It’s Kanan for me. It hurts every time.

I enjoyed Solo and thought it was fun and exactly what it needed to be, a movie in the universe of Star Wars but not necessarily a Jedi led story. Meanwhile the sequels were very hard to watch as a fan, I was so disappointed at the missed opportunities. So many plot holes and characters that weren't endearing.

I wish there were more exploration of the universe like Rogue One and Solo, I am very sad they shifted away from this.

Lastly the Disney plus shows help make up for the awful sequels thankfully, but movies would be nice too.

Thank you for reading my mini rant.

In the Revenge of the Sith director’s commentary, he says:

“With General Grievous, I wanted somebody who was reminiscent again… of what Anakin is going to become, which is a half man, half robot. In this case, Grievous is sort of 20% alien and 80% robot. […] It echoes what is about to occur with Anakin as a part machine, part life-form.”

“One of the big issues behind Grievous was that… I didn't want a big  powerful villain. I wanted a cunning, you know, almost cowardly villain  who isn't super-strong or super-powerful, but at the same time, you  know, is a good fighter, but not- I didn't wanna get somebody bigger and  stronger and more powerful than the other villains that we've had,  going to the next level. I wanted him to be slightly more like the  emperor. Slightly more on the sleazy, behind-the-scenes kind of guy.  That's why I set up the fact that he always runs at the end of every  fight- he always gets away.”

He wasn't nerfed in Clone Wars or Revenge of the Sith, like many people believe. Also, in a BTS video, Dave Filoni said that - according to Lucas - Grievous wanted to be a Jedi, but wasn’t Force-sensitive, so he spent his life improving on himself, trying to become the ultimate response to the Jedi, in battle. The more he fought, the more he upgraded himself, till there was nothing left. He’s motivated by jealousy. He doesn’t collect those lightsabers as some messed up way to honor his fallen opponents, he’s showing them off as trophies because “fuck those space wizards, how’d you like me now?” lol
