Discussion like this makes me wish that Georgie-boy planned out the whole prequel trilogy at least a basic outline for each episode, before starting to make them.

Anyway, it's up to the fans to salvage the films isn't it? That's what this thread is all about!

So, the dialogue exchange ideas sound great and once perfected and attempted should create more of an emotional impact. That's good.

The Grievous=Maul idea made me laugh when I first read it so long ago. However, recently I've been thinking about it and it does make sense (if we can pull it off). Obi-Wan would want to follow him to Utapau because he killed his master. Then I realized I wasn't sure about the specifics of this plan. Would the Jedi know that Grievous is Maul? Or would that be revealed later on? Then of course the major issue is Grievous' death where he gets shot by a blaster and spouts fire from his face. While very odd it also doesn't seem like much of a climax for a character that Obi-Wan should feel hatred for (even though he's not supposed to hate, being a Jedi and all).

I wish it were possible to have some other death scene for Grievous. After fighting for a while Obi-Wan could pry open his chestplate (as he does in the movie? It's been a while since I watched Episode III). Then as Grievous furiously tries to slice and dice him, Obi-Wan could somehow find himself in a vantage point from which he could stab Grievous in the heart. But again.... beyond the realms of possibility for us, isn't it?...... Let's give Ray Park a call, see if he'd be willing to let us film a few scenes with him.
