, Grievous takes joy only when inflicting suffering upon others, even if that person or droid is his ostensible ally. Third in command of the Separatist forces, Grievous answers only to Dooku, who in turn answers only to Sidious.

Just thought this was funny and might be worth mentioning under a trivia section. They also say Asajj isn't known about to Sidious.-Proconix 18:02, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Proconix Hilarious huh? Hehehe!-Proconix 22:46, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Proconix

Hopefully this information won't be in the actual series, but it's unfortunately very likely that it will due to the The Lair of General Grievous explaining Grievous' backstory. Or so I've heard. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 01:25, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh !@#$ it can't! its gotta be a typo, they said they were respecting EU, they said! ~ Dr.Kermit 01:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So they're going to override several previous works?  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 21:05, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It just has to do with Grievous getting Sifo-Dyas's blood in a transfusion, and not getting his force powers afterwards. Nothing more, and nothing less.--Rune Haako 22:11, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Still, even if that's it, it sounds like an idea written by a five year old. Not that the movie seemed any different. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:49, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you sure Rune Hakko? Where did you find that info? I'm not doubting you of course, I just want to see this blessed truth with my own eyes. Dr.Kermit ( Babble here ) 00:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

LOL I've read that crap to,almost like Lucas put it out like a joke.In fact I remember an old rumor.Want to hear it?Yes you do."Grievous was MADE from dead clone trooper body parts,then the rest was built with IG-100 Droid parts."Pretty funny.Sith-venator 00:35, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Did grievous know about palpatine?
I believe grievous did not know that palpatine was the sith lord in episode 3, because he left palpatine to die on the ship and calls him lord sidious. But i have been told that grievous did know. What do others think?


 * I read in Revenge of the Sith: The Visual Dictionary that Grievous diden't know that Palpatine and Sidious was the same person and that he [Grievous] diden't understand why he wasen't allowed to kill Palpatine.Jacce 05:57, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I too believe that he didn't know about Palpatine's full role in the Clone Wars, but, judging from his conversations with the afore-mentioned Sith Lord, I'd say he didn't. Mathos Rin 06:02, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * He did not know.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 21:45, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Red lightsabers
Since he allied himself with the Sith, why didn't Dooku give him Synth-crystals to show that he was truly an enemy of the Jedi? After all, it must be confusing on whose side he was on by the colors of the blades he wielded. 72.209.10.107 02:07, 12 September 2008 (UTC) Plus it's common myth that Sith HAVE TO use red sabers and that Jedi HAVE TO use other colored sabers.O-ChampionOfTheForce-o 03:33, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Grievous took lightsabers from Jedi he killed and he wanted his enemies to know it. I doubt most would recognize them as much with red blades. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:26, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think Grievous really was a sith he had no force powers.Darth exelton[[Image:Republic Emblem.svg | 20px | ]](talk) 03:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Event
Hey what is the event called when he got injured by a shuttle incident and rebuilt as a robot? Is it the Shuttle Crash Incident?(Mr Levinson 01:19, 23 September 2008 (UTC))

Palpatine used a Mind trick on Grievous?
I read towards the end of the war Palpatine used a mind trick on grievous,but when and why exactly?--71.75.175.243 01:48, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Where'd you read this?  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 01:50, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * In the RotS novel, Palpatine uses a mind trick on Greivous while acting as a prisoner. I forget the exact reason, but it was to prevent Greivous from doing anything stupid to him or something. --Danik Kreldin 22:53, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Number of Fingers
In the movie he had six fingers on each hand (when his arms were unseperated) and it appears in the older Clone Wars cartoon he had five fingers on each hand and in the new Clone Wars cartoon he has four fingers on each hand.

I'm not sure how many fingers he has in other sources but a note about it should probably appear in the article.Anderson 22:43, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Just to add onto this, he's shown with five fingers in the "General Grievous" Comics. Darth Endis 09:55, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Republic commando

 * There is no mention of his brief participation in the battle of Kashyyyk, which appears in Star Wars: Republic Commando and is mentioned in Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel --Jinzler 20:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll add it soon.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 20:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * There is also some Rep commando stuff about Grievous using Utapau as a base. True Colors reveals that Jaing Skirata had detected his presence there as early as 21 BBY and p.137 of Order 66 reveals that he has continued to use it and Jaing and Kom'rk have continued to monitor him there and got visits there from some of his allies, like the Regent of Garis, and that he kept asking Dooku about when he was going to get all the millions of droids he had been promised. I think this stuff needs adding as well --Jinzler 21:18, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I have added all this stuff --Jinzler 20:52, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Your help is much appreciated.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 21:53, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Name Change
I thought Grievous changed his name when he had to become a cyborg because of a shuttle crash that may have been orchestrated by Dooku. Rain Thalo 21:21, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Vampires!
Please, please tell me that you also see the resemblance between Grievous, and thee classic vampire from Nosferatu. For your convenience in case you don't know what I'm talking about. Count Orlok General Grievious. I propose that we mention this uncanny resemblance, it has been done before.Darth Dar Binks 10:26, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it's a coincidence. The resemblance isn't that great, IMO.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 12:02, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, come on... Pasty white faces, orbed skulls, humped backs, sunken eyes, pointy ears, hell Grievous has two stylized fangs as well.Darth Dar Binks 18:34, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I see no resemblance whatsoever. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:24, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You don't see the likened features I listed? When Grievous made his first appearance in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith he even held his arms in in the same manner as Count Orlok. I don't understand what you mean. How could you not see the resemblance?  Is it because General Grevious is incased in metal?  Please elaborate...06:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I really think you're pushing ti with this one. His face looks more like a rodent's skull than a vampire. Rain Thalo 00:23, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Sigh... I guess I'm alone on this one, I don't know why (maybe it has something to do with what we were raised on movie wise) but the resemblance is uncanny to me. Well I bow to the majority's verdict, and formally withdraw the claim that Star Wars's General Grievous is inspired upon Nosferatu's Count Orlok.   As far as I'm concerned the matter is resolved.Darth Dar Binks 16:37, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

General Grievous
Shouldn't this page be entitled General Grievous? Dcwiki24 03:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC) Exactly. Thus why Ackbar's page isn't ADMIRAL Ackbar. 03:34, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * No. "General" is a title, not a name. The page's should be entitled with their names. Zakor1138 03:18, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

force
did grevious know the force


 * Know of it? Yes. Could he touch it? No.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 20:45, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * he says in Revenge of the Sith that he was "trained in your Jedi arts by Count Dooku." he could not actually use the Force, but he knew how to use a lightsaber, whether by training or implants in his brain or both is unclear. Rain Thalo 00:21, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Spelling
Why is it that nobody can spell his name right? It's G-R-I-E-V-O-U-S. Not that difficult. Rain Thalo 00:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

lol

grievous in Neopets?

 * I found this in Neopets. It's called "Griefer." Is it based on Grievous? I think so. The similarity is most prominent in the head design.-- Batman ( Zakkoroen) The Batcave.Batcomputer. 20:05, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Could be. Neopets was run by Wizards of the Coast, last I checked, which also does the official SW RP games.SinisterSamurai 23:13, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

grievous vs vader
im confused. you talk of "grievouses" and "vaders" as though they were species. i only know of 1 grievous and 1 vader. i could be wrong... Illogic armada 22:49, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
