Well, someone had to make one, and before we start seeing 100 threads a day about this droid, I figure its best to make this one early.

Here's what we know so far from 'Just the Facts':

• The design crew worked very hard to make the new bad guy in Ep3 visually distinctive. -RC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• "Expect someone serious as the new villain." - RM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The new bad guy has a lot of screen time, a memorable role, and he is central to the plot. -RC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Animatics have done pre-visualization for the new bad guy and "he is one bad mother". -DG
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The new bad guy has connections to Darth Sidious. -PH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The "new bad guy" is not referring to Darth Vader. It will be an original, separate villain. -PH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The new bad guy has some electronic alteration done to his voice. - BB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• We will get our first look at the new villain in 2004. - PE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The new villain is in the vein of old-style serial villains. Someone who revels in villainry. -PH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The new bad guy did not appear in the original trilogy. -PH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• You get just enough from the movies to establish the new villain's role and importance. The EU, of course, will flesh things out with George's blessing. -PH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The new villain has a space ship and will use it. He also has several other modes of transportation. -PH

Good idea DarthBa... er... theforce. Heh, what should I call you anyway? :lol:

I think Gen. Grevious will make a fine throw-away villian. Friday's Hyperspace webdoc gave just enough information and images of him to leave me wanting more. :)

The Shelter's image abilities > Old JC's image abilities
:D

Old JC image abilities were just pwned. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Staying on-topic though, I'm really glad that the 'movie' GG looks so much better than the 'Clone Wars' cartoon GG. I don't really like the toon version, but I love the movie look.

EDIT: You might as well go ahead and make this the *OFFICIAL* Gen. Grevious thread, eh?

Anyone got images of the movie version of Grievous yet?
