I really need to get around to reading the Episode III novelization
I've heard that it basically fixes everything that was wrong with the film, explains character motivation and actually makes you give a shit about what is happening! Normally this would be unbelievable but the passages I have read were suitably impressive that it seems worth a read
Also I have been excited for Men Who Stare At Goats for months ever since I saw the cast. This trailer just brings home how fucking wonderful this movie is going to be

how in the hell do they rewrite teenage angst into a believable motive?
Tartakovsky got me so fucking pumped to see Grievous in the film.
And then Lucas turned him into a complete turd.
VROOOM LIGHTSABER SHINIES EVERYWHERE
LOOK AT BRIGHT COLORS
YAY
defender please explain your hate of shiny pretty things that kill people
I think you may have misunderstood something.
wait, that wasn't sarcastic?
it's so hard to tell with you
Action fightings are cool with me, but only if they're well done. All the choreography for the lightsaber stuff in the new trilogy (minus Ray Park) was just "wave this glowstick around just wherever" and it looked really meaningless. Like there was no emotion in it, it was just a bunch of random bright lights moving around. It's not too hard to get a good swordfight choreographer, but somehow they managed not to.

I know! It's impossible, right? But everyone says it's great, and the preview pages are good
I mean, it's not like it could be any worse than the movie, you know what I'm sayin'?

And that's really cool, because it represents ______.
Clone Wars was good enough that it didn't really have to have some deep meaning or purpose behind everything. It told a good story and did a much better job with characterization than Lucas, especially in regards to Anakin's transition to the dark side.
So there's no reason why he couldn't throw in a few action sequences that were just there for the fun of it.

"It doesn't need a good narrative" is a decent answer if it's a Jackie Chan movie. When Jackie Chan fights ten guys at a time using only a ladder, it doesn't need to represent the moral struggles facing 21st-century civilization. It can just be that Jackie Chan is one agile motherfucker.
But it's not as good an answer when there's a huge preexisting storyline, and things like The Force are already very deliberately loaded with symbolic meaning. Having a character who can dodge it really should mean something. When you set up a something that binds all life and all non-living matter into a universal energy field that can be felt and even manipulated by trained practitioners of a millenia-old religion, having someone who can "dodge" it shouldn't be something you just do for a cool action sequence.

When a huge preexisting storyline gets so huge there's like a hundred books by almost as many authors, all considered canon, and six feature films, seven if you count Clone Wars and only three of which are really any good or adhere to their own inner logic, I think the symbolism can be stretched and flexed a wee bit, if you see what I mean

So you're saying somebody already shit the bed. I can accept that.
Pip: OK, maybe not the way I would want to see it work, but thanks for at least explaining the official plot reason why that can happen.

I think I'd rather see something like a robot who can assassinate Jedi because his harmful intentions aren't "emotional" in nature and thus can't be detected. Maybe some armor that isn't easy to cut through would be good, too, although he'd have to be kinda stealthy so he doesn't get Force Chucked Into A Garbage Compactor.
But still, it's a better answer than "just for a cool fight sequence."

t defender: grievous was intended to be a jedi killer who was force attuned but not capable of manipulating it
Or you could just bust out the nerdtastic canonical answer
...seriously, is that his deal? Because when did that get explained
essentially behind the scenes for the tartaovsky series and lucas explaining him
I really don't think things like that should be things you find out through behind the scenes shit
It's like that whole "who is the jedi who ordered the clone army and why" thing from episode II, which got answered in a fucking visual encyclopedia book they released along with the movie and nowhere else
But...they couldn't have built the Grievous thing on purpose to prepare for Vader, right? I mean him getting burned to shit wasn't really planned, was it?

Defender you realise that Grievous was actually a genius level tactician, who's vital organs I believe are in the robot exoskeleton.

Especially the Commando Clones.
"What was that?"
"I don't know, General."
FWOOOSH
"That's not one of ours!"
"No, General."
SHWAAAAAAAAAAHH
"That was Anakin!"
"Yes, General!"
it had a solid story behind the buggy gameplay
naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
you need to read the comic, man
does a much, much better job at telling the story than the game
but the game had truly phenomenal cutscenes
What about Kenneth

This movies looks awesome. The best part of the trailer was when Boston kicked in.

nope, but the clone wars artist worked on that show
