10 Worst Star Wars Characters

5. General Grievous

Quick! Someone get that man a puffer! General Grievous, who was offered up as a potentially intriguing and ultimately cool villain, turned out to be nothing but a lot of hot air. Grievous, the Jedi hunting, lightsaber collecting bad guy from Revenge Of The Sith had the possibility of going down as one of the true badasses of the entire trilogy. Supreme Commander of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Grievous was trained in all forms of lightsaber combat and was skilled enough to actually defeat fully trained Jedi. Impressive stuff. With four cybernetic arms and a mostly cyborg body, he seemed like an impressive foe. And then, he talked. And wheezed. And coughed. He suddenly went from being extremely cool to frail and lame. Vader had some serious health issues too, but he never seemed like he belonged in an anti-smoking PSA. General Grievous, what could have been. Sadly though, the powers that be gave you a defective set of lungs and a serious smoker's cough. Welcome to the list.

A self professed Stephen King/Star Wars geek and pop culture neophyte, Scott tends to spend much of his time alone pondering life's greatest mysteries.....he also depends heavily on his son Liam, a great sounding board, to set him straight on Star Wars issues and gives him advice on what EXACTLY he's doing wrong.
