Grievous / Sifo-Dias
I decided to create this thread for a couple of reasons: firstly, it could spark some interesting, out-of-the-box speculation, and secondly it's something that i believe could actually be feasible (although highly unlikely)
anyway, at the expense of being flambe'd, here goes...
Grievous = Sifo-Dias
We all know that Dooku is a pawn, and not necessarily the one who erased Kamino from the archives. Sifo-Dias has been dead for 10+ years, and other than orderering the clones, we know nothing of him. While walking back from getting my morning coffee, i thought what if Grievous was Sifo, died, then was mechanically brought back to life (i.e. Vader) i thought it might be an interesting take on the fact that Grievous may have been some sort of cyber-human experiment preceding Vader. How else could Sideous have the facilities/idea to save Vader?
Dooku serves as a diversion (separitist) while Sideous, still pissed at the death of Maul, tries to create a replacement until Anakin is old enough and all the pieces are in place. While not necessarily breaking the rule of 2, Grievous' technology and saber skills could be used for the sole purpose of eliminating a good number of jedi.
Anyway, you see where I'm going with this, and it's really just talk, so go easy on me. I know i'm looking waaaaay too deeply into this, but I thought it might be something different to talk about...
