So the first threat to really turn things against them is to hold a mirror up in their face. As we’ve said before, Grievous’ debut is incredible – his cold steel body gives him near-Force powers and the athletic grace of a Jedi, his spinning hands make his lightsaber spin a disc of death and destruction , in stark contrast to the enemy’s balletic swordplay. His line in Chapter 20 is not a witty comment on the state of affairs or orders, like those spoken by Jedi generals we have met in previous series, but a chilling threat: “Jedi!
