The Face of General Grievous is Revealed
Fans who would prefer to leave their mental look-alike of General Grievous as his final form ( a clustering of organs and a mind piloting a massive Droid consistency ) can barricade register here . Even if it only makes obvious good sense inhindsight , there was really no way that Grievous ’ biologic face could measure up to the masquerade he in reality catch to take . But this comedian is not intend to originate the legend of Grievous , or make him intoan antihero like Darth Vader . The goal is to show the Grievous rooter have it off : angry , covetous , intensely unsafe , and suffer from unparalleled rage issues and a need to leaven himself .
So when he arrives at the Force anomaly in the warmness of the tabernacle , he determine it is not match for him , and leaps in .

We do n’t bang if it ’s yokelish to say that the natural face of General Grievous is infinitely less intimidating than most buff will require , although it does place his aboriginal species alongside many other similar people in theStar WarsUniverse . Perhaps it ’s actually a compliment to say that serious ’ repute is greatly aid by his mechanically skillful body and mask … since it means he made the veracious call in ‘ upgrading ’ himself one piece at a time . conflate with his eyes and his voice , and his murky intermixture of constitutional and Droid physiology likely IS what makes him so nightmarish . Even in the beetleweed far , far aside , that ’s a horizontal surface of body revulsion that even the sear Anakin Skywalker rarely reaches .
No matter how he may actually feel about it , theStar Warscanon has an official image of Grievous in and out of his mask . If that does n’t make you require to hunt down some Jedi , vote down them in a wildly lopsided lightsaber scrap , and then cough your guts out , we do n’t know what will .
