5. Not Giving General Grievous More Time To Kick Ass

Sticking with Revenge of the Sith for this next entry, Episode III saw the arrival of the intimidating cyborg known as General Grievous on the big-screen.

By the time he was eventually bested by Obi-Wan Kenobi on Utapau, though, fans had barely been treated to the visual of the four-armed badass slicing his way through a battlefield with the lightsabers of Jedi he'd taken out in the past.

What was the point of bringing in such a ridiculously cool new antagonist for this prequel-ending flick then, only to have him largely just splutter his way through the tale before finally getting his ass handed to him in his one real on-screen fight?

Those who have enjoyed the gift that is the Clone Wars animated series will know just how terrifying the big bad Kaleesh could be on his day with some lightsabers in hand. So, choosing to only have Grievous show off the combat skills that made him one of the galaxy's most formidable adversaries ONCE is about as foolish a call as they get.
