Only then will you ensure victory and have your trophy.” You must break them before you engage them. But if any one element is lacking, it would be best for you to retreat. If you are to succeed in combat against the best of the Jedi, you must have fear, surprise, and intimidation on your side. It has awarded me many trophies.”Ĭount Dooku: “Don’t let your pursuit of trinkets cloud your reality.
When Dooku sees it, he queries: “A new one?” To which, Grievous replies: “Your training has served me well. Then, he knocks it out of Grievous’ hand, to which Count Dooku comments: “Now, too lightly.” Grievous leaps up and attacks again.Ĭount Dooku: “Faster, destroy my focus! You’re holding the saber too tightly….” Then, Grievous charges again, and Count Dooku uses the Force to send him skidding into some barrels. The next time we see him, he is sparring with Count Dooku, practicing his light saber skills:Ĭount Dooku: “Stop using the standard attacks Use the unorthodox!”Ĭount Dooku: “How often must I tell you? Control my central line!” They are only able to fend him off with the assistance of a Republic attack gunship also firing away at him! While Ki-Adi-Mundi is able to hold him off a little bit, he is saved when ARC troopers show up and begin blasting away at General Grievous. When Shaak-Ti goes to force pull a light saber, General Grievous is able to not only to stop it and to grasp it, but also to wield it as a third light saber with one of his legs. He then is able to push away Ki-Adi-Mundi, fighting with Shaak-Ti, until she is thrown against a pillar. His incredibly surprising entrance was that he was ably handling not only Jedi, but multiple Jedi!

His appearance at the tail end of season 2 was a shocking jolt to viewers, who had come to expect that the Jedi were capable of handling any foe, whether it was Durge in season 1 or Asajj Ventress in season 2.
