One disappointment is that Obi-Wan is taken out of the fight early on and rendered unconscious, leaving Anakin to fight Dooku alone (again). And while it turns out to be a much different fight this time out, it’s a bit too brief and one-sided to qualify as being particularly memorable. After wiping the floor with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones, Count Dooku encounters the two Jedi again aboard Grievious’ flagship, where Emperor Palpatine is being held prisoner. In hindsight, this really wasn’t the rematch many of us were hoping it would be. What follows is a fun chase sequence, but the actual lightsaber battle is done and ultimately doesn’t live up to its potential. Kenobi quickly gains the upper hand, cutting off two of Grievious’ hands in the process and before he can finish him off, the Clone army attacks, allowing Grievious to make his escape. He then starts rotating his arms in a rapid windmill motion and proceeds to slowly advance on Kenobi, to the point where it looks like the Jedi has no hope of penetrating Grievious’ assault.īut then the battle begins and it’s surprisingly … ordinary. Things start out well enough, with Grievous activating each of his four lightsabers, while declaring that he was trained in the Jedi arts by Count Dooku, the same Sith lord that made quick work of Obi-Wan back in Attack of the Clones. While Obi-Wan Kenobi’s showdown with four-armed villain General Grievous is cool to look at from a visual standpoint, it ultimately plays out more like a middle act distraction than an important showdown. Revenge of the Sith is absolutely loaded with lightsaber battles, but not all of them are created equal.
