R.I.D BASE OF OPERATIONS

went to ROTW lucas arts site went through some screens, can someone tell me what this is all about!?


click on screenshots link on Top right of website, go to screenshot 11 Out OF 25... tell me what that thing is with the lightsaber...please explain...

not sure if there are more cybernetics or if its an NPC or what but i think theres something SOE isnt telling us in their info on ROTW story+ect on Kashyyk

i do believe it is an NPC that is part o one of the misions on the new planet.

That, I believe is General Grevious (or one of his bodyguards), which is an NPC holding a lightsaber. In ROTW, I belive you can go to a dungeon to kill him.

looks so badass...i want his armor/cybernetic like stuff!

Definitely not General Grevious as he has four arms. I would also venture a guess and say Grevious dies in Epidose III as Vader would be his (and Dooku's) bad @$$ replacement. Looks like it might be one of Grevious' bodyguards. I'd have to flip through the Republic Commando screenshots to do a comparison though. If it isn't a body guard, I'd say some type of droid assassin perhaps or maybe some mechanical leftover from the Clone Wars. I mean, there are Droidekas in-game.

yeah the thing is it doesnt give much of a front shot and it was holding a lightsaber so i was like

Yeah, I figured it was a body guard. Also, if it was General Grevious, it'd be kinda weird. It'd be like everyone going to a dungeon to kill Darth Vader over and over again

Here are a couple photos of Grevious' Guard for comparison. The first is of what is believed to be Grevious' Guard from the Episode III trailor. The second is another screenshot of one of his guards, but from the game Republic Commando. Even with these two photos it is hard to tell.





I did notice something interesting though. While watching the Episode III trailer, there is a scene where Obi-wan is fighting the General. It is a shot where the General has his back right side to the camera. What is interesting is that his body plates seem to match what is in the screenshot Xan directed us to. Then again, the body plates seem similar (though it is hard to match) to what is in the photos of the guards I am posting.

i heard that grevious has two arms that can split in half thus making four arms. So perhaps it could be him

Yeah, forgot about that. Even still, seems a bit silly that you would actually be able to fight one of the game's heroes. That would be like fighting Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker in-game.

I'm still thinking it is one of his bodyguards. The body plates for the General and his bodyguards are quite similar (if not identical). The only difference appears to be in the head/face.

I have seen a good picture from Celebration III where they had a statue of the General on display. Now if only I could find that pic, then we could do some more comparisons.

Found it!!! Here is the pic of the General Grevious statue from Celebration III. Thoughts???

Oh, and here is a pic of a Princess Leia from Celebration III. While she doesn't completely capture Carrie Fisher's portrayal of Leia, this girl really does bring something unique to the character...

In case you are wondering, I found all of these pics on the SWG forums at the address below. There are some pretty cool pics in there. Aside from the thongless Princess Leia w/tanlines, there are a couple of pics of the Vader Viper. Talk about my dream car... not only is it a Dodge Viper, but it has a kick @$$ Darth Vader paint job on it.

Well, looks like we got a verification. He was kind enough to pose for this shot.

You'd think they would give the General the correct lightsaber color...

He uses blue and green sabers in the movie...

Then again, like the devs care about continuity...

Greivious dies in EPS III but I will not say how. It is really sad how he dies btw!
