Jedi Strength (ROTS spoiler)

Post by Lord Revan »

OK The Grievous vs. Kenobi fight in Utapau gives some indication how strong a Jedi can be with the help of the Force, as Kenobi bends the armor plates in Grievous' chest.

It's obvious Obi was giving himself a boost in those scenes.

Like Mace Windu going HtH with SBDs in the Clone Wars cartoon.


Either that or [DarkStar] General Grievous's armor is obviously weak enough for a human to bend unassisted. This is obviously an indication of the Weakness of ALL Star Wars armor, including capital ship armor, even though It has nothing to do with this scene[/DarkStar]

Quick question:
What was that thing under Grievous's armour, is Grievous actually a living creature, or what?

Gen Grievous is cyborg (like Vader) and that thing is what is left of the Orginal Grievous.

Comedy moment: Obi yelps in pain after crashing his shin (?) against Grevious's.

Otherwise though he held up pretty well. I guess Grevious is just a bit sturdier than your average battle droid (which go down from single Jedi kicks).

yeah that's probaly true and since dorkstar "argument" is something he might say, I'd love to see how he explain how that ultra weak armor didn't break into million peices when Kenobi TKd Grievous to the wall.

BTW I'm I the only that found Grievous' escape to his bike a bit funny.

thing is solid and doesn't get damaged at all when Grievous hits it, I think he'll just call you a "Evil warsie coward(tm)"

I loved the wheel. i might go and buy the toy version now. It's like Maul's speeder, and Dooku's speeder. Just a cool vehicle for the villan. Like Vader's TIE or his Med chambers.
