No, General Grievous' Speed comes from his droid reflexes, he was trained to use lightsabers by Count Dooku (seen in the Clone Wars miniseries) but he has never used, or been able to use the Force.

Who were Grevious' guards and what were those weapons?

Grevious-s guards were robots that he trained (beleave it or not!) and I don't know about the weppons... maybe you should go to the star wars web site? (www.starwars.com - yes, that is the web adress) And by the way I saw the movie!!!

The Witch-King of Angmar · 09-18-2005, 09:24 AM

MAGNA DROIDS are the droids chosen for Grievous' bodyguards. They get there name from the're magnetic feet, which allows them to Grip to rooftops etc.

There weapons are Electro-Staffs. Emmiting powerful electricity, enough to slightly repel a lightsaber.

Not really any match for a Jedi. But with Grievous, almost unstoppable. For more info go to www.starwars.com/databank/

I think they were just added this month.

Curubethion · 09-19-2005, 11:15 PM

Hmm...so that explains why they looked like molten metal when they got decapitated.

Why didn't we see more of Alderaan? Do we know anything more about it? I was hoping we would see it--then it would make the destruction in Ep. 4 more poignant.

The Witch-King of Angmar · 09-20-2005, 08:25 AM

I was happy just seeing it. Nice Mountains.

Elanor · 09-20-2005, 05:10 PM

Actually, I had seen a painting in it in one of those old "star wars index" books, but it didn't have mountains. It looked like that other planet-- can't remember it's name-- the one with the plains and large cavities where Obi-Wan fought General Grievous. When I saw a shot of that in the trailer I was sure it was Alderaan. I was pretty disappointed that it was another planet in the movie.

Utapu was the planets name. And don't forget just as earth has many different geological zones so must planets in the Star Wars universe...

Utapau you mean. I guess some planets are like Earth (geological zones) but it never really shows you. Most planets are only shown having one type of geological zone.

Elanor · 09-23-2005, 01:46 AM

Thanks for the name. I still think there should have been more Alderaan, though.

The Witch-King of Angmar · 09-29-2005, 08:28 AM

Ok I've got a question, Which pilot is seen tricking a Star Destroyer into crashing into another Star Destroyer?

rohirrim TR · 09-29-2005, 12:03 PM

wedge, or just an expendable crewman/pilot

The Witch-King of Angmar · 10-03-2005, 08:19 AM

Neither

Curubethion · 10-03-2005, 12:11 PM

I have no idea what the answer is, but I've got a question: what are all of the lightsaber colors, and what do they stand for? (i.e., why does Mace get a purple saber???)

rohirrim TR · 10-03-2005, 02:22 PM

red for sith, green and blue for jedi, and mace got a purpel light saber because samuel jackson asked for one,

The Witch-King of Angmar · 10-06-2005, 05:39 AM

Correct. Some may argue there are Yellow ones, but they are only in games and some books. In my opinion, if it isn't in the movies (or written by GL) it isn't real.

rohirrim TR · 10-06-2005, 02:09 PM

all right lets see a trivia question, what was the gungan water craft called?
