Script:
Our beloved general first hit the big screen on 19th May 2005 with is unique character and evil persona, he was instantly a hit. General Grievous is shown in his first scene to be both competent and highly dangerous. A jedi killer with a strategic if not devious mind. He was able to go toe to toe with Obi-Wan at its height in Revenge of the Sith and has an iconic look. He has appeared to beloved Star Wars shows and I wanted to compare him in these two popular appearances. General Grievous appears in both the 2003 Clones Wars and the newer animated Clone Wars Series. But they are very different version of the same character. Cause fans to be a bit unhappy with the character.
First, we need to establish the character of General Grievous, his traits, his character. The best way to do that is to look at the character from Revenge of the Sith and what George Lucas intended him to be.
General Grievous is shown in his first big screen appearance to be both competent and highly dangerous. A jedi killer with a strategic if not devious mind.
So, his main features are:
• Competent
• Highly Dangerous
• Strategic/ Devious Mind
His Flaws are:
• He likes to toy with his prey
• Gloating
George Lucas wanted the general to look “like Death” and “Has to Look Scary.” These were his two requirements. Now both 2003 Clone Wars and TCW do that visually, but do they translate that to the way he acts. He needs to scary you with his actions and you need to feel your death is coming when he is in the room. So, let’s add those to the list:
• Scary and Death like
Now let’s look a 2003 Clone Wars and see if that Grievous matches our features.
• Competent -Tick
• Highly Dangerous -Tick
• Strategic/ Devious Mind – Some what
• Scary and Death like - Tick
• His Flaws are:
• He likes to toy with his prey -Tick
• Gloating -Tick
Grievous in 2003 Clone Wars is a beast there is no other way to put it. Do I think he is too strong? Yes, but everything in this show is ramped up pretty extremely. But apart from power level 2003 Clone Wars Accurately shows what the general should be.
He is competent in his missions like abducting the Chancellor and he is able to eliminate Jedi who are the main obstacle to him being successful.
We only get chance to see his strategic mind in combat as he using any means to achieve his goal.
Is he scary? Yes I would not want him after me. Look at the protection the Chancellor had and he still managed to capture him.
They also keep Grievous’ flaws like his gloating and playing with his prey. So, in short this portrayal of Grievous is very accurate. On the other hand the other Grievous is a different story.
TCW
• Competent -No
• Highly Dangerous – Rarely
• Strategic/ Devious Mind - Sometimes
• Scary and Death like - No
• His Flaws are:
• He likes to toy with his prey -Tick
• Gloating -Tick

In TCW Grievous only appears with an substance in 15 episodes. 11 and half of those episodes he is incompetent, always running away, losing and saying ‘our get you next time.’ He is a bit of a joke in some of his scenes. Like in Bound for Rescue and A Necessary Bond Grievous is unable to kill any of the jedi when he is faced against four younglings and Ahsoka. Now you could say that the show didn’t want to kill children in a children’s show (Clip of Anakin killing younglings.) but then why write it that way. All of them got away alive somehow. This next one there is no defence for. Him loosing to lesser fighters and struggling with clones and Gungans. He should destroy clones like they are nothing. As for the Gungans he only manages to kill a few before being beaten. You could say he is heavily out numbered yes but they attack one at a time and he still loses. There are plenty and I mean plenty of other examples of Grievous being portrayed badly but let’s move on to the times when I feel he is done right.
In 3 and a half of the episodes I feel they show Grievous in a positive light. Grievous Intrigue This episode is not with out flaws but the way Grievous captures Koth, toys with him, addresses the Jedi Council mocking them is the General I want to see.
