My Thoughts During RotS [SPOILERS]

[Wolf72]

ooh another question,

Palpy/Sidious: was he Darth Plague's (whatever his name was) student? I'm guessing he killed him b/c it was a step up in power.

Do you think it was Darth Plague that helped create the vergance in the force (or set the plan into motion) to create an ultimate sith ... and have that person be his new apprentice (well then Palpy thought "hey, that means I've gotta go ... you first boss")

Sideous was indeed Darth Plagus' apprentice according to Labrynth of Evil.

 

[Nuclear Platypus]

True, but I guess my surprise comes not from the fact that he lives up to his character as described by Windu, but that anyone would willingly follow such a complete coward into battle, knowing he won't be there to see the thing through when it gets sticky.

Happened all the time with Cobra Commander, the leader of a 'ruthless terrorist organization'.

Odd how much of a bad mamma jamma they made Grievous in Clone Wars.

 

[Orius]

Ok, here's one for you then.

Anakin: "Yes, someone close, someone I care for."

Yoda: "Attachment leads to the Dark Side, do not mourn those we lose, do not miss them."

Later on...

Yoda: "Miss you, I will, Chewbacca."




I loved the movie, btw, that line just confused me a bit.

Maybe Yoda had just read those New Jedi Order books... *ducks*

My theory is this: George let the writers of Clone Wars see Greivous' character design, abilities, and know that he's the military commander of the Sepratists.

He didn't let them read the script of Episode III.

Demiurge out.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Well, everytime we see Greivous before Sith, he's up against the second tier Jedi. Those lightsabers he has aren't from Masters. He's good...but definitely a coward when up against more than he knows he can handle.

i.e. Anakin and Obi-Wan

And on the note of Yoda's "miss you I will" to Chewie...that's a completely different thing than missing someone AFTER DEATH. He's telling Anakin to let go of people and accept that death is a natural part of life. To Chewie, he's just saying goodbye, not telling him he's dead.

 

[Ibram]

I was distracted for a moment when Bail Organa arrived at the temple, was that Jedi with him or did he come from behind the troopers trying to escape?

all in all, a good time.

that jedi was trying to escape...

FYI that was Lucas' son, or so i heard

 

[Nuclear Platypus]

I don't think he let anyone read the script, not all of it anyways, and splices it all at the end.

I dunno. I think Lucas was trying to write himself out of a corner *cough* Boba Fett *cough*

Three of the 5 Jedi Grievous fought (at 1 time) were Masters (Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura), not that it proves how skilled they were, tho holding all of them off at once without the benefit of the Force? While him chasing down Shaak-Ti at the end of Clone Wars was definitely cat n mouse, his brief encounter with Mace Windu resulted in getting his chassis / chest Force crushed as a parting gift which might explain any fear of him.

But like Darth Maul before him, Grievous was something of a waste.

 

[Darrin Drader]

I must be the only person around here who really dug Grievous. Even the fact that he was always bravely running away had a certain charm.

Nope. I'm a fan. I dig the fact that there's a creature inside, when it seemed like a droid. It's sort of foreshadowing of Darth.

And, neither here nor there, it reminded of a new season Dr. Who (one of the very few Dr. Who's I've seen) in which it was revealed (perhaps not a relevation to others) that Dahloks are not robots -- there's a little, withered, deformed, genetically engineered evil dude in each one.
