Is General Grievous a Sith?

[Cynicalx]

Since Count Dooku trained him in the Jedi arts, is he considered a Sith or just a weapon to kill the the Jedi.

Does anyone else find it weird that he uses blue and green lightsabers?

[TheMajormel]

he has blue and green lightsabers because when he kills off his opponent he steals them.
this has been explained many fucking times.

[Slacker013]

He's more of a weapon for the Trade Federation than an actual Sith lord, the only thing he's capable of is swinging a sword. I also don't think his trophy collection of lightsabers is weird either.

Sith aligned???
Yeah,he IS a four armed robot,with spider legs.

No. You have to be able to use the force to be either a Jedi or Sith. He only learned how to use a lightsaber which anyone in the Star Wars universe can do.

[NotGobblemeister]

Greivous can't use the force he is just a warrior who serves a sith lord

[Thor]

since he's mostly metal, he can't use the force

He's not a sith, just a jedi murdering cyborg

Although I did hear you need to have a certain amount of force sensitivity to be able to activate a lightsaber. Maybe he found a way around it, or his race is innately sensitive

It has more to do with the fact that only force users have ready access to the crystals used to build lightsabers

Then how did Han Solo cut open that animal in Empire to keep Luke warm?

Goddamn that's such a George Lucas answer.

[Loki]

He's a pawn.

[Lemonardo]

General Grievous is a Shit.

It's not stealing when the owner is dead.

Basically, I agree with what Viper50 says.

In the Star Wars lore, the force is the main aspect of a Jedi's focus (in the original trilogy). Those who deviate from the normal force path and use their understanding of its power for self-gain are said to turn to 'the Dark Side.' The Sith themselves aren't thoroughly explained in the films, but the general consensus among writers and fans is that they were a group or sect of Dark Side users. Most of Star Wars 'history' deals with the Sith wars, where not all participants were force-users (such as soldiers). But generally 'Sith' means a Dark Side user who has been initiated into an elite religious group of fellow Dark Side users.

This was probably more of an explanation than you asked for, but General Grievous was simply a confederate with lightsabers. He was a mere pawn in the Sith agenda (not that any of the prequels illustrate this well).

[darkjam]

No. The reason the Sith use red lightsabers is solely tradition, I think it was about the first Siths ever believing they gave more power but they didn't, then everybody just recognized them by their red lightsabers.

I tip my hat to you, good sir.

They are banal and trite, Lucas clearly knows nothing of the finer arts.

I think his collection of lightsabers is awesome. :D Don't you think so?

[Swag-in-a-Bag]

One of the best villains SW has seen IMO

[DarkMatter]

I believe george lucas does the voice for grievous.

I agree..lol

When 'Clone Wars' the 2D Cartoon came out, they made General Greivous seem like a bad ass. He slayed multiple Jedi at a time and even seemed scary.

When 'Episode III Revenge Of The Sith' came out, they made him seem like a coward and not a threat, poodo!

When 'The Clone Wars' came out, they seemed to portray both sides of grievous but mainly the talkative lame villain and not the silent kick ass cyborg.

Excuse me. I hope you are trolling. Please read the comics before you comment.

[FlakJaketPro]

Quoting like everyone,
Grevious cannot use the force.
He can use light sabres however, almost anyone can.
Ex. Grevious,Hando from the Clone Wars I believe activated one,Han Solo, and I guess Kyle Kataran but he was force sensitive after all.
However, I think he is cooler than most Sith because he uses blasters also, and had Obi Wan not pulled that cheap move; won a battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Star Wars is probably the one series where the spin offs are probably better than the original movies

People like Abrams are fans and they hold the series in much higher regard than Lucas ever has

[TheDisharmony]

No he wasn't a Sith, let alone he couldn't even do the force.

This and more this, alot of the expanded universe is significantly better than the movies, as awesome as they are.

[HolidayJester]

I don't watch star wars too much, but grievous is basically a hitman.

[saltovergray]

Grievous didn't have force sensitivity. So, no. Prior to his incapacitation and consequent cybernetic rebirth at the hands of Count Dooku, however, he was a tribal warrior on his home planet. The mask he wears is similar to the masks that the race he was once a member of wear.

I'm not even sure if the race he was a part of is capable to being force sensitive (similar to Wookies and Tusken Raiders, who cannot be force sensitive).
