In my mind, there are two versions of General Grievous: the wimpy, coughing vill

ain with a funny accent seen in Revenge of the Sith and the badass one-man army
and Jedi hunter-killer seen in Genndy Tartakovskys Clone Wars cartoon. I think w
e can all agree that the latter Grievous would have been much more interesting t
o have seen in the final Star Wars film, at least if his first lines (see above)
are anything to go by.
Despite walking into one of Count Dookus traps, Yoda attempts to reason with his
former student and find a solution to the Clone Wars. The best part is that Doo
ku tries to throw every argument at Yoda about the supremacy of the dark side of
the Force and how the Jedi will ultimately fail at bringing peace and justice.
And yet Yoda doesnt buy it. He plays the simple fool to Dookus silver-tongued int
ellectual, shooting down his eloquence and logic with simple thinking and a willin
gness to accept that, while the universe may be cruel, the people living in it d
o not have to be and that redemption is always possibleeven for a disgraced Jedi
like Dooku.
I recommend the entire Dark Rendezvous book just for the fact that it reads like
a love letter to the Yoda we first met in Empire Strikes Back: witty, teasing,
and above all else, a determined teacher to equally stubborn youth.
