However, he soon appeared in the film. He was voiced by three people: Joe DiMaggio in the character's 20th debut episode of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, Richard McGonagle in later episodes, and Matthew Wood in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Episode III. Revenge of the Sith." In March 2005, Dark Horse Comics began publishing a four-part comic about General Grievous.
BiographyEarly lifeRonderLong before the birth of Kimaen jai Shilal, his home planet was attacked by the insectoid Yam "rii race from the planet Hak, which is at a higher stage of technological development than the Kalish. Due to the technical superiority of the Yam "rii, they managed to take over their home system and set up colonies everywhere, completely without caring about the well-being of other inhabitants of these worlds. These insectoids were only interested in mineral deposits and other fossils suitable for sale. They colonized and sacked planets such as Abbaji and Tovarskl. Since there was practically no valuable mineral raw materials on the desert Kali, the yam "rii decided to turn the Kalishites themselves into a trading resource, trying to enslave them. Thus began the Khak war (by the name of the native planet of the yam" rii). Qymaen jai Sheelal was born in a world that has been at war for over a hundred years. From an early age, his father taught him how to handle a rifle and soon the boy became an excellent sniper. By the age of eight, he had killed more than forty yams "rii. After the death of his father, who died in battle, he inherited a mask made from the skull of the myumuu, which he practically never took off. By the age of 22, he had killed so many invaders that he became for his people a hero like demigod. Around the same time, he met Ronderu lij Kammar, a woman who became his closest friend and perhaps his only love. She wore a karabbak skull mask and was a master swordsman. The nature of their relationship is unclear, some considered Ronder to be Kymaen's half-sister, others thought she was his lover. According to legend, Kimaen foresaw her appearance in one of his dreams, in which he hunted wild myumuu in the Kanbal jungle. In this dream, he was killing mymumu with a sword. League- traditional weapons of the Kalisz people. Kymaen was so caught up in his dream that he went into the jungle to make the vision come true. There he first saw Ronder armed with two swords. League, and realized that she was the hunter from his dream. On the basis of this legend, the people of Kalisz declared that Kimaen and Ronderu were incarnations of the Dreamer and the Dreamer, from the mysterious legend of Sheelal. Kimaen and Ronderu spent several years together, fighting side by side with the invaders of the yam "rii. She taught him sword fighting, he showed her how to handle the Czerka Outland rifle. Together they were invincible - two demigods blessed by the ancestors. In one battle near the coast of the Jenuvaa Sea, when they had to separate, Ronderu died. Her body, mutilated by the yam'rii's sharp limbs, was swept away by the waves. This death was a blow from which Kimaen was never able to recover. He went on a pilgrimage to the island of Abesmi, sacred to his people, to beg the gods for the opportunity to see Rondera again. The gods did not answer his prayers, and he returned to his people. In an attempt to forget Rondera, Kimaen took ten wives, who later bore him thirty children. But even this did not help him get rid of his longing for Ronder, and then he changed his name as a sign that he would mourn her forever. From now on, he began to be called Grievous (eng. grievous - sad, mournful). End of the Hak WarAfter some time, Grievous became the most famous and most cruel warlord of the Kalishians. The warriors he recruited Izvoshra, killed the yam'riy by the thousands, and soon they were forced to leave the planet. Not satisfied with what he had achieved, Grievous began to take over the yam'rii colonies, destroying everything in his path and making no exceptions for civilian objects. After his troops captured the planet Tovarskl, the Yam'rii, allied with the Trade Federation, turned to the Republic for help. The Republic Judicial Department, in response to the Trade Federation's request, sent a Jedi team to Tovarskl, led by Masters T'Chuka D'Un and Jmmaar. Under pressure from the Senate, a decision was made about the illegality of the actions of the Kalishians, they were ordered to return the worlds-colonies of the yam'rii and pay a huge fine. Thus ended the Hak War ingloriously, and General Grievous, along with his elite Izvoshra had to return to Cali. Service with the Intergalactic Banking ClanKali, which had been at war for more than a hundred years, was unable to pay its debts. Soon famine began on it, and Grievous had to watch his wives and children slowly die. After some time, the chairman of the Intergalactic Banking Clan, Sen Hill, arrived in Kali, who offered to pay part of Kali's debts in exchange for Grievous to serve his clan. Grievous hated the idea of working as a scarecrow for the MGBK's competitors, but, of course, he agreed to San Hill's offer. He left his warriors on Kali and took command of the small droid army belonging to the clan. He soon proved his worth by collecting Ord Mantell's debt to the Banking Clan and taking over Phlut Design Systems. He lacked his former army, but although the MGBK refused to hire other Kalishians, with the consent of Count Dooku, San Hill provided Grievous with a new model of battle droids, the IG-100 MagnaGuards. Although Grievous was initially quite disappointed with the new droid model, further improvements to their software allowed him to train them to fight almost as well as his Izvoshra. The birth of a cyborgDestruction of the "Martyr"After some time in the service of the MGBC, General Grievous learned that the Yam'rii had defiled a Kali military grave on a colony planet, and that the Galactic Republic chose not to notice this act of vandalism. He broke his agreement with the MGBK and returned to Kali to lead a new war with the yam'rii. San Hill was not surprised by this act. For some time he thought about the possibility of killing Grievous, but then he nevertheless decided to abandon such plans, because he was afraid of the general's response if he survived the assassination attempt. Instead, he and the Geonosian archduke Poggle the Lesser, with the help of Count Dooku, came up with a different plan. General Grievous's ship, the Martyr, was planted with an ion bomb that exploded as the ship flew over the Jenuva Sea. Everyone flying on this ship, with the exception of Grievous himself, died in the explosion, and Dooku's ship picked him up. Dooku stunned him with Force lightning and had the MagnaGuards transport him to Geonosis. TransformationThe crippled Grievous woke up in a bacta chamber on Geonosis. San Hill offered him to lead a new droid army, the largest the galaxy has ever seen, in exchange for promising to end the famine on Kali, but with the only condition - Grievous must become a cyborg. Grievous replied that he saw no point in fighting for the Confederacy. After the torture had no effect, the surviving wives and children of Grievous were brought to Geonosis. Of course, the General agreed to all the conditions of the Banking Clan, asking only to leave him his own eyes. Archduke Geonosis's scientists encased Grievous's organic part in a duranium hull, shaped like the ancient Krath battle droids and capable of withstanding the starfighter's laser cannon. Grievous' arms were capable of splitting into two. Thus, the cyborg had four three-toed upper limbs, in each of which he was able to hold a weapon. His lower limbs were fitted with anti-gravs to give him the ability to move on vertical planes. As promised, Grievous was left with his own eyes, only slightly modified to accommodate his new abilities. The cyborg also cut out a new mask for himself, which resembled his father's mask, made from a Myumuu skull. Even the scientists of Poggle the Small had to modify the brain of Grievous, during this they removed some of the memories and changed his psyche. As part of the experiment to create Grievous the cyborg, he was transfused with the blood of Master Sifo Diaz. This blood helped him survive his transformation, but the general was deeply hurt that, despite constant transfusions of midi-chlorian-rich blood, he never became Force-sensitive. For Sun Hill and the scientists of Geonosis, however, the whole experiment was an unheard of stroke of luck. Kimaen jai Sheelal became the General Grievous that the HoloNet would later call the "Knightkiller". A few years later, this same technology would be used to turn Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader. Count Dooku made General Grievous Supreme Commander of the droid army and gave him the first lightsaber, once owned by Master Sifo Dias. Despite all the advantages of his new body, any reminder that he was a half-droid was an insult to Grievous, and when Count Dooku remarked that it was unheard of to receive a lightsaber for a droid as a gift, Grievous destroyed several MagnaGuards in a rage, saying then historical: "I'm not a droid. I am General Grievous." Clone WarsGeonosis and Hypori.For the first time, General Grievous had to try his hand at the Battle of Geonosis, he defended the leaders of the Separatists from the Jedi and clones. After he killed Jedi Master Ur-Sema Du with his own hands, Count Dooku offered to teach him how to use lightsabers. Soon the general mastered all seven classical forms of swordsmanship - up to makashi and juo. General Grievous' first public appearance was at the Battle of Hypori in 21.7 BBY, in which Republic forces were defeated. Seven Jedi participated in this battle, four of them survived: Ki-Adi Mundi, Shaak-Ti, Ayla Secura and K "Krak. If the ARC clones under the command of Captain Fordo had not arrived in time, then, most likely, none of the Jedi would not be able to stay alive. Six months after the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku decided to test the general by having him fight Asajj Ventress and Durge aboard the Count's space station Kolka. Grievous easily defeated both in battle, proving himself worthy of the title of Supreme Commander of the Confederacy. victoriesIn 20 BBY, Grievous launched a massive campaign called "Operation Durge Spear" to capture the core worlds. Hundreds of planets along the Corellian Trade Route fell, and the planet Daro was conquered, whose government's surrender was broadcast across the galaxy by HoloNet. A large-scale bombardment of the planet Hambarin was carried out, as a result of which the vast majority of the inhabitants died, and the planet itself ceased to be habitable. In the Wimell Sector, General Grievous ordered the use of a bioweapon, the Loedorvian Plague, which killed almost everyone in the sector, including clones from the Republican army. Mindful of his duty to Kali, General Grievous led an army of droids to Tovarskl, wiping out the yam'riyah population. In an attempt to protect the planet, the Jedi Puroth and Nystammal died. During the three years of the war, the separatists captured the Bavkhar station, Nadiy, Togoria, Vandos and Belderon. In 20 BBY, Grievous kidnapped Cyan, the Anx ambassador from Gravex Med, in order to trap the Jedi on the planet Vandos. Although Ambassador Kaien managed to escape, this trap allowed Grievous to kill the T'Chuk masters D'Un and Jmmaar. After that, T'Chuk's Padawan D'Un Flynn Kibo and several other Jedi (B'Dard Thawne and Cody Tai) began to hunt for Grievous, hoping to kill him. They found it on the moon Belsus in the Anoat system. As a result of this attempt, the Jedi Flynn Kibo and B'Dard Thawne were killed. Seven months later, at the Battle of Boz Pity (in 19 BBY), Grievous killed Jedi Sun Bates and Master Adi Gallia. During the second battle on Zagoba, Grievous almost succeeded in killing a young Boba Fett, who survived by faking his own death. Also on Zagoba, Grievous killed Firkrann, one of the Iron Knights from the planet Dwym. End of the warDeath of General GrievousBy decision of the Jedi Council, Obi-Wan Kenobi traveled to Utapau. He alone was able to kill several MagnaGuards and engage in a duel with General Grievous. The cyborg general began the fight with the Jedi with four lightsabers in his "hands", with which he was very deftly wielding. During this time, the clones, led by Commander Cody, launched a full-scale invasion of the city of Pau. When the Jedi was able to cut off the hands of the two upper limbs holding the swords, Grievous tried to flee. After a long chase, he and Obi-Wan ended up on a small airstrip where Grievous' ship was located. There the final battle took place. During the fight against Grievous, Obi-Wan Kenobi, who dropped his sword during the chase, was able to push the plates of Grievous's protective shell. However, the general threw Obi-Wan Kenobi back to the edge of the platform with a powerful blow. Obi-Wan hung on his hands over the abyss. At the last moment before a new attack, Grievous, using the Force, he managed to pull a blaster to himself, which he knocked out of the cyborg's clutches. Blaster rounds hit between General Grievous' armor plates. It exploded from within and shattered into small fragments. Thus ended the battle path of the famous general of the droid army. Partial revivalAfter the execution of Order 66, the clones moved the remains of General Grievous and his ship "Soulless" (starfighter Bellbulab-22) to one of the storage facilities on Utapau. A few years later, they were discovered by cyberneticist Nikolai Kainsworthy, and he created the N-K Necrosis droid based on Grievous' cybernetic body. Necrosis spent its short life in Miidril caves on Kashyyyk, and after some time was destroyed by a certain group of people who took away his weapons and everything that seemed to them of value. The Grievous mask eventually ended up on the black market, where it was acquired by Imperial Navy Grand Admiral Thrawn for its outstanding artistic value. HeritageDuring the era of the New Republic, General Grievous entered the pantheon of the Kalish gods, and a temple was built in his honor on the sacred island of Kalish, Abesmi. The same cyborgization procedure is known to have been used at the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center to save Anakin Skywalker's life and turn him into Darth Vader, and to turn Shira Brie (Lumia) into a cyborg Talents and abilitiesGeneral Grievous was an outstanding commander and an excellent strategist. He liked to mislead enemies with attacks that seemed illogical, but were actually fronts for a more massive invasion. Part of his tactics was the destruction of civilian objects, in order to cause maximum harm to the enemy, who was constrained by the need to evacuate the civilian population. Grievous was a good duelist. Most of the lightsabers in his collection passed to him after the death of their original owners. Under the guidance of Count Dooku, he studied all the schools of lightsaber swordplay and created his own, special technique, which suited his improved droid reaction. He was capable of swordsmanship with four swords at once (given that repulsors were built into his lower limbs, he could theoretically hold six sabers, although he was never seen in this), but rarely used this ability of his. Also, despite not being Force-sensitive, he could deflect blaster shots with his lightsaber. With the exception of duels with the Jedi, Grievous tried not to get involved in battles, allowing the MagnaGuards to perform their direct duties. List of slain JediBehind the scenes

Supreme Commander of the Confederacy of Independent Systems Droid Army during the Clone Wars. Born on the planet Kali and first shown his extraordinary talent as a military leader during the Hak War, General Grievous, along with Count Dooku, Nute Gunray and the Archduke of Geonosis Poggle the Small, was one of the leaders of the Separatists. He was known for his hatred of the Jedi and personally killed over a hundred of them, taking their lightsabers as trophies for himself.
Grievous' first appearance was in the Expanded Universe, but he soon appeared in the film as well. He was voiced by three people: Joe DiMaggio in episode 20 of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, Richard McGonagle in all other episodes, and Matthew Wood in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Also on Zagoba, Grievous killed Firkrann, one of the Iron Knights from the planet Dwym.
End of the war
In 19 BBY, Darth Sidious gave Grievous information about secret hyperspace routes. This allowed the general to lead the Confederate Independent Systems fleet to Coruscant. As the battle began, Grievous led IG-100 to the planet's surface to capture Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He first made his way to the chancellor's residence in Republic 500, where he was forced to fight Mace Windu. After the battle moved to the roof of the maglev train, Windu managed to throw General Grievous down. But this did not stop the general, he managed to get to the chancellor's apartments and capture him. All of the Jedi who had secured Chancellor Palpatine were defeated (Roron Corobb, Foul Moudama, Rot-Del Mason, and Bink A "" Trila died. Only Shaak-Ti survived).
Mace Windu, in an attempt to save the chancellor with the Force, damaged Grievous' chest, causing significant damage to his internal organs. This greatly worsened the already poor condition of the respiratory tract and lungs of the cyborg (the scientists of the Archduke Geonosis failed to finally solve the problem of the compatibility of the organic and inorganic parts of the body, and General Grievous was forced to suffer from coughing fits since the start of the Clone Wars). But, even when wounded, Grievous was able to complete his mission - to deliver Chancellor Palpatine aboard the Invisible Hand - his flagship.
To rescue Chancellor Palpatine, Mace Windu dispatched Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to General Grievous' cruiser. They were able to break into the ship and enter the hall where the captive Palpatine was. Here Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker engaged in battle with Count Dooku. Obi-Wan Kenobi was thrown aside by the Count and seemingly killed, while Anakin Skywalker was able to cut off both of the Count's arms. Incited by Palaptin, he cut off the head of the disarmed count. After that, they released the chancellor and tried to escape, but were trapped in one of the ship's corridors. They were taken to Grievous on the bridge of the Invisible Hand. On the bridge, the Jedi, aided by Skywalker's droid R2-D2, killed all of the MagnaGuards, forcing Grievous to flee his own ship. His escape pod was picked up by one of the Separatist ships.
After the death of Count Dooku, General Grievous became the head of the Separatists.
General Grievous - a Kalishian, he is Kimaen jai Shilal. Born on the planet Kali.
Prior to the birth of Kimaen jai Sheelal, the planet Kali was attacked by the insectoid Yam'rii race, who were at a higher level of technological development than the Kalish. The Yam'rii conquered many planets, notably Tovarskl and Zyant. They used the resources of the conquered worlds for trade, and colonized the planets themselves. Since there was practically no valuable mineral raw material on the desert Kali, the yam'riy decided to turn the Kalish people themselves into a trading resource by conquering them. Thus began the Khak War, named after the Yam'rii's home planet. The Kalishians also began to call the invaders themselves Khaks.
Kimaen jai Shilal was born in a world that had been at war for over a hundred years. The people of Kalisz constantly raised uprisings. All the boy's ancestors fought, fighting openly or shooting yam'rii one at a time; the freedom-loving spirit naturally settled into the soul of young Kimaen. From a young age, his father taught him how to handle a rifle, and soon the boy became an excellent sniper. By the age of eight, he had killed over forty yam'rii.
After the death of his father, who died in battle, he inherited a mask made from a mymuu skull, which he has hardly taken off since. By the age of 22, he had killed so many invaders that he became a demigod-like hero to his people.
Soon he met Ronderu lij Kammar, a woman who became his closest friend and his only love. She wore a karabbak skull mask and was a master swordsman. Kimaen foresaw her appearance in one of his dreams, in which he hunted a wild myumuu in the Kanbal jungle. In this dream, he was killing myumuu with the sword of Lig, the traditional weapon of the Kalish people. Kymaen was so caught up in his dream that he went into the jungle to make the vision come true. There, he first saw Rondera, armed with two swords of the League, and realized that she was the hunter from his dream.
Kimaen and Ronderu spent several years together, fighting side by side with the invaders. She taught him sword fighting and he showed her how to use the Czerka Outland rifle.
In one battle near the coast of the Jenuvaa Sea, when they had to separate, Ronderu died. Her body, mutilated by the yam'rii's sharp limbs, was swept away by the waves. This death was a blow from which Kimaen was never able to recover. He went on a pilgrimage to the island of Abesmi, sacred to his people, to beg the gods for the opportunity to see Rondera again. The gods did not answer his prayers, and he returned to his people.
In an attempt to forget Rondera, Kimaen took ten wives, who later bore him thirty children. This did not help him get rid of his longing for Ronder, and then he changed his name as a sign that he would mourn her forever. From now on, he became known as Grievous - which meant sad.
After some time, Grievous became the most famous and most cruel warlord of the Kalishians. The warriors he recruited, Izvoshra, killed the Yam'rii by the thousands, and they were soon forced to leave the planet. Not satisfied with what he had achieved, Grievous began to take over the yam'rii colonies, destroying everything in his path and making no exceptions for civilians and objects.
After his troops captured the planet Tovarskl, the Yam'rii, allied with the Trade Federation, turned to the Republic for help. The Republic Judicial Department, in response to the request of the Trade Federation, sent a team of Jedi to Tovarskl, led by T'Chuk's masters D'Un and Jmmaar. Under pressure from the Senate, a decision was made about the illegality of the actions of the Kalishians, they were ordered to return the worlds-colonies of the yam'rii and pay a huge fine. Thus ended the Khak War ingloriously, and General Grievous, along with his Izvoshra elite, had to return to Kali.
The planet Kali, which had been at war for more than a hundred years, was unable to pay its debts. Soon, hunger began on it, and Grievous had to watch his wives and children slowly die.
Some time later, the chairman of the Intergalactic Banking Clan, Sen Hill, arrived in Kali, who offered to pay part of Kali's debts in exchange for Grievous serving his clan. Grievous was disgusted by the idea of working as a scarecrow for MGBC competitors, but he agreed. He left his warriors on Kali and took command of the small droid army that belonged to the clan. He soon proved his worth by collecting Ord Mantell's debt to the Banking Clan and taking over Phlut Design Systems.
He missed his former army, but although the MGBK refused to hire other Kalishians, with the consent of the Earl of San Hill, he provided Grievous with a new model of IG-100 "Magna Guard" battle droids. Although Grievous was initially quite disappointed with the new model of droids, further improvements to their software allowed him to train them to fight almost as well as his Izvoshra.
After some time in the service of the MGBK, General Grievous learned that the Yam'rii had desecrated a Kalish military grave on a colony planet, and that the Republic chose not to notice this act of vandalism. He broke his agreement with the MGBK and returned to Kali to lead a new war with the yam'rii.
San Hill was not surprised by this act. For some time he thought about the possibility of killing Grievous, but then he nevertheless decided to abandon such plans, because he was afraid of the general's response if he survived the assassination attempt. Instead, he and the Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser, with the support of Count Dooku, came up with another plan, more complex and cunning.
General Grievous's ship, the Martyr, was planted with an ion bomb that exploded as the ship flew over the Jenuva Sea. Everyone flying on this ship, with the exception of Grievous himself, died in the explosion; the general was picked up by a ship. The Count used the Sith Heart Stun technique to put Grievous into stasis and instructed the MagnaGuards to transport him to Geonosis.
"I'm not a droid! I am General Grievous"
The crippled Grievous woke up in a bacta chamber on Geonosis. San Hill offered him the leadership of a new droid army, the largest the galaxy had ever seen, in exchange for promising to end the famine on Kali, but with the only condition - Grievous had to become a cyborg. Grievous replied that he saw no point in fighting for the Confederacy.
After the torture had no effect, the surviving wives and children of Grievous were brought to Geonosis. To save their lives, the General agreed to all the conditions of the Banking Clan, asking only to leave him his own eyes and brain.
Archduke Poggle the Lesser's scientists encased the organic part of Grievous in a duranium hull, shaped like the ancient Krath battle droids and capable of withstanding the starfighter's laser cannon. Grievous's hands had double joints and could be divided into two parts: thus, the cyborg had four three-fingered upper limbs, in each of which he was able to hold a weapon. His lower limbs were equipped with claws and shin repulsors to give him the ability to move on vertical planes. As promised, Grievous was left with his own eyes, only slightly modified to accommodate the new possibilities. The cyborg also cut out a new mask for himself, which resembled his father's mask, made from a Myumuu skull. Even the scientists of Poggle the Lesser had to modify the brain of Grievous; they removed some memories and changed his psyche.
As part of the experiment to create a cyborg Grievous, he received a blood transfusion from Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. This blood helped him survive during his transport to Geonosis and his transformation. However, the general was deeply hurt that, despite constant transfusions of blood rich in midi-chlorians, he never became Force-sensitive. But for San Hill and the Geonosis scientists, the whole experiment was an unheard-of stroke of luck.
The Earl made General Grievous Supreme Commander of the droid army and gave him his first lightsaber, once owned by the Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. Despite all the benefits of his new body, any reminder that he was part droid was an insult to Grievous.
For the first time, General Grievous had to try his hand at the Battle of Geonosis, where he defended the leaders of the Separatists from the Jedi and clones. After he killed Jedi Master Ur-Sema Du with his own hands, Count Dooku offered to teach him how to use lightsabers. Soon, the general mastered all seven classical forms of swordsmanship - up to Makashi and Juyo.
General Grievous' first public appearance was at the Battle of Hypori in 22 BBY, in which Republic forces were defeated. Seven Jedi participated in this battle, of which four survived: Ki-Adi-Mundi, and K'Kruhk. If the ARC clones under the command of Captain Fordow had arrived at the wrong time, none of the Jedi would have been able to stay alive.
Six months after the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku decided to test the general by having him fight Asajj Ventress and Durge aboard the Count's Kolka space station. Grievous easily defeated both in battle, proving himself worthy of the title of Supreme Commander.
In 20 BBY, Grievous launched a massive campaign called "Operation Durge's Spear" to take over the core worlds. Hundreds of planets along the Corellian trade route have fallen; the planet Duro was conquered, the surrender of the government of which HoloNet broadcast throughout the galaxy.
A large-scale bombardment of the planet Hambarin was carried out, as a result of which the vast majority of the inhabitants died, and the planet itself ceased to be habitable. In the Wimell Sector, General Grievous ordered the use of a bioweapon, the Loedorvian Plague, which killed almost everyone in the sector, including clones from the Republican army.
Mindful of his duty to Kali, General Grievous led an army of droids to Tovarskle, wiping out the yam'riyah population. In an attempt to protect the planet, the Jedi Puroth and Nystammal died.
During the three years of the war, the separatists captured the Bavkhar station, Nadiy, Togoria, Vandos and Belderon.
In 20 BBY, Grievous kidnapped Cyan, the Anx ambassador from Gravex Med, in order to trap the Jedi on the planet Vandos. Although Cyan managed to escape, this trap allowed Grievous to kill T'Chuk's Jedi Masters D'Un and Jmmaar. Following this, T'Chuk's Padawan D'Un Flynn Kibo and several other Jedi hunted Grievous, hoping to kill him. They found him on the moon Belsus in the Anoat system, but overestimated their strength; the Jedi Flynn Kibo and B'Dard Thawne were killed.
Seven months later, at the Battle of Boz Piti in 19 BBY, Grievous killed Jedi Sun Bates and Jedi Master Adi Gallia.
During the Second Battle of Zagoba, Grievous almost succeeded in killing the young Boba Fett, who survived by faking his own death. Also on Zagoba, Grievous killed Firkrann, one of the Iron Knights from the planet Dwym.
In 19 BBY, Darth Sidious relayed information about secret hyperspace routes to Grievous, allowing the general to lead the Confederacy of Independent Systems' fleet to Coruscant. After the battle began, Grievous led IG-100 to the planet's surface to capture Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. First, he went to the Chancellor's residence at 500 Republican Street, where he was forced to fight with. After the battle moved to the roof of the maglev train, Windu managed to throw General Grievous down. But this did not stop the general: he managed to get to the Chancellor's apartments and capture him. All of the Jedi who kept Palpatine safe were defeated: Roron Corobb, Foul Moudama, Rot-Del Mason, and Bink A'Tril died, Shaak-Ti survived.
Mace Windu, in an attempt to save the Chancellor, damaged Grievous' chest with the Force, causing significant damage to his internal organs. This greatly worsened the already poor condition of the airways and lungs of the cyborg. But, even when wounded, Grievous was able to complete his mission - to deliver the Chancellor aboard the "Invisible Hand" - his flagship.
"General Grievous... I thought you were taller" Skywalker
To save Chancellor Palpatine, Mace Windu summoned and . They were able to get to the hall in which Palpatine was, met with. Anakin Skywalker, egged on by Palpatine, killed him. After that, they released the Chancellor and tried to escape, but were trapped in one of the ship's corridors. They were taken to Grievous on the bridge of the Invisible Hand. On the bridge, the Jedi, with the help of Skywalker's droid R2-D2, killed all the MagnaGuards, forcing Grievous to flee his own ship. His escape pod was picked up by one of the Separatist ships.
After the death of Darth Tyranus, Grievous became the head of the Separatists. He withdrew his troops to the planet Utapau and invited the Confederate leaders to take refuge on the planet Mustafar. Although Nute Gunray and the others doubted Grievous's ability to be a suitable leader for them, they nevertheless obeyed his orders and left Utapau shortly before it was besieged by Republic forces.
By order of the Jedi Council, he went to Utapau. He single-handedly was able to kill several MagnaGuards and defeat Grievous in a duel. After the clones, led by Commander Cody, launched a full-scale invasion of the city of Pau, the cyborg, who lost two hands in the battle with the Jedi, tried to escape.
After a long chase, he and Obi-Wan Kenobi ended up on a small airstrip where Grievous' ship was located. There, the final battle took place, in which Grievous was killed by a blaster shot.
Following the execution of Order 66, the clones moved the remains of General Grievous and his ship, the Soulless, to one of the storage facilities on Utapau.
During the Clone Wars, General Grievous killed about a hundred Jedi. The only one who often met with him on the battlefield and could successfully resist him was Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The locals compared him to the god Demi. He fought shoulder to shoulder with Ronderu, a female master swordsman. After her death, he became known as Grievous, which means mournful.
14. Darth Sidious ordered the explosion of the shuttle Grievous
Grievous and his people needed financial help, so Dooku was sent to the Intergalactic Banking Clan. The head of the clan agreed to provide money if Grievous led the droid army. Therefore, the shuttle was blown up, and the Jedi were the culprits.
13 His Blood Was Mixed With That Of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas
At the time of the explosion, Dooku was ready to restore Grievous' vitality through a cardiac arrest technique and mixing with frozen Jedi blood to stabilize him before arriving on Geonosis. According to some, Grievous became force-sensitive after this.
12 He Killed About 50 Jedi
Grievous hated the Jedi for that story with the shuttle and for his iron body. He became a slave to the separatists ─ full of vengeance and hatred. Violent hatred led to the deaths of 49 Jedi, featured in " star wars ah the legends. In the film, before he was killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was caught killing one Jedi, but portrayed that he killed more because of his lightsaber collection.

Kalishas have scaly, reddish-brown skin that covers their bodies. As Kalishi, General Grievous had four claws on his hand and five clawed feet. He could see in the dark thanks to thermal pits under his eyes and had long ears with nostrils extended.
10 Count Dooku Thought He Was Nasty
Dooku and Palpatine considered humans to be the superior race of the galaxy, looking up to droids and aliens. Since General Grievous was both, he was considered by the elite to be a lower class citizen. According to Dooku, Grievous was nothing more than a droid and an abomination.
General Grievous also hated Dooku - at least at first - due to his attitude towards him, but respected him as a master due to his fighting ability and skill with a sword. Through the training and teachings of Darth Tyranus, he learned to use lightsabers like no other weapon he had ever used before.
9 He Wasn't Force Sensitive
General Grievous was neither a Jedi, nor a Sith, nor a human sensitive to the force. His skill with the four Jedi blades came from his training with Darth Tyranus.

In the books, Grievous was powerful, ruthless, and a brilliant strategist who would do whatever was necessary to win a war. The version of Lucas we see on film is powerful but weak, manipulative but fearful. Even his famous battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi, he runs first, rather than corner the Jedi and force him to fight.
6. He was voiced by George Lucas
George Lucas wanted to give Grievous a weakness, but didn't know what. At the time of filming, Lucas was suffering from a cold and cough. It was a great opportunity to voice Grievous. The coughing and wheezing was then intensified to sound more robotic and metal-like, but its origin was natural. George wasn't sure if he was going to use the tapes first, he just liked how it turned out.
5. Gary Oldman turned down the voice of Grievous
Oldman is best known for his role as Sirius Black in the series "Harry Potter" and James Gordon in the trilogy "The Dark Knight". Gary wanted to voice Grievous, but at the last moment he refused. The voice recording was made without members of the Actors Guild.
4 Sun Hill Funded And Created The Cyborg Body Of General Grievous
Sun Hill was a Mann who looked a lot like Darth Plague but had nothing to do with him. As chairman of the Interstate Banking Clan, he provided the money needed for the war and served as a financial representative on the Separatist Council. The cyborg suit he funded incorporated Grievous' brain and eyes into an alloy body similar to a military droid. Hill then had his vitals housed in a synthskin tie, as well as memories of Grievous.
3 Mace Windu Worsened Grievous' Cough
After Grievous kidnapped Senator Palpatine from his Jedi protectors, Mace Windu forcefully crushed the ribs surrounding Grievous' inner lung sac before Grievous and Palpatine boarded his ship. It damaged his lungs, making the coughing and wheezing much, much worse.
2. Grievous hated his new body
Grievous was a proud warrior of Kalish who was trained in the art of war. He hated his new body, which was 70% iron. He even took the title of Supreme Commander of the droid armies as an insult.

1. Thrawn had a Grievous mask in his collection.
From the books of Thrawn (Legends) and the rebels "Star Wars" It can be seen that Grand Admiral Thrawn has collected various artifacts and art objects. He basically did this to understand his enemy - to research his culture to understand how he would defend or attack during a battle.
Thrawn also enjoyed collecting stories that had meaning and power. For this reason, adding the Cyborg Grievous mask to his collection was both exciting and honorable.
What do you know about the character? Write in the comments.
The film was voiced by Matthew Wood. According to the DVD, George Lucas instructed his creative team to create an enemy that foreshadowed Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader: heavy breathing, a cyborg body, and his seduction to the side of evil.
Despite his appearance, General Grievous was very dangerous with lightsabers, taking them from his own slain Jedi. Combined with his cybernetic body, able to wield five lightsabers at once (one of which he wielded with his foot, the other for balance) he became a deadly adversary for the Jedi.
Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
His first mission was in Attack of the Clones, but he didn't leave anyone alive so no one could tell about him. In the opening cutscene of Revenge of the Sith, it is explained that General Grievous and Count Dooku have kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine and are holding him hostage. Grievous is confronted by the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who have fallen on his flagship, the Invisible Hand. They are trapped in the damper beams and taken to the command bridge. Anakin and Obi-Wan are freed from captivity, but Grievous jumps into space and hits an escape pod, leaving the Jedi and the Chancellor trapped on the crashing cruiser.
The General heads to the nearest Trade Federation ship, where he orders his army to retreat. He travels to the planet Utapau, where the Separatist Council was located. After the death of Count Dooku at the hands of Skywalker, General Grievous became the leader of the Confederacy. Darth Sidious orders him to move the Separatist leaders to the volcanic planet Mustafar. Shortly after their departure, Master Kenobi arrives and General Grievous begins to fight him in front of an army of battle droids. Obi-Wan manages to cut off two of his four arms, but Grievous escapes on a four-armed spinning vehicle. At this time, a skirmish between the 212th Assault Battalion and the Separatist droids begins. Kenobi, on his pet Bogo, chases Grievous across the battlefield, and due to an explosion from the clones, loses his lightsaber. As a result, he finds the general near his starship. Grievous tries to shoot Kenobi, but Kenobi manages to knock the rifle out of his hands with the electric staff. Obi-Wan manages to open the plates on his opponent's chest, gaining access to his internal organs. Grievous goes berserk and throws him to the edge of the platform, grabbing an electrostaff to kill the Jedi. Thoth, exhausted from the fight and only able to hold on to the edge of the platform, uses the Force to draw his rifle.
He fires five shots at Grievous' body. The General's organs light up, and he begins to burn from the inside. Fire bursts from the eye sockets of his mask, then he finally falls dead.
There are 2 scenario explanations for why Grievous has lung problems:
The first reason was that the technology of cyborgization was still imperfect, and his transformation into a cyborg was an important step forward.
The second reason was the damage to Grievous' chest by Mace Windu during the Battle of Coruscant (in the second season of the Clone Wars cartoon) there is a coughing Grievous.
Grievous' cough itself is inspired by George Lucas's cold, who found it interesting to add a new element to the character's image.
