Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. After a tragic event in his life, this legendary warrior chose to take a new identity: Grievous. By what name was he formerly known?

Answer: Qymaen jai Sheelal

Qymaen jai Sheelal and Ronderu lij Kummar shared an absolute, sacred bond. Together, they were invincible-however, on an occasion when they were separated, Kummar was struck down in battle. Despite attempts to bury his sorrow, Qymaen knew his destiny was to grieve for her always; hence, the name "Grievous."

2. General Grievous is a member of what reptilian species?

Answer: Kaleesh

The Kaleesh, native to the planet Kalee, are a warrior race who have been embroiled in a long war with their planetary neighbors, the Huk.

3. Which member of the Separatist Council recruited Grievous into his organization?

Answer: San Hill, InterGalactic Banking Clan

San Hill offered to aid the poverty-stricken Kaleesh in exchange for Grievous's employ. Despite his disgust for the idea of serving the Banking Clan, the former warlord couldn't resist the opportunity for conflict; he accepted the job and became "collections agent."

4. Upon attempting to return to his homeworld, Grievous received life-threatening injuries in part due to a shuttle crash. Who was responsible for this crash?

Answer: The Separatists

San Hill was angered that Grievous was returning home, so Hill along with Count Dooku devised a plan to make him their permanent employee. They engineered the shuttle crash; however, the injuries from the crash weren't quite enough for their sinister purposes. Most of the wounds were inflicted after he was pulled from the shuttle wreckage.

5. What Jedi's blood was used to sustain gravely injured Grievous's life?

Answer: Sifo-Dyas

Despite this transfusion of midichlorian-rich blood, Grievous never developed Force sensitivity.

6. During the rebuilding process, Grievous's mind was altered to suppress memories and emotion as well as to stimulate cruelty and aggression.

Answer: True

This was done despite promises that no alterations would be made to his mind. The Geonosians are quite adept at making these modifications without the patient knowing; hence, Grievous believed he had always been the cold-blooded conqueror he now was.

7. Unsatisfied with his new droid body, Grievous customized his faceplate to resemble what?

Answer: A mumuu skull mask

He modified his faceplate to resemble the mumuu skull mask he used to wear, which he had inherited from his father. The karabacc skull mask was worn by his former partner, Kummar.

8. What type of droid is Grievous's cyborg body modeled after?

Answer: Krath war droid

Used as a model for Grievous's body, the powerful Krath war droids were originally created around the year 4,000 BBY to battle Jedi from the ancient Republic.

9. Who trained Grievous in the Jedi art of lightsaber combat?

Answer: Darth Tyranus

He was trained by Darth Tyranus, aka Count Dooku. Grievous was quite proficient with the Jedi weapon; Dooku admitted there were times even he was hard-pressed to out-duel him.

10. Unleashed against the Jedi for the first time, where was Grievous during the Battle of Geonosis?

Answer: In the catacombs

Grievous was stationed in the Geonosian catacombs during this first battle of the Clone Wars, where he defended the Separatist leaders from Jedi and clones. This is when he began the practice of collecting "trophies," Jedi lightsabers.
