10 Dumb Villain Schemes Even A Child Could Have Stopped

2. General Grievous - Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars Episode IIIThe Plan: The same as just about every other Sith - to stop the Jedis once and for all. He can wield 4 light-sabers at once, so this shouldn't be too much of a problem. The Flaw: I'm guessing they don't get very good medical on the Sith side, because arguably Grievous' most memorable characteristic is his annoying, wheezing cough. You'd think the Sith wouldn't want a guy that crippled being such an important cornerstone of their force, especially once you see him fight. During a battle with Obi Wan, he gets his ass-kicked at every turn, being forced to flee time and time again, until Kenobi manages to incinerate him from the outside. Trust George Lucas to be the one to present an awesome-looking villain to us, and then to completely gimp him from the outset. Basically, as long as your lung capacity doesn't quite reach emphesymic levels, you'll probably have no problem running rings around this colossal klutz.
