Agreed - In a strict lightsaber only contest, Grievous would probably overwhelm Starkiller.

2:58.
Sith Starkiller isn't very impressive. Especially not in sabers. All out will go to Starkiller but it won't be the rapestomp everyone thinks it will be.
Apart from Windu's hax Force Crush, Grievous was pretty much unstoppable in the Clone Wars Animated Series (which I see as the true version of him since he's a complete wimp and tool in the new show).
If Marek was fighting that, it certainly wouldn't be a curbstomp. If he was fighting the one in the new show, or ROTS Grievous, it would be a "rapestomp."
The CGI show takes precedence. It's already begun retelling events from the anime in its own format. The animation also features "exaggerated" powers and movements from the Jedi that are never seen of them again (not even TFU boasts their skills). Grievous' accent has inexplicably been changed from metallic American to his standard Russian. The cough he gained in 19 BBY from Mace is now present at least two years earlier, with no origin given (within the show).
I see the CGI show as being something of a replacement for the 2002 anime.
Yeah I agree, I think the intention was for the new series to replace the old one. Lucas always said the original CWmini was a "test run" to see if there would be interest and an audience..
Also If I remember correctly I think we saw a flashback of "when Ventress met Dooku" in the new animation and that seemed different to the CWMini version.

Yeah, the animation was "exaggerated," but I think it was more representative of Jedi powers than the movies. I mean, Jedi Knights are supposed to be these guardians of the galaxy with incredible reflexes and an ability to harness the Force. For the amount of rigorous training that's placed upon them, I would expect them to perform ridiculous feats and be heads and shoulders above anyone else. Yes, it was stated as an "exaggeration," but I didn't think it was as far-fetched as it was made to be.
[On a side note, IMO, I feel the fight scenes in the Bioware Old Republic trailers depict Jedi perfectly]
And the new series is garbage. In 2008, IGN ranked the new series 89th in the 100 greatest animated series of all time. The original CW was ranked 21.

I don't think its that exaggerated either. I mean, in Shatterpoint Mace encounters a large landslide. He says he cant control all of it with his power, but if Yoda were there he would stop the entire landslide(or something to that effect). Stopping that landslide would have been more impressive than Yoda lifting a couple ships and smashing them into eachother, imo.

Uh, that's still a pretty ringing endorsement. Not as good, but still has a lot going for it, more like.
It's an encouraging endorsement, thought it was higher than Rugrats and FMA (hopefully FMA:Brotherhood was ranked somewhere higher), which made me lose some slight faith in the list, since those two are way better than the new series.
New series is quite popular.
Okay fine, maybe I was quite harsh. It's a decent show and it has cool animation and entertaining battles. However, there are a lot of flaws, including the portrayal of villains, some of the story arcs, Ahsoka Tano, the random continuity conflicts, and the somewhat repetitive nature of the show.

How can an alchemist be full of metal? He would just turn himself in to gold.
He wouldn't quite do alchemy on himself, would he then?
If you haven't seen the show, you should. Nepthys has the right idea- it's way better than Star Wars: The Clone War.
Though NT is right, you can't really compare them.
