^^That sounds great. A good improvement on the original!

I actually had kind of an off-the-wall idea for Grievous, which may or may not work. He's an evil, eccentric robot who calls himself "Dr. Maul" and always refers to himself in the 3rd person. It might bring back the comic-book villain feel from the OT.

Why is he called Maul? Maybe Palplatine programmed him that way in honor/memory of his fallen apprentice. Or perhaps he IS Maul in some small way (he used Maul's heart or something small like that and then enshrined it in this robot).

It's the sort of crazy thing that wouldn't be out of character for Palpatine, considering that he does the same exact thing to Anakin at the end of the movie.

I know Grievous=Maul has been discussed ad nauseum, but what if we don't get into that and just let the audience wonder, "Why the heck does he call himself Maul, anyway?"

That's all fine and good. If you did it, it could be cool. Honestly though, I just wish we could Grevious more purpose besides just giving Obi-Wan something to do so Anakin can be alone to make bad decisions. =)

To be honest, I wish I could just cut out that entire part of the movie with Obi-Wan. It is completely pointless and literally serves no other function than giving Obi-Wan something to do while Anakin turns bad. But I'm already removing Yoda vs. Palpatine. If you take this out too, what is there left?

Oh yeah, I know. You basically have to try and make it stronger somehow. That's why many were trying to make Grevious actually be a restructured Maul, because then you have a back story for Obi-Wan. The man who killed his master lives. Gives it purpose. But that would require an eye change.
