This whole scene in the old animated series was absolutely perfect! He took on 7 jedi, killed 3 mortally wouldn't 3 more, and nearly killed the last if not for Captain Fordo and his men coming in to save them. But it didn't stop there, Grievous tore through he Clones, dodged their gunship, and stood victorious as the Jedi and Clones fled. Grievous was his best in the animated series. He only ran when necessary, he could kill every Jedi he engaged in a duel, and he actually was a terrifying Jedi killer. This Grievous was the best Grievous, hands down.
My favorite version of Grevious and his best entrance. The buildup, tension, and execution was perfectly flawless. That, and his speech before confronting the Jedi head on, “Jedi! You are surrounded, your armies desecrated! Make peace with the Force now for this is your final hour! But know that I, General Grevious, am not completely without mercy. I will grant you a warriors death! Prepare!” That is worthy of a chef’s kiss.
After all maybe he lost his memories and eventually left Hypori eventually coming to earth and changing his name to shaggy, secret origin of the Scooby Doo character
George: Make Grievous a Jedi killer and could wield 4 lightsabers at the same time. Also George: Grievous is a coward who runs away everytime from a fight.
You can't deny Mundi was a badass : he was literally the last man standing by the end of the battle of Hypori, and gave Grievous maybe his first proper fight
He was always my favorite growing up, I definitely feel there was a reason he was station with the galactic marines, he was basically just obi wan with a statistically bigger head and thus statistically worse defense lol the closer his head was to obi wans the more likely I find his survival. For real though he actually is the opposite he charges in almost every fight he’s in so I could see how he’d catch him off guard!
@@ic4192 nah, he's being shat on by everyone for no reason, his bad rep isn't deserved, it's wild exagerations/misinterpretations of the stories he's in
I've been waiting SO LONG for this video. The battle that introduced us to the General Grievous as the walking slaughterhouse he was supposed to and deserves to be.
I think I was 9 years old when that episode of Clone Wars premiered on Cartoon Network in April 2004. I think I had nightmares when I went to sleep because of how terrifying General Grievous was. Also the soundtrack for that scene by James L. Venable and Paul Dinletir was (and still is) epic. It may not be canon, but OG Clone Wars made Grievous the villain that Star Wars fans deserve.
It's so cool to see grevious as an unstoppable, inescapable force for once, instead of a bumbling and inept coward (Like he's often portrayed in the Clone Wars). Makes a lot more sense why Dooku and Palpatine put up with him for so long.
And to think Hypori would be so notable that Empire at War: Forces of Corruption makes it the location of the Droideka Mk. II factory and Jabba's failed trap against Tyber Zann, all while in the Alt-universe, it was notable for being a reason why Galen Erso and Orson Krennic wanted to make the first Death Star, as mentioned in the Catalyst tie-in novel for Rogue One.
James Luceno really sold himself short on that novel, he originally wanted to make complete history of the Death Star in his usual style tying a lot of lore together, but he had to cut down the novel to just a brief period of time.
korok is the ultimat surviver. he survied Hypori, later on he saved a group of younglings during order 66 and later on joined lukes jedi order. he later on survived the rule of one sith with darth kraith and his followers and the destruction of the jedi order at the time (not sure to what extenct the destruction was) and afther kraith was dead he helped reviewing the jedi order once more and i think he was the grandmaster. that is the last we hear about him because of disney bought the rights to star wars not long afther this event
Well Grievous said K'Kruhk was interminable. And suddenly I imagine this Ki-Adi: "Brave K'kruhk, you shall not have died in vain!" K'kruhk: "Actually, I'm not quite dead, Master Mundi." Ki-Adi: "...well, you shall not have been mortally wounded in vain." K'kruhk: "I think I can pull through." Ki-Adi: "Oh I see."
Lol for those who don’t actually know, his name wasn’t really ‘Sha’a Gi’. That was just an older joke made out his coincidental similarity to Shaggy from Scooby-Doo in appearance
Ya know for how important he’s made to be and with how big a threat the cis were said to be this is a much more consistent version of grievous and the cis we are told about when compared to the joke that they were in the canonical show.
This this is the real grievous not the clone wars grievous who always loses and runs away in defeat, so glad to see he's finally getting his flowers. Prayers with the jedi willing to f around and find out!
This is what Grievous should’ve been, rather than the coughing parody we got later. These original Clone Wars animated media and Matthew Stover’s Revenge of the Sith novel are the only media that actually show how terrifying and competent Grievous was. He’s been portrayed as an incompetent, emotional fool in everything since he was portrayed that way in Episode III.
Grevious made a very horrific first appearance to the Republic considering at the Republic was winning the war at the time, and without Grevious the Confederacy would have fallen in the first year of the war.
And this is why Sha'a Gi should be working at Space Waffle House. Despite that these restaurants can rivaled the battlefields in the Clones Wars on so many occasions, the guards who are powered by waffles like Sha'a Gi can always defeated the troublemakers.
Captain Fordo is my favorite, as I'm sure he is with many. Sees that jedi with lightsabers can't kill him? Don't bother getting close. He's dodging blasterfire? Time to call in a gunship rocket strike INSIDE A BUILDING.
Seriously??? His red shirt spacey Padawan's name is Sha Ghi otherwise known as Shaggy on a certain Saturday morning cartoon when I was a kid. What is the name of this aspiring Jedi & stoner's home planet Skubi?
This wasn't a battle. This was a massacre. And because no clone troopers survived, this has to be the most disastrous and bloodiest battle. Battles like Umbara, Jabiim, or other costly battles could barely compare to the meat grinder that was the battle of Hypori.
Grievous was once my favourite character until the clone wars series made him a moustache twirling villain who always flees and gets defeated by freaking gungans. Clone wars is a good series, but really can't stand how they massacred characters like grievous and count Dooku.
Disney only made season 7... George and filoni where in charge of seasons 1-6. You can blame them all you want for nerfing grievous and i wouldn't blame you but they were trying to make the clone wars a children's show so some sacrifices needed to be made. What really pisses me off is that George and filoni got rid of independent mandalorians and are now trying to make deathwatch "normal mandalorians"
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly cartoon grievous is defeneitly far more scary than animated grievous thats for sure. you realy see him bringing real terror on the battle field. you can defenitly see the two shows beeing aimed at different age groupes :) both shows are good but you cant beat the grievous from the early show thats for sure.
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly wasn't the microseries for kids too though? If they just had the patience to not habe grievous go against plot armored characters all the time there was a great deal more they could do with him instead of straying so far from what was established. I understand filoni's choices, even George's on his character, but i'll never agree with them
Ah, yes the terrifying introduction of the confederacy most fearsome and ruthless military mind whom terrorised and devastated the planets of the republic and its military forces alike in equal measure
Old School Chad Grievous > New Loser Grievous. Still remember when in a star wars rpg during the clone wars, we the players ran into Grievous... there was only one thing to do... charge him! and almost have a full party wipe.
I truly hate I would have viewed Grievous as the lesser of two evils and would lose everything because of this lose, lose option. Kind of sad since I often support third parties but when reduced to two options I like to try and minimize damage
Don't think backtoid was a genosion company. But a subsidiary company. Backtiod armour workshop. ( a genosion) company. But it was techo union. Or Republic. .
His human Shag-gy and it even looked like him!? Why is Shaggy from Scooby Doo in a Star Wars comic!? Also I don't know who drew that animated series you show but it looks like dog crap

This was a General Grevious that you needed to be afraid of. I wish we got to see more of this version of him in the Clone Wars.
we definitely got a good bit of that in the 2003 series, just sad it didnt carry over to TCW :(
Yeah George Lucas said he wanted grevious to be the mustache twirling bad guy who makes a mess then runs away
@@hgill257 one of George's flawed ideas i'd say. He has a few.

Careful. You're getting drool on the floor. :P
He only tore through 3 or 4 of them. Devastating still, since they’re ARC troopers, but it’s not like he won

It's properly known as 'al bacio' anyway.
@@EmperorOfTheScrubs He was still fairly well portrayed in RotS. He was wounded after Mace crushed his chestplate

He was the Star Wars equivalent of the Predator in that series.
"Run, Jedi, run. You have only prolonged the inevitable." - General Grievous
And he was right
We all know the legendary Shaa’gi was just playing with grievous, he obviously survived
After all maybe he lost his memories and eventually left Hypori eventually coming to earth and changing his name to shaggy, secret origin of the Scooby Doo character
Shaggy memes are dumb
George: Make Grievous a Jedi killer and could wield 4 lightsabers at the same time.

George has a habit of wasting cool designs
I reall like George butt this annoys me about him.

Can’t believe Grievous took on the mighty Sha’a Gi
Just imagine if they made a Grievous horror movie. Animate it like 2003 and it would be perfection.
Trying to imagine it not animated but it don’t feel right
Don't really like the animation style. Very overated.

im not ypour mother last night
unexpectedd hellsing abridged reference
Lol for those who don’t actually know, his name wasn’t really ‘Sha’a Gi’. That was just an older joke made out his coincidental similarity to Shaggy from Scooby-Doo in appearance
hypori
who ever named that planet probablly wanted to say Hyperion (That famous Sci-Fi that predated starwars, Hyperion Cantos)
but got cut of halfway
Or he was hyped for General Grievous
Ya know for how important he’s made to be and with how big a threat the cis were said to be this is a much more consistent version of grievous and the cis we are told about when compared to the joke that they were in the canonical show.
It takes someone of true power to defeat Shaggy in hand-to-hand combat
Man the Hypori episode was awesome, and that was the real General Grevious.
This this is the real grievous not the clone wars grievous who always loses and runs away in defeat, so glad to see he's finally getting his flowers. Prayers with the jedi willing to f around and find out!
You gotta hand to grievous he knows how to make an entrance
The thing is, while It's great from a film-making perspective, It's also an important part of his strategy to demoralize the jedi.
Would've been great if we got a Cell Shaded 2D Grievous skin in Battlefront.
Grievous is a lean mean fighting machine!
This is what Grievous should’ve been, rather than the coughing parody we got later. These original Clone Wars animated media and Matthew Stover’s Revenge of the Sith novel are the only media that actually show how terrifying and competent Grievous was. He’s been portrayed as an incompetent, emotional fool in everything since he was portrayed that way in Episode III.
Very overhyped quite frankly.
And a decade later he's remembered as a God amongst his people. Truly 🫡
If you're looking for other Clone Wars battles to talk about, how about the Battle of Murkhana or the Third Battle of Tythe.
Grevious made a very horrific first appearance to the Republic considering at the Republic was winning the war at the time, and without Grevious the Confederacy would have fallen in the first year of the war.
Grievous is weak in Revenge of the Sith (in the deleted scenes he is SAVAGE)
Grievous as he should be. The 2003 jedi killing machine version.
Overlooking the fact the 2003 series exaggerated various characters abilities.
The Senate’s power is nightmare fuel for his enemies.
4:20
what a coincidence
I'm sure that wasn't planned
totally by random chance and not planned
This version of grievous is the best, able to destroy the mighty Sha'a Gi at full power...
"Shag-ii" looks like shaggy from Scooby do and literally named like him 🤣 how'd I just now notice
Chad EU Legends Grievous vs Virgin Disney Grievous.
Star Wars The Clone Wars was released since 2008 and the purchased happened in 2012. So Grievous was still Grievous until 2011 or 2012.
George and filoni nerfed him for the clone wars "childrens" show.
I loved that seen from the clone wars seeing grievous just slaughter the Jedi was such an amazing part!!! Watched it again and again as a kid
Which was a worse loss for the Republic: The Battle of Mizra, The Battle of Sarrish, or The Battle of Hypori?
Seriously, does every Geetsly's video have 1.6k likes? I'd expect them to have more.
Wait, are you seriously telling me that dude's name is Sha'a Gi, and he looks like Shaggy? 😂

When your fighting general Grevious at 11 but have to solve a mistory at 12pm Shag ga
General Grievous crushed Shaggy with only 0.000001% of his power.
Sha’a Gi deserved better :,(
Talk about a killer first impression. Grevious' debut was terrifying

Awesome. I love hearing the back story to this scene
Poor Shaggy, he only died cuz Scooby wasn't there to save him.

This was just when someone survived fighting Grievous. He was in the war since Geonosis and there he slaughtered everyone he encountered
Absolutely love this geetsly
I love George Lucas. I think he was a great filmmaker. But ret-conning Grievous was titanically stupid.

This was a great video. They need to make Clone Wars 03 official Canon. It doesn't really contradict the CW CGI Series
They reference events in some of the books.
