Grevious literally says that he was trained by Dooku in the movies, nigger.

What about the (at least) four jedi he killed to get those lightsabers?
>>
>>64157761
It was even more retarded than Finn, though. Finn was just a guy who ended up wielding a light saber through circumstance. He would have preferred a blaster.

Grievous was fucking general. He was supposed to be the master strategist of the separatist army or something. He thought going head to head against Jedi using their own weapons was a good idea? He was insane. Pants on head retarded.

But Grevious constantly killed jedi
This was stated in almost every piece of clone wars media

Seriously though if he used a blaster in each hand and shot Obi Wan simultaneously he would've won
>>
>>64157813
He is not a normal person but he still had four fucking arms full of lightsabers while Obi-Wan had only wan simple lightsaber. And Four-arm still had training with Count Dooku who manages to stand against Yoda.

>implying Kylo Ren is an 'actual Jedi'
That's the only solid argument.

Makes you think if Luke is actually a capable Jedi now or Snoke a powerful villain.

a retard cooks your burgers too. so what.

Yeah but he could have fled while using four blaster miniguns to cover his escape or something

GTFO with EU or cartoon canon bullshit.
>>
>>64158048

if a couple of droidekas don't do much to slow a jedi's advance that wouldn't either

Obi Wan was sent on an assassin mission to take him out, Grievous would have happily stayed behind the lines else

why is a non force user using a lightsaber a big deal anyway, shouldn't anyone who has training in melee weaponry be proficient with it, in the end it's just a sword

You mean specifically Obi-wan, because Grievous whoops other Jedi's asses a handful at a time

your fucking stupid a lightsaber cuts in all directions a sword the most in two.

It's implied in the movie itself, when he says their lightsabers will make a good addition to his "collection"
>>

>I've been trained in your jedi arts
>immediately starts spinning two sabers in a circle like fucking plane propeller blades

Gee I wonder when Dooku taught him that.

Not to mention Obi-Wan is one of the strongest jedi, and he uses the force against Grievous in that fight.
>>
>>64158153
It's not. Han uses it in empire.

But if you don't have the force, you're not going to be deflecting blaster bolts any time soon. Without that you're just an asshole that brought a knife to a gun fight.

If you have a light saber its implied you're fighting with other jedi, in which case they have force augmented reflexes and abilities that put you at a disadvantage.
>>
>>64158263
that makes it even easier to use
>>
>>64157829

He doesn't actually kill the Jedi, he just likes to claim that. In TCW they show how much of a pussy he is, he mass-orders his droids to kill Jedi then picks up the lightsabers
>>
>>64158030
>>64158048

That's actually true. Wouldn't Grievous have been more powerful with four blasters instead?
>>
>>64158319
Grevious was also crippled with horrible internal organ damage at that point.
>>
>>64158376
That would have been better honestly. The only jedi that ever died in his vicinity was Kit Fistos Mon Calamari padawan and he just blade locked him and then shot him in the stomach.
Fuck, even Asajj Ventress cut off his limbs and fucking super battle droids saved his ass.
>>
>>64158153

No you fucking spastic. When you're fighting with people with precognitive skills simple melee training is fucking useless. At least it should be. JJ thinks otherwise
>>
>>64158411
He's also not a force user so a healthy organ still wouldnt have made a difference
>>
>>64158406

Maybe, maybe not

the fact remains that he kept sabers as a vanity tool (kind of like real Generals in the 19th century) and when he got caught with his pants down by Obi Wan he had to make do with what he had
>>
>>64157761

Someone post the gifs/webms of The Clone Wars when Grevious BTFO jedi without breaking a sweat.
>>
>>64157761

If a guy with 4 lightsabers and Sith Lord training couldn't defeat a Jedi without the force

How did Finn last so long against a force user?

Fucking Gary Stu shit from JJ

3:59 of that video

These are the moves the "jedi" he's fighting use.

Obi-Wan is a class above those faggots anyway.

No that shits dumb. There's no reason a fucking robot could take on multiple precogntive force-wielding warriors.

It adds insult right before you finish them off

he gave him a nasty spine cut and was going to let him feel the pain before he went on

Not really. Getting surrounded and gunned down by hundreds of droids is routine for the Jedi

Do people do any research before they spew memes out of their mouth?

Grievous was one of the greatest warriors of his race, he fought against giant mantis soldiers.
>>
>>64157761
Okay well first Grievous came literally out of nowhere because as we determined
>canon
because Lucas blew his load at the start and killed Dooku, instead of having Obi Wan kill him on Pitland. He is established as a badass with his collection of glowsticks, even though his first scene is comprised of him wandering around the command bridge yelling at droids. The next time we see him in an action scene he brags about his 'training' under a man that, as far as he knows, Obi-Wan killed with the help of Anakin. He then proceeds to use his weapons in the flashiest manner instead of like actual weapons, attempting to over power Obi Wan by hitting him with three extra weightless swords than he is used to. After cutting off two of his additional hands, he remembers he can throw people with his mind and Grievous forgets he has robot talon feet that might be useful for anchoring himself down. They then have a chase that ends with a fist fight before Obi Wan remembers he can shoot a gun

As opposed to Finn, who probably had some weapons training in boot camp before being sent off to be a janitor on the hgadfggkiller base. Then at some point, he is reassigned to some lady who thinks mirrors make for good blaster armor and is put on a death squad. He then helps a prisoner break out and escorts him to a TIE fighter where he starts gunning down his co-workers with glee. Some stuff happens that is basically inconsequential because it is really just motion to get to the big action scene at the end. Once we get their Finn pulls out a lightsaber to fight Ren, even though at this point Blasters have been far more effective at wounding him. Finn then proceeds to give Ren a lightsaber paper cut on his shoulder after Ren had already been shot by what is basically a space .50 cal and Ren then just gives him a back massage with his saber.
The only thing they have in common is that they both have held a lightsaber.

Is this supposed to be a good thing? Why limit the narrative possibilities of a character-driven film like that?
