SW3: A thought about General Grievious

[frankthedm]

Isn't the Clone Wars cartoon considered "canon" by GL?

Most likely. Larger audience and whatnot. Plus Lucas might not have a lot of love for star wars authors since they cemented the fan base with what happens after episode VI to the point he has to use thier version or destroy the fan base with his own artiste's vision of episodes 7 and beyond.

Either way the movie going audience should have receved at least a shortened Clone wars 'recap' of how Grevious got palpatine & how grevious got injured.

Because the way it stood for the audience at large was:
What is with this sickly Dark Crystal reject doing taking on Jedi?

When it should of been:
Good fighter and has Jedi fleeing from him? This guy is off the wall. Ouch... He is still going after being force crushed? Damn!

It's...unlikely...that he'd've survived a fall after having been cut in half.

Actually, if there is one thing that is true in Star Wars it is people with force powers don't die from falls.

That's one of the most iffy things when it comes to canon, from what I've seen.

Labyrinth of Evil was taken from Lucas' notes and cleared up some important plot points(i.e.

Spoiler

Dooku was the one who placed the order for the Clones and was just using the name Syfo-Dias

). It also follows more closely to the general style of the movies.

At the same time, Lucas definitely approves and enjoys the Clone Wars series. However, they get to run with things more than the book did, and its also way, way more over the top than anything that you'll ever see anywhere else in Star Wars.

So...pick your favorite. Both work, and are only really different in a few points. I prefer Labryinth of Evil due to its better connections to the movie. It leads straight into it, and you even get to follow Shaak Ti and the Jedi tracking down Sidious(and nearly discovering its Palpy). Of course, Clone Wars is just plain fun.

They do after being cut in half.

That would make it...difficult...to save oneself.

He would have lot half his force ability.

looks like Ankh-Morpork Guard pretty much filled in the rest of Grievious's background

Thanks

Who cares about Robo-boy? Somebody spill on this cyborg Mual that was brought up.

You can read about it (and everything else we know about Darth Maul) here: http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Maul

That said, here's the pic:

The story about it is as follows:

Spoiler

The first reappearance of Darth Maul was shortly after Maul's old master—now Emperor Palpatine—had successfully established the Galactic Empire. This Darth Maul still appeared to bear the wounds from his duel with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi on Naboo—only the top half of his body was organic, with his lower half replaced with mechanical legs. This Sith cyborg desired only revenge against the Jedi who had defeated him. For years, he stalked Obi-Wan Kenobi, the one man who had defeated him. Finally, on Tatooine, the barren world where Maul had hunted Jedi before, the battle was met. Darth Maul arrived at the homestead of Owen Lars, where he intended to attack Luke Skywalker in order to lure Obi-Wan Kenobi from hiding. When the battle was almost won against his prey, Maul yet again fell to the lesser of two foes. Owen Lars, defending his step nephew and his property from the battling duo, shot Maul in the head. Darth Maul was dead for the second time.
