Clone Wars was so fun. The episode with the special forces troopers that’s mostly silent immediately comes to mind, as well as the one where General grievous just goes to town on a group of surrounded Jedi.

It was also pretty cool watching Mace force crush grievous‘s chest lol

I really love that scene where Grievous starts monologuing while the Jedi ties his cloak to the train door with the force. When the train leaves he just looney toons out of there. Honestly the single best use of the force in the whole god-damn canon, cracks me up every time.

And Palpatine just raises his eyebrows while she is doing it, amazing. Was hugely disappointed when I saw Episode 3 and what they did to Grievous, that dude was scary in the shorts.

Clone Wars was excellent, and a real departure for the brand under Lucas's watch. It set a lot of the canon for Windu and Grevious at the time.

Never got around to watching Samurai Jack but really should.

Tartakovsky's Grievous was awesome. That character ended up being such a disappointment in the film. But I still liked how they tied that series straight into the final film.

I was at a talk with Tartakovsky a long time ago. I don't remember all the details, but he said when they first got their descriptions of Grievous from Lucasfilm, they didn't have much to go off of. Lucas said Grievous had a cough and that was it. Tartakovsky's team didn't know why he had a cough, so they created the Mace Windu scene.

That’s awesome. Way to use the slack given to him
