20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith

2. The Tiny Amount Of Antagonist Screentime

Undoubtedly earning their places as two of the most memorable big bads ever to wreak havoc on the Jedi and Republic throughout the Clone Wars era, both Count Dooku and General Grievous played some rather vital parts in the final chapter of this pre-Original Trilogy set of tales - acting as physical pieces of foreshadowing towards Anakin Skywalker's eventual turn to the Dark Side, among many other things.

But away from Dooku representing a Fallen Jedi and Grievous foreshadowing the cyborg body heading Skywalker's way, you may be shocked to discover that these two despicable fiends were actually only present on-screen for a grand total of eight minutes combined.

Now sure, a large chunk of the narrative is taken up by Anakin's descent into darkness, a process accelerated by Palpatine's villainous on-screen presence for 24-minutes 45-seconds, of course. But it's still remarkably to note how big an impact both antagonists had on proceedings given their evident lack of significant time to shine.

Dooku didn't fair much better in Attack of the Clones, either, only picking up just short of ten minutes of screen-time.
