It is true that Star Wars It has Darth Sidious and Darth Vader as iconic villains, but one of the most interesting enemies of the Jedi according to the fandom is the General Grievousthe Supreme Commander of the Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.
While we have understood all this time that he is a fearsome and powerful cyborg trained in lightsaber combat by Count Dooku, Some statements from a screenwriter of the saga could give an unexpected twist to the Grievous story and the prequel trilogy.
As he recalls a report published on the website of vandal, Star Wars are no longer in the hands of its creator George Lucas. The faces behind the cameras are Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, JJ Abrams or Rian Johnson, but Lucas will always be on top of the biggest secrets of Star Wars.
One of those mysteries that Lucas always protected, according to a new leak, is that General Grievous’s real identity was not that of a mere cyborg, but was actually one of the dark Sith.
General Grievous could be… Darth Maul
The report explains that it appears that George Lucas wanted Grievous to Was actually Darth Maul a defeated Sith in Episode I: The Phantom Menace, torn in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi after he murdered his master Qui-Gon Jinn.
Henry Gilroy, screenwriter for Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, revealed to SlashFilm: “George was considering that Grievous was Maul behind the armor.. It made sense. It’s cut in half and it’s in this robot body or whatever”.
“I’m glad Grievous is himself anyway, but I thought it was interesting that the concept art guys almost convinced George of that.Gilroy added.
Darth Maul is one of the most beloved Sith by Star Wars fans, especially because of the colors on his face and that double saber. Beyond Episode I, we had more of Maul in comics, novels, animated shows, and that brief return in the Han Solo movie, but the fandom would have applauded a return of him in Revenge of the Sith as the cyborg Grievous.
