Full general Grievous is a character and adversary in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. Grievous was introduced in the 2003 animated serial Star Wars: Clone Wars (voiced past John DiMaggio in the 2nd season and Richard McGonagle in the 3rd flavour), earlier appearing through computer-generated imagery in the 2005 alive-action film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (voiced by Matthew Forest). Forest reprised his role in the 2008 reckoner blithe series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

General Grievous is depicted as a brilliant armed services strategist who serves as the Supreme Commander of the Confederacy of Contained Systems' Droid Armies during the Clone Wars. He is a powerful Kaleesh cyborg who has mastered all forms of lightsaber combat under the tutelage of Count Dooku to rival the Force abilities of the Jedi of the Galactic Commonwealth. Grievous harbors an intense hatred of the Jedi and gains a reputation as a feared and ruthless Jedi hunter who collects the lightsabers of his fallen victims as trophies. He develops a rivalry with Jedi Primary Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom he clashes with numerous times during the state of war, and is ultimately killed by Kenobi during their final confrontation in Revenge of the Sith.

General Grievous has become one of the franchise's about iconic villains and a widely recognized figure in popular culture. His popularity within the Star Wars fandom has earned him a cult following. In addition to the films and animated serial, the character has appeared in numerous forms of media in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, including novels, comic books and video games. Such works explore Grievous' past as a warlord named Qymaen jai Sheelal who blamed the Jedi for the plight of his people. After being mortally wounded in a transport crash, he was saved and rebuilt as a cyborg by Count Dooku (who was secretly responsible for the crash). This backstory was retroactively altered in The Clone Wars, in which information technology is unsaid that Grievous willingly augmented his body with cybernetic enhancements to combat the Jedi. Several elements of Grievous's original backstory were later reintroduced in the current Star Wars canon.

Concept and creation

Star Wars creator George Lucas conceived General Grievous as a powerful new Separatist villain for Revenge of the Sith. Lucas specifically envisioned Grievous equally a cyborg droid full general to foreshadow Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader afterward in the film. Lucasfilm's fine art department developed numerous concepts for Grievous' appearance, some purely mechanical and others less then. The design sketch ultimately chosen past Lucas was made into a 1-foot (30 cm)-alpine maquette sculpture, which was further refined as a realistic reckoner-generated model by Industrial Lite & Magic. At the time, this was one of the most complicated models ever created by ILM, with many parts of differing physical qualities. Grievous is completely computer-generated imagery in the movie. On set, Duncan Immature read the lines off-screen while Kyle Rowling wore a bluescreen or a greenscreen suit to deed out the fights with Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Besides notable are the numerous contradictions between the expanded universe and both TV series. Grievous is depicted every bit having four fingers per arm in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series whereas Star Wars: Clone Wars has the full general depicted equally having five. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and well-nigh other comics depicted him as having half-dozen fingers per arm. The original Clone Wars incarnation was fast, acrobatic and powerful but not as often in command when compared to the more recent The Clone Wars incarnation of the character. Furthermore, his asthmatic cough and hunchbacked stance are already present, despite having not gained them prior to his confrontation with Mace Windu. The general's back story has also been inverse: supervising director Dave Filoni stated that Grievous opted for surgery in order to gain abilities that would allow him to rival a Jedi. This is reinforced by flavour 1's 10th episode "Lair of Grievous" which suggested the general'due south transformation into a cyborg was a gradual procedure.

Comparisons have been drawn between the character's appearance and Jacob Epstein'southward sculpture Rock Drill.^{[one] [two]}

Portrayal

Sound editor Matthew Wood submitted a voice audition for the graphic symbol as Alan Smithee.

Nevertheless, Grievous has the coughing for the entirety of his appearance in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, making his micro-serial backstory not-canon.^[6]

Full general Grievous has been voiced by four actors. For the Season Two finale of the Clone Wars animated micro-series, the character was voiced past John DiMaggio, who gave him a tinny voice—non knowing what the character would audio similar in Revenge of the Sith. Richard McGonagle voiced the character for Clone Wars Season Three.^[vii] The grapheme was voiced past Matthew Wood in the feature film Revenge of the Sith, the animated series The Clone Wars, and most video game appearances. David W. Collins voiced the character (albeit uncredited) in Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron and Battlefront: Aristocracy Squadron.

Gary Oldman (a friend of producer Rick McCallum) agreed to submit a vox audition but his involvement never went beyond that. Several months later, actor John Rhys-Davies was widely reported to be the character's phonation but this was revealed to be a prank. DiMaggio was considered for the office for Grievous afterward he had previously voiced him in the 2003 Clone Wars animated series, but was later dropped.^{[ citation needed ]}
