Did you make Grievous such a wussbag.
Imaging a live action fight between CW style Grievous and Obi-1..... Drool. 
Also Dooku trained him and didn't even break a sweat beating him .... but gets beaten by anakin ? Seriously. (Did a search but didn't find anything about this so posting it !) _______________ Bored of Psu Back to Gw I apologise in advance to all the people that will take offense to me saying my opinion. |

I'm sure if the movie was completely CGI, then it would be possible to remake the fights in all their speculated glory. Alas, human actors have their limitations. Although, I'm sure some more effort could have been put in it, but could a human actor really live up to the expectations of the fight?
Luckily a completely CGI version seems to be coming out next year. Maybe that will live up to the fans hopes. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

Obi-wan is considered the master of Soresu, a highly defensive form of lightsaber combat, by the time of Ep. III. He chose to perfect this form after watching Qui-Gon die, noting flaws in his style being the cause of his death. Obi-wan was still considered to be perfecting the form during Ep. II, which would account to his loss to Dooku, but by Ep. III, 3 years later, he could have refined the remaining flaws in his technique and allowed him to adequately defend against Grievous.
In all honesty, 1 saber with a good form doesent beat 4 sabers if use correctly, they made him fight, like in all honesty... a pansy. He just spun em around, watch the clonewars cartoons and see how agressive and acrobatic he fights.

Quote: As it seems, Grievous has mastered the art of fighting many foes at once, and winning...
Consider these lines uttered by Andre The Giant (Fezzik) from "The Princess Bride" when he and The Man in Black are fighting: Fezzik: "I just figured why you give me so much trouble" MiB: "Why is that, do you think?" Fezzik: "I haven't faught just one person for so long, been specializing in groups, fighting gangs, those sort of things..." MiB: "Why should that make such a difference?" Fezzik: "Well, you see, you use different moves when you fight half-a-dozen people, than you only have to worry about one..." (and he's down) Ha, I love that movie. It's true, though. _______________ Top ten reasons to get a better computer...|My fan |

False, Dooku disarms him of one of his sabers then talks to him. _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker.

Quote: Do you realize how skilled Obi-Wan is?
QFE Obi-wan did one thing well...DEFENSE HIS ASS... he did it against Grevious and the barrage of attacks at the hand of Anakin(Vader). Grevious was powerful..that is for sure...take out the ability to use the force as dooku did (force throw Obi on Grevious's ship)...and Obiwan is one of the best defensive saberists in all the galaxy. Needless to say...fight should have been more BA between Grevious and Obi1 - JP   _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker.

Quote: The reason he lost to obi-1 at all was due to overconfidence and pride
Amazing that you use this as justification for Vader losing, but when its an injured alien that is only facing a single Jedi that it knows has "lost" to his trainer he can't possibly be too proud and overconfident, ensuring his loss. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Well anakin is darth vader after all.
The transition into gothy emo character as far as i know only weakened his force connection and skills. The reason he lost to obi-1 at all was due to overconfidence and pride. He would as sidious said himself become stronger than anyone else had he not been injured so horribly. For example he couldn't use the standard darkside lightning due to his cybernetic components and such. Vader was actually portrayed quite well in ep3. On another note i would have liked to see a kind of conclusion to ventress storyline besides her "Leaving the world of jedi and sith"  _______________ Bored of Psu Back to Gw I apologise in advance to all the people that will take offense to me saying my opinion. |

Some items that prove is was under done in ep3 was:
''His standard speed was three strikes per limb per second, and he could increase his speed to at least twenty total strikes per second, allowing him to overwhelm most foes instantly.[1] ^ we saw him spin his puffy sabers around in circles, not much of a 20 strike a second from 4 sabers at a time. Taught all the formal forms of lightsaber combat by Dooku, he developed a personalized unorthodox fighting form, involving lightning-fast attacks designed to overwhelm his enemies. His mechanical enhancements gave him an edge in close-quarter combat, enabling him to hold his own against several Jedi all at once ^ trained in every form of lightsaber combat - and apparently he yet again just spun his sabers around. As seen here He was able to hold of Many jedi - one of which was ki adi mundi - who was a master of Makashi ( the form dooku used to defeat Obi wan and anakin. awell as stand up to yoda) now, if he was a MASTER of a lightsaber form, aswell as having 4 other jedi hacking at him.. well. in all honesty grievous was horoubly underpowered in the movie - using none of the skill he shows in the cartoons, cormics, or books.. _______________ Quote: I mostly agree oh Lord of the squeezy mop
