'EPISODE III' AT TWENTY: BRIDGE BATTLE!

On the bridge of the Invisible Hand, our Jedi heroes, plus Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, have the dreaded General Grievous in their hands and spring a trap to finally capture him so as to end this long-running Clone Wars, of which all kinds of hell erupts in the best Star Wars lightsaber action tradition. 

A great shot showing the on set lightsabers and the blue clad stunt doubles playing Grievous's lethal Magna Droids.

DELETED SCENE: ESCAPE DESCENT!

Having been cornered by General Grievous and unable to stop his brutal slaying of Jedi Master Shaak Ti, our heroes Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi now escape to another level of the Invisible Hand- an unexpected move during a deleted scene from EPISODE III that eventually made it to 2005 DVD release.

THE CLONE WARS: THE DROID UNIVERSE!

C-3PO and R2-D2's appearances throughout THE CLONE WARS animated series were always welcome- the duo intriguingly involved in quirky stories that often caught viewers delightfully off guard, but let's also not forget and celebrate the many other interesting, truly diverse and visually marvellous robot/android creations that graced its official five-year run, working both for the good of the Republic and against it, as seen here in this excellent composite shot from LUCASFILM Animation.

THE 'SITH' AT TEN: THE HEADLESS FIGHTER!

Battle Droids, well they're easy to take out. But as for General Grievous's Magna Droids? They're a lot more labour intensive, as Obi-Wan Kenobi discovers in this early scene of conflict from EPISODE III.

THE CLONE WARS: DOOKU'S DELIGHT!

Count Dooku enjoys the pain and suffering being felt by the overwhelmed Anakin Skywalker, captured by the lethal Magna Droids, in this critical scene from the Season Four episode Shadow Warrior.

CLASSIC IMAGE: KINGDOM OF THE CYBORG!

Flanked by a Magna Droid, the cruel veneer of cyborg-created General Grievous surveys his new surroundings, within the sinkhole city of Utapau, for this early scene from REVENGE OF THE SITH.

CLASSIC ART: DEATH'S DISCIPLES...

The brilliant artistic image of the skull-like, fearsome organic/droid encapsulation of General Grievous, flanked by his evil droid bodyguards, by conceptual artist Warren Fu, that truly sold the visual concept of the evil Droid Leader to George Lucas in 2003 pre-production for EPISODE III.
