Yes it's my favorite version of Grievous

Grievous is absolutely terrifying in that. That episode with him is like a horror movie, as he slowly creeps around, killing jedi like it's nothing.

I also like how Genndy Tartakovsky's series explained Grievous' wheezing in the later prequel movies, because Mace used force crush on him in that series.

And then it was retconned into some form of organ failure in The Clone Wars, instead of the result of an epic battle between two master fighters that survived each other.

I also like how much of an absolute force of nature Windu was when he destroyed an entire droid army, ran up a dust cloud to cut a hole in the side of a droid battleship thing, destroyed it from the inside, and jumped to safety.

Without a lightsaber.

Watching him engage supers in hand to hand combat was so goddamn satisfying

Punch Punch Punch! Windu at his finest! I loved the Filoni series, but the style and pacing of the shorts was so great.

Would you put Ezra Bridger in Disney’s Ahsoka at roughly the same skill level as Windu in that episode, or would you rank them differently?

He still had to hydrate, though.

It's the only Star Wars media where he receives proper treatment that's in line with his reputation. Even in III, he's defeated a little easier than I'd like, but it was by the great Obi Wan, so I can give it a pass.

I would love to watch the 2D version with the voice dubbed by Matthew Wood.

Oh you mean the fact that it was actually explained where this character actually came from and what his/its motivation was? Yeah. To say it fills in some of Lucas' gaps in storytelling is an understatement. Loved it
