Is general greivous a prototype of Darth Vader?

hang on now

lets listen to what you are all saying....

ok now lets just get this straight. If Grievious was indeed the prototype/test case for Vader then Sidious knew all long that Obi would hack Vader up and leave his body a crispy mess on the banks of the lava river.

what complete rubbish

1- Palpy already owned Vaders soul, sending him to get crispy fried would make no sense

2- In the novel or the audio book or something doesn't Palpy 'run' to his ship when he senses Vader is in trouble?

There are bound to be more points than this but two is a start. There is no way Sidious knew what would happen to Anakin so there would be no reason for him to 'need' a prototype

Remeber the force is now leaning towards the darkside, the sith. The jedi's visions is clouded because of this, and they cannot see into the future. Remember i nEp II, when in palpatines chamber he ask master Yoda, " Master yoda, do you think it will come to war?" here, it is clear that palpatine is questionings the Jedis vision into the future and palpatine is attempting to gain insight of the possibilty of 'WAR" which he already clearly sees the outcome as yes, he still asks Yoda. Yoda who replys, " Difficult to see the future is, clouded it has become" Before Palpatines rise as Chacellor the Jedi's still had the force vision ability to peek into the future. But clouded it has become, implies it once was not clouded, Remember clouded his future is. they are unable to see the future and Palpatine see it clearly. As fore Greivous being the prototype, please read entire thread ! Others have provided textual facts backing this up! Thanks ed
