He needs to kick more ass. I get that he'd have to cheat against top tier Jedi. But I want some fodder. Two or three Jedi that go to take him down and he just slaughters them. Plain ol' outmaneuvering. Allegedly, he's a better combatant than Ventress.
Is his cybernetic enhanced speed supposed to be a match to, or greater than Jedi/Sith precog? That aside from his overall swordsmanship (or lightsabremanship).
If so, I'd imagine some droids would be able to handle themselves well against Jedi, instead of just being little more than light obstacles, as they're made to be.
Well, they did try to fix that by showing the "trophies" in this episode, but it doesn't jive with the images. Grievous is ALWAYS shown failing and running away and they haven't even mentioned his kills when he's not on screen.
Int the gendy series, he took on FIVE jedi at once, including sitting and future council members. He killed TWO of them, in addition to Master Barreck. In the first episode of season 3, the council even mentions that "he's changing the face of the war."
In this series, Grievous can't even effectively take Ashoka. Even the "trophies" that Nahdar mentioned look like nothign more than padawan tails...and...has anyone ever complained that he's killed Jedi in the show? I cant remeber.
