Where is Grievous?

i think grevious will be 100% CG

i hope he uses all four lightsabers on obiwan. that would be the highlight of the movie for me. (well, except for the duel, battle of kashyyyk, jedi temple purge, sidious vs yoda, mace vs anakin, opening space battle, battle of utapau and every other single saber fight on screen) 😛

grievous is completely cgi.

Sure wouldnt make sense if he wasnt😉

i totally agree with morridini and mist about not seeing grievous until the film is out that would make such a huge impact seeing him for the first time up on the big screen , i wish palpatine hadnt been in the trailer like he was too you know for the same reason , but ..... whadda ya gunna do ?

also did anyone else hear the rumors about john rhys davies (spelling??) doing grievous' voice , i reckon hed do it well , a sort of mix between vaders mechanical sounding voice and treebeards (lord of the rings) deep booming voice , which jrd did 2 btw , that would sound pretty killer imo

So Gimli might be Grievous? Interesting.

i dunno he gave an interview a while back and he dropped the word grievous suspiciously when asked about his next movie ... apparantley

i just had a look and found this at AICN c/ theforce.net

Gimli to take over for Beethoven on STAR WARS EPISODE 3: REVENGE OF THE SITH?
Hey folks, Harry here -- we've been hearing the news of Gary Oldman exiting stage left on George Lucas due to his grievances regarding George's SAG violations, and due to those grevious issues, he felt unable to continue with Grevious.... But one grumpy dwarf later and all is well? We'll see...
Hey, long time reader, first time (et cetera).

Sorry to bug you with something you've probably already gotten 60 emails about, but since you haven't published it yet, I thought I should let you know.

Many residents of Brisbane, Australia (myself included) recently got the chance to meet, Sean Astin, John Rhys-Davies (Sliders, Lord of the Rings) and Penny Johnson Jerald (24, Star Trek: DS9), amongst others, at the Brisbane Supanova sci-fi convention.

I (like most people) went to meet Samwise Gangee, but the most interesting thing happened during Rhys-Davies' session. Someone asked if he would be doing any more voice work after playing Treebeard in LotR, or something along those lines. He said:

"I'm doing some next month, in fact. Let's say the working conditions are ...Grevious."

Now I'm not sure if that's an exact quote, but he certainly did drop that last word. He seemed to give a little wiggle of the eyebrows too, though it might just be my imagination. Not sure if many others picked up on it, but I heard people talking about it at university this morning. Word travels fast, I guess. And if it means what I think it means.... wow.

Gary Oldman, eat your heart out ^_^

Hope this helps,

EP3: More on Grievous' Voice
Wed, Sep 22, 04 10:31:38 AM EST

Cynical_Dog writes in to TFN with more on the Gary Oldeman/John Rhys-Davies switch over General Grievous. The story first broke yesterday.
I can confirm that John Rhys-Davies dropped the word "Grievous" at the Brisbane sci-fi con last Sunday. Believe me, it wasn't just a throwaway comment. He put a lot of emphasis on the word, complete with a fantastic dramatic pause. "The conditions are, shall we say ...Grievous". Pure genius.
At a very rough guess, I'd say about 20-30 people would have heard the comment. How many picked up on the subtext is anyone's guess, but by the end of the day it seemed like the news had travelled all around the showgrounds. I'm surprised it took more than 3 hours to find its way online.

Anyway, I really, really hope this is true and he wasn't just messing with the fans' minds. I was kind of hoping Mark Hammil would get the gig, but the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Gimli playing the melodramatic villain role. It's not like this would be his first appearance in a George Lucas film...

I wonder if Grievous will do any of the moves he used in the cartoon? They were really cool; doing a handstand and holding his sabres with his feet, backflips, crushing his foes skulls with his feet, spinning his torso and hands like buzzsaws etc.

I hope Grievous is 100% invisible.
What a joke he/it is.
This films going to be jam packed full of the characters we know and love kicking **** out of each other.
WHY WHY WHY did GL need to invent another baddy? And such a pony one at that

ive heard rumors that christopher walkins will be doing the voice overs......." i have i fever, and the only perscription that can relieve me.....is killing you obi wan!

I'd wet my pants if Mark Hamill got to do the voice. Have you heard his Joker? PURE EVIL.

he does....impressions.

What? No not impressions silly person.

He actually did the voice of the Joker in the Batman Animated Series, and has been critically acclaimed as being one of the most accurate chracterisations in a voice over ever heard.

Also, on the subject of Greivous not being in the trailer - I didn't even notice he wasn't there. Do we really need him? I mean, the movie is on fire with the whole Anakin story alone.

They could have done with Grievous in Eps 1 or 2, or all three movies, but not now, there are just TOO MANY things going on.

i really dont think that hes going to be that big of a character or to the plot.

I think it would have been most fantastic if Hamill had been given the job. Kind of a cool tie in. Oh well so it goes. I personally dont see the need for yet another bad guy myself.

he'll be significantly small soo we'll se.

People go on WAYYY too much saying "Why did GL create Grievous?"

GL created ONE thing- a droid commander, to give the defeat of the Confederacy an exciting finale. He just wanted a head droid. All he gave to the Design department was "Make me a droid commander, please."

Eventually they created General Grievous- but it is marketing and the EU that has turned him into this uber-villain on a par with the Darths and so forth.

In fact, he is only an incidental villain, like Gunray. He just so happens to be rather hard, and to have been blown out of proportion by hype. Kinda like Fett, really; Grievous fills in the 'action bad guy' role that Jango did before.
