I like how you can tell how the fight will play out just by the number of lightsabers Grievous choses to use. When he met Ahsoka in the early clone wars, he used just 1 because she's unbelievably easy to beat. When he fights her at the end of the show, he uses 2, and here, against a witch, he uses 2. So he's still very confident. Obi wan, he uses all 4 immediately, because he knows he's a challenge.
@Purified_Water_Enjoyer she retreated because she knew she wouldn't win the duel. She ran to the ship and used the ships cannons to shoot him (which he survived anyway). Ahsoka didn't win, to say grievous lost is unfair when Ahsoka ran and cheated by shooting him with 2 giant cannons.
@PulsarPrime You mean when the great general lost his arm to a Padawan? Or The one who lost to the race of Jar Jar Binks Or The one who lost to ventress Or The one who loses his limbs to low skilled jedi Or the one with the most clunky fighting style I've ever seen Or the one where his own droid mocks him for not being a good fighter. Or when he got jumped by clones Although when he boarded kenobis ship that one time...that was pretty badass. My point is that he's a joke, one of the few aspects the animated series did wrong.
After that I am not only more excited for TotE but I am also even more convinced that we need a whole set of episodes like this dedicated to General Grievous. 🔥
You mean, imagine if this wasn't Filoni's Grievous. Because all the other writers seem to know that Grievous is actually a threat. In the Kanan comics, Grievous singlehandedly destroys almost a whole clone battalion.
@@ImperatorCaesar1 Chief Dickhead Filoni self inserted Morgan Fuckbeth from the Mandalorian and Ahsoka into what could've been a decent "mini show." out of the 50 different imperial figures they decide to choose a fucking witch.
fuck 2003 grievous, single most overrated character in the entire franchise. you realize that entire show made every character brain-numbingly overpowered right? and he had no personality to speak of
I love how the droids and Grievous doesn't waste any time. Grievous doesn't just stand around while the Nightsister is channeling her weapons. And the Commando droids start shooting before they fully charge their bows.
I was cheering for Grievous when he slaughtered the night sisters. Dude needed a win and those bitches had it coming to them. I don't recall him being so cheery about it though. I thought it was supposed to be a desperate race against the clock, not a casual hunt.
Disney, please finish the season 7 Crystal Crisis arc in clone wars. Grievous' only win was in that arc and it never got made, and I know for a fact the fanbase would love it. Give us more Grievous content!
Technically not the only win though. He won in some of the battles with Malevolance, in the Lair of Grievous episode, at the beggining of the Intrigue arc against Eeth Koth, when he captured Adi Gallia in that R2 & 3PO Arc in S4 & during the space battle with Obi-Wan in the Younglings arc.
@TheGeneralGrievous19 I'm talking about duels, so taking out a fleet with the malevolence doesn't count. The only duel grievous "won" was against Nadaar, but even then he shot him and cheated. He only beat Koth because 4 Magnaguards helped him. He lost to everyone else.
If Grievous takes the night sister weapon from the night sister he fought and presumably defeats, I can imagine him saying, “Another fine addition to my collection” (though it’s not a lightsaber, just a random thought I had about this clip)
While I'm very excited for this series, I'm a little hesitant that Morgan Elsbeth is one of the characters we're focusing on here. No offense to her actress or anything like that, but Morgan herself isn't exactly a character who, at least, I believe is that interesting and should be focused on in a story like this. Sure, other characters involved around her are like Grievous and Thrawn, but Morgan herself? Not so much. I honestly didn't even know she was supposed to be a Night Sister till after Ahsoka's show was on like it's 3rd or 4th episode. Also with her being recently killed off, do we really need to focus on her background? I mean, there are honestly plenty of other characters who I think can pull in the Spot light for the Empire, such as Tarkin, Krenic, Gideon, Yularen, even more can be shown with Thrawn if need be. Point is, while I am excited for this series, Morgan's character isn't exactly the reasoning for it.
I think the 'Tales of the Empire' moniker has been wasted on Morgan. I mean a Yularen story would not only be easy but so much more interesting. I already have a rough idea of a story they could tell as to account for Tom Kane no longer being able to act.
@@michaelgualtieri651 he is important for Anakin’s turn to the dark side. I mean in the Clone Wars he’s like your typical Saturday morning cartoon villain while Ventress gets a lot of character development.
He sounds much more like he did in Revenge of The Sith here, compared to Clone Wars. I think they just reused audio samples from the movie rather than have Matthew Wood record new lines.
@@maxg8766 yes after watching the show I think that makes more sense. I think I got this idea that the slaughter of the nightsisters took place over the course of one night, but I appreciate that this show proved that it was a prolonged operation. I like that clarification, despite tote’s flaws as a show it was a nice addition
Man, now I'm looking forward to it, but now I'm in doubt, will they do a retcon of the original Clone Wars episode? Well, I just watched it and I remember that Grievius didn't have the cover in the episode, well I want to see how they're going to do it
It wouldn't be too hard to explain that as he just put a cape on at some point during the slaughter. Maybe he didn't wear it while fighting Ventress because he knew he needed to be inhibited to fight her, but then once she was dealt with he put it back on to be more intimidating. Either way, at most the retcon is "Grevious had a cape on during this when it was previously shown that he didn't" which is really not that big a deal.
Grievous wearing a cape here is easy to explain. The massacre went on for days. He attacked Ventress and Mothet Talzin first, then went to the other villages. Also, throwing a cape on Grievous isn't too much of a retcon. TCW limited budget had to get rid of his and Dooku's capes on multiple occasions. Giving him his cape here is easily an upgrade, like changing Ahsoka's early phase 1 outfit from a tube top to an actual shirt in Tales of the Jedi.
It’s crazy because this was something that was never four seen in the original Star Wars the clone wars when the separatists army & general grievous comes to Dathomir. However they failed to show Merrin you know from Jedi Fallen Order.
Wasn't he bats*it insane at this point since he was in hiding for 10/11 years? Because if I remember correctly, by the time Savage brought Maul back to Dathomir, the massacre had already happened.
idk but Grievous feels a bit off. A bit too light. Idk if it is just absent a walking sound effect when he walks but he doesn't feel like he has that weight he normally does.
once again we're just inventing new canon and squeezing it in wherever. pretty sure after he fought ventress, we saw grevious was quick to push right through to mother talsan, not stop and have a prolonged fight with a rando that important later
While this fight was going on Maul is on the junk planet being a rabid animal cannibalizing on organic flesh his little snake buddy brings him, oh and Savage is out rampaging on local diners in search of him
Looks like they got it from IGN. No idea why this channel has uploaded it again when it's already on offical star wars and press channels. Won't be long until it's removed
I bet this takes place in the 2nd battle of Dathomir, the same one where Darth Sidious, Count Dooku and General Grievous fought Darth Maul and the Nightsisters. And in the comics, Grievous killed Mother Talzin at the end of the battle, so we might actually see it.
@@valnoroy3744 Highly unlikely. Grievous was only there for that battle for nearly an hour, he's focused on saving Dooku by following the Green aura to stop them from torturing Dooku. Plus, all aesthetics aside, Grievous lost an arm after his duel with Ventress, specifically the bottom right one, but he clearly got all 4 here. And so far, I don't see the Green Aura he's supposed to follow. So, no it's not the 1st battle.
@phillipwalling7470 It's probably just disney making the character look better. Cuz it wouldn't make sense if it was during SoD considering almost all nightsisters were being killed. It's probably after Grevious went out of the cave in massacre. Since we didn't saw when Grevious left.
I wish there is at least some dialog rather then gasps, cough, laughs and breathing. I’d take a sentence of him gloating or him just those Sickle will make a fine addition to my collection.
So did Grievous go back to Dathomir and wipe out other night sister clans? Because if this is during the one we saw during TCW then he should be missing one of his half arms.
I keep seeing the same comment everywhere Lair of Grievous: cLoSEsT tHing Massacre: cLoSEsT tHing Bound for Rescue: cLoSEsT tHing A Necessary Bond: cLoSEsT tHing Dark Disciple: cLoSEsT tHing Son of Dathomir: cLoSEsT tHing For a character that "sucks" it sure does get many cLoSEsT tHing tO 2003 gRiEvOuS moments
Man they’ve really weakened grievous. Took away everything that makes him scary. Disney Star Wars is just not it. They don’t know how to be gritty and accurate to what the fans truly desire. Grievous should be able to take out all these people by himself with ease that would make him threatening. He’s just a cool design with spinny sabers now

"Mom, can we pick up General Grievous on the way back?"

Love that Grievous is actually fighting with his cape on for once.
In all fairness, it's pretty hard to fight with a cape on, more so when you're using weapons that can start a fire if touching something flammable.

This is probably happening after he killed Old Daka & saved Dooku. So he is just going around with the droids and killing all the remaing Nighsisters.
