Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
I was as disappointed as any with one villain fromStar warfare : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith , but this was always the distributor point . My opinion on the third film in George Lucas ' trilogy often line up with many others ; I thinkRevenge of the Sithis one of thebest - rankedStar Warsmovies . It is doubtless the best movie in the prequel trilogy and , in my opinion , falls behind onlyStar war : The Last JediandThe Empire Strikes Backregarding its place in my enfranchisement ranking .
One of the reasons I holdRevenge of the Sithin such gamy regard is due to the plastic film ’s fantasticStar Warsaction view . The superb battles of The Clone Wars and the lightsaber duels fit the flick ’s bleaker timber and solidifyRevenge of the Sith ’s post on thechronologicalStar Warstimelineas an built-in stepping Oliver Stone in creating one of the franchise ’s most iconic scoundrel . Although I jibe with many that Darth Vader ’s do - up make for terrifically inRevenge of the Sith , I can not serve but also agree that one of the motion-picture show ’s other villains is disappointing , but this was always their mean role .
Star Wars has some of the most well - developed and fearsome baddie of all fourth dimension , but there ’s a exculpated hierarchy for the franchise ’s best baddies .
General Grievous Was Never Meant To Be An All-Powerful Threat
Grievous Was Always A Misunderstood Villain
The baddie I am talk about is General Grievous , a lineament whose first discharge order appearance came inRevenge of the Sith . I have long found Grievous unsatisfying , mainly due to his unthreatening personality , his leaning to play out from brush throughout thetimeline ofStar Wars : The Clone WarsandEpisode III , and the somewhat ease with which Obi - Wan Kenobi defeats him in the latter . However , I now pull in that this disappointment was misplaced thanks to an explanation of the theatrical role byStar Wars’Dave Filoni in theStar Wars Insidermagazine :
" Some citizenry want Grievous to be Darth Vader , but he ’s not . That ’s a critical thing to remember . Fandom made him this powerful weapon of reverence before we saw Revenge of the Sith , which is what Dooku need you to think of Grievous . But as Obi - Wan see in the movie , when you meet him look - to - case , he is n’t this terrifying creature . In fact , much like any Frankenstein ’s monster , there ’s this lugubriousness to him , about what he probably once was and what this mechanized wickedness has bend him into . "
As point out by Filoni , my perception of Grievous has been wrong this entire clip . Rather than see Grievous as an incredibly herculean , Vader - like scoundrel of The Clone Wars , I was supposed to view him exactly as the flick presented him . Grievous is more of a tragic shape , one whose disappointing presence more or less conveys his hidden backstory as a living being who has slowly been turned into a monster akin to Vader , only without the latter ’s threat .

The Clone Wars Micro-Series Shaped Our Understanding Of Grievous
avowedly , one of the elementary reason as to why I perceive Grievous as a highly menacing threat was his depiction in Genndy Tartakovski’sStar war : Clone Wars . When I first watched theStar Warsseries , I did so in chronological order , nest my first watch of theClone Warsmicro - series between my first lookout ofStar Wars : Episode II - Attack of the Clonesand its continuation . As it turns out , this shape my savvy of what Grievous was - or more capably , what he was not - in the geological era of theStar Warsprequels .
In Grievous ' first appearance inStar warfare : Clone Wars , he was draw as a terrifying fiend . The scene saw him stalking toward six Jedi , let in powerful Edgar Lee Masters like Ki - Adi - Mundi , Aayla Secura , and Shaak Ti , his bearing indicated only by the threatening sounds of his mechanical arm . This , mix with his struggle against six Jedi simultaneously , convinced me that Grievous was suppose to be an almighty threat to the Jedi . Naturally , his depiction inStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithwas always go to issue forth as a disappointment after this , though Filoni ’s explanation - andClone Warsbeing dubbed Legends - do Grievous ' canyon portrayal more logical .
