Don't make me repeat myself.

R2D2.

He's also the most powerful because nobody would ever think he's going to suddenly put out a tool and disintegrate you.

*Has his hand going up and down, just like in Rock, Paper, Scissors*

*Makes a Jawa with his hand*

Jawa beats Droid.

General Grievus-Body of steel, but eyes of the animal.He can kill every single jedy or sith.
And his personal guard droids are the best.

Ahem, may I point out the one that killed him in the first place? I mean he lost most of his light sabers against Obi Wan.

In anycase, I still prefer Yoda... definately his speech...

You guys have it all wrong :p

First off, Anakin was a billion times superior to Vader. Why? Because he wasn't a crippled bastard dragging an oxygen tank around everywhere as Anakin. Anakin, if he hadn't been owned by the lava, would have become the most powerful Dark Jedi of all time. Period. He would have been at the absolute top of his game.

Anakin could use a lightsaber like nobody else. All that went to shit when he became the robotic dead. His mastery in the force continued (Though we don't see it in the movies because of the special effects; Anakin appears more powerful with the Force than Vader does for precisely that reason, in the 70's/80's the Force was limited to very simple stuff, it became unlimited with the advances in special effects, however), but his lightsaber skills only deteriorated.

In fact, during his post-Order 66 Purge of the Jedi, Vader nearly got himself killed. He was clumsy and unaccustomed to working with his new body, and almost got owned by a Padawan.

THIS IS CANON PEOPLE.

Obviously in the next twenty-odd years he made advances, but he never reached the same heights he could have pre-suit.

As for Grievous:

He was a fag. The character didn't really have any originality to it, half machine half human? Sounds like a certain Dark Lord of the Sith I know.

Sure, the four hands thing was cool, and the possibility that he could have mastered lightsaber technique beyond anything capable by a human, but his whole lack of the Force shot that entire thing down.

He became weak next to a Jedi, all they had to do was use the Force against him, as Obi-Wan demonstrated.

He was an amateur. Dooku was a far more interesting bad guy, and even though he was weak and pathetic too, he at least had mastery of the Force.

So, both of them are certainly not the best characters in the series, to do with power anyway, but both are pretty cool.

It would be wise to note that one may use the Force when half-cyborg (i.e. Darth Vader) but only in the body parts that are still flesh.

Which is why Vader only ever uses one hand to use the force, after he gets omgwtfbbqpwned by Kenobi.

Yeah, the problem with Grievous is that only his internal organs (Or some of them anyway) and his brain were intact. Apparently this severs the Force, whereas Vader was a human frame with cyborg addons to keep him alive.

I'm assuming that's why Grievous was disconnected from the Force. Or perhaps he was never a Force-user to begin with, and was only prodigious with a lightsaber because of his crazy robot arms and such?

Yeah I agree. It would be safe to assume that you need at least 1 limb that's intact to channel the force through it.

The thing I love about Grievous the most is his ridiculous voice, minus the gay coughing.

Vader still had limbs though. Part of him was human. Grievous could not use the force. Could not. He didn't have the power, either because he wasn't Force sensitive or because he was a machine, or probably both.

Gary Oldman was rumored to do his voice, which would have been totally awesome.

Actually I think the coughing is because Mace Windu crushed his abdomen with the Force.

The part that contains the heart and 1 other organ (probably the lungs) so the coughing may have been real, just "enhanced" by his robotic parts.

I think it's a combination of not having been Force adept to begin with and being a cyborg thing.

Even if he was sick after his chest was crushed, who do you think crushed his chest anyway? And he is a Jedi so pfft, he can't kill all Jedi and Sith.

The Republic isn't evil. The Empire is. And even then, it's only because Palpatine rules it like a fascist dictator.

The Imperial Remnant after the movies prove to be great allies eventually.

As for Grievous, though, pure evil. He doesn't even pretend to have any idealistic goals like some of the Sith, he's just straight up in it for the killing.

Screw the Imperial Remnant.

1.) They become evil in the future. Cade Skywalker anyone?
2.) They try to kill Fett.

Well, I agree it's pretty close to non-canon, but it would be interesting to see the connections between "now" and then. (Now being 44ABY).

Yeah everyone tries to kill Fett, but I swear, if it ends up the Remnant's virus kills him, eventually, I'm going apeshit crazy.
