So. why don't the Jedi just kill Grievous with The Force?

Yeah, I was thinking that Grievous' claws (which can be magnetized?) keeps him from just being flung around like its nothing.

I don't think they're magnatised, it's more a case of, they can grip and so he can climb much like a cat climbs a tree...with it's claws digging into whatever surface they're attached to

In Labyrinth of Evil, it is said they're magnetized when he uses them to fight Mace Windu atop a moving maglev train.

I was just watching the duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan, and at one point they're crossing some thin pipes attacking each other while trying to maintain balance. A well time Force push would have been handy there, I think.

I think pretty much every Force power is typically forgotten when it most makes sense to use them (Obi-Wan using Force speed to catch up with Qui-Gon and Maul), and then they are used when necessary for plot advancement (Maul pushing Obi-Wan into the pit).

In one of the Clone Wars episodes, three jedi, including Shaak Ti, attempt to push Greivous but he dodges all of their attempts.

I thought I read somewhere that Kenobi used Force Speed when trying to catch up with Maul and Jinn.

Ok, thn i guess they're magnatised. I've not read Labyrinth of Evil...not thought about buying the book yet

Actually quite enjoyable.

Another thought... using the Force usually requires concentration. What if they do not have the time to create enough power to hold Grievous still?

Surely they would prepare themselves for Grievous.

They have no hesitation in attack - especially with sabers.

I am still unsure as to why one does not use the force to kill him, without engaging in saber combat.

I've put it down to the average Jedi not having the ability to. That and they'd be hesitant to use such lethal and destructive power for fear of the Dark Side.

But the sabers they use can cut through pretty much anything. This is surely as lethal and destructive as many of the Force moves.

The saber just takes a movement of the limbs. To summon the Force to kill someone takes the proper mentality. The Jedi would need to want to kill them, which as we all know is very un-Jedily and lead to the Dark Side.

What about this:

?

Yeah I was thinking of that when I was writing. Such a gay plot device. Guess it turns out that Plo Koon's a dick.

Mace could force crush him?

Also, if Grevious coughs, doesn't that mean he can be choked? Or at least have his mechanical breathing tube crumpled?

Yes.

I wish that Lucas had at least made him Force capable.

Or at least Force-resistant.

Didn't Grevious have Master Sifo Dyas blood running through his veins? I wonder what that was about? He had midichlorians in his blood stream iirc.

I think they tried to make him Force Sensitive but it failed.

Though I recall some speculation that it perhaps helped keep him alive (or heal faster?).

Meh.

I thought of that. I would just push him around making sure he could not come near me, and work the claws out. Once he has loses grip, just once, I have him, and I get to take him back to the temple with me.

Or maybe I would just steal his sabers.

If they are powerful enough, they could simply rip him out of the ground, cement chunks and all that..

then bang him around the walls, ceiling or w/e was there. or crush him. Actually I think sith would be pleased dealing with GG because they get to have some fun.

Ya!

That's what I thought.

He would be a Sidious play toy!
