15 Worst Performances In Star Wars Movies
14. Matthew Wood - General Grievous
General Grievous might've worked fine in the Expanded Universe materials, but when it came to his big-screen appearance (not counting his silent cameo in Star Wars: The Clone Wars), he was, to be honest, a bit rubbish.
A CGI bore with no personality, General Grievous does hardly anything in Revenge of the Sith and is basically just there to pan the film out before Anakin's fall to the dark side. Worst of all, he's shown wielding four lightsabers simultaneously, which was a great visual, but Obi-Wan just takes him and the lightsabers out easily.
Sound editor Matthew Wood's performance fails to give the character any much-needed life and settles instead for a vaguely evil-sounding voice the entire time. This was a robotic performance and Grievous is a cyborg, so this performance mirrors the character, but in the worst possible way.
