Grievous's accent

Is it me, or does Grievous have a Russian accent? I mean, he has a deep voice, sounds like he's been on the vodka and puts emphasis on his 'd's. I know this might sound like idle discussion, but GL grew up during the Cold War, so it might have some significance. Thanks. Unit 8311 15:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Necrosis

Following the Declaration of a New Order, clone troopers recovered Grievous's body, transporting it and his captured starfighter to one of Emperor Palpatine's secret storehouses on Utapau.

What source is this from? This counters Episode III film, as we know Obi-Wan took Grievous' fighter to escape Utapau. Should this information be removed as it contradicts the highest level of canon, that being the ROTS film? - JMAS 14:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Unknown Soldier: The Story of General Grievous and Story of General Grievous II: Lord of War. And no, it doesn't contradict the film. Grievous's fighter was recovered after Kenobi had landed it in Tantive IV's hangar. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 20:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Six lightsabers?

In addition to this, he also has repulsor lifts built into his legs and his feet can double as hands, allowing him to wield six lightsabers all at once. I'm not really sure about this one. Is it ever stated that he had the ability to use 6 lightsabers at once? We've never seen him with more than four at a time, and in the Clone Wars he is shown fighting with one foot, but he still needed the other to support himself. I know he does have repulsors, but I kind of thought they were there to steady him when he was on one foot, not to completely levitate him off the ground.Darth Ceratis 18:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Feinting with the blade in his right hand, he removed the head of one Jedi with the blade in his left. […] For practice, Grievous called two more blades from his belt, grasping them in his feet even as the antigrav repulsors built into his legs were lifting him from the floor, making him every bit as agile as the Force did the Jedi.
With his four blades to the Jedi's two, the duel had come full circle.

He'd only need to split his arms to be able to do it with 6 blades. -- I need a name (Complain here) 01:16, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Well, that works. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 01:20, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
    • So no one told James Luceno that Grievous had 4 arms? I don't know if that's necessarily means he could do it. It should stay the same.--Herbsewell 01:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
      • If he could do it like that, he could split his arms to make it six lightsabers. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 01:25, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
        • He could but it has never happened.--Herbsewell 01:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
          • Still, I think that's enough to change it back. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 01:44, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
            • No it's not. We are still theorizing if Grievous can use six lightsabers.--Herbsewell 01:46, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
              • We now have concrete evidence that he could handle lightsabers with his feet. This, combined with the fact that he could split his two arms into four, is enough to change that paragraph back. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 01:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
                • No it's not. If he hasn't actually done it then it's a unproven theory, no matter what kind of evidence comes after.--Herbsewell 01:50, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Cape issues?

I know that his colors are different in the films and such, but is that really much of an issue? Instead of it being a contradiction or something, is it possible that he just... changed his clothing? I know that the movies suggest otherwise, but it's just a thought.--LightWarden 04:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Where do they suggest otherwise?--Herbsewell 14:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
    • From the article: "It is noteworthy that even two shots of the finished film itself still retain the uncorrected white-colored garment: first, when the distant Grievous is stalking along the exterior of Invisible Hand and drops into an escape pod; and then in the following shot in which the General descends through the hatch with his cloak billowing out behind his head. A recent Hasbro action figure, essentially a repainted reissue of an earlier sculpt, has featured the "corrected" dark gray cloak." I still say the guy had time to hit wardrobe, it took time for Anakin and Obi-Wan to haul back from the Rim and fight their way to Grievous.--LightWarden 19:18, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Yeah, what is the big deal over his cape? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 14:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
      • I could swear the change when he dropped into the escape pod was just a lighting thing, especially because it actually changes in one shot as he drops down.--Lord OblivionSith holocron20px 04:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
        • We're having a debate over the colour of Grievous's cape? Good god. Well, any changes in the colour of the cape in the film were obviously the result of a CGI mistake, or an overworked animator. It's not like Grievous changed his cape constantly between the scenes :-) Unit 8311 08:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
