Grievous is a multi lightsaber wielding robot
The other minor villains are just really bad racial stereotypes
Sidious is OK, but we see him too much. The sequel trilogy needs to not show things until it's necessary to do so.
Grievous is no more a robot than Darth Vader.
There's no racism in Star Wars. Move on, do.
Sidious appears in a handful of scenes in The Phantom Menace and only appears right at the end of Attack Of The Clones. Revenge Of The Sith, yes, that film is his finest hour but I don't think that the character is over-used in the prequels.
