I think ep 3 Anakin had it in him to beat almost everyone unless he let feelings get in the way, except the desire to protect, he lost to Obi Wan because rage made him reckless, strong yes, but strength isn't everything, you need control.

"Okay, I'm going to put this lightsaber at the end of this really narrow plank of wood. When Grevious sees it, he'll run over to grab it for his collection. Once he's at the very edge, I'll kick him over into a bottomless ravine."

_--Papa Palpatine_

So Palpatine planned to have Grievous killed at the end of The Clone Wars. If General Grievous fought Anakin Skywalker (Dark Side), Anakin would destroy Grievous with the Dark Side.

I love how it's canon, Sidious ever the sentimental kept Grievous bionic carcass and used it, and stored it on a storage facility

[brandonoltman]

I really hope we see a spinoff series just of this character and his back story. I want to see more of his wrath.

[craigcuthbert]

How powerful would General Grievous become if he was force sensitive along with his cybernetic enhancements?

[sparkc]

If Anakin went with obi won to fight grievous, it might take long enough for his wife to give brith. Also it might give time for Anakin to realized he might being played. As his vision of the future would not have came true. For Obi won help stay him on light side long enough to get through it. It would foiled palatine plan because Anakin generally recanters him self towards the light.

[joelbilly]

General Grevious was a potential rivial like Dooku in his leadership role of the confederacy, they both had to go like the confederacy itself.

[encognitusmaximus]

Almost like its a precursor showing that no matter the plans Sidious had for Anakin/Vader always had his own plans that could mess up or alter Sidious's.

[mastervader]

In the end his plan was to kill everybody lol

[billybutcher]

He was so nerfed if people would know how strong He was in the comics

[manuelbello]

This definitely made sense, he would never issue order 66 with grievous alive

[maccurtis]

I feel Palpatine's pain a final fight between Anakin and General Grievous would be so cool dam Anakin's compassion for Obi-Wan on the Invincible Hand will cost him an arm and two legs enjoy your suit young fool.

[mboackle]

So if Anakin had proven to Palps that he could beat Dooku, he thought Anakin was finally ready to take on Grievous because he beat Dooku and therefore he could beat Grievous because he beat Dooku so he was ready to fight Grievous

[stapleman]

Darth Vader with Grievous technology instead of the 1970's robot tech. Oh, the possibilities.

[cyber]

Ohhhh! I thought him telling anakin to tell the council, that he Palpatine, who he knew they distrusted, to send ANAKIN to fight Grievous...was a reverse psychology trick to get obiwan sent away with anakin kept on courascent.

[Shadow]

I do like that, but there is one more thing that stands in Anakin's way of the dark side. Padme. I think Palaptine would have send Padme off on a critical peace keeping mission, had obi-wan been killed by grievous, then grievous would have been told of her location and told to kill her instantly on sight. That would have driven Anakin into a rage unlike any other. allowing him to kill the general.

[dianesinger]

Get the plans and I do believe Anakin would have made spare parts of grevious

[mechanwhal]

They were all pawns. Every last one of them. *Wow.*

Lord Vqrder would destroy grievous has no chance against Darth Vader Revenge of the Sith grievous would have a chance a slim chance but Lord Varder after Mustfar Anakin Skywalker Master of the Force crush .This is what happen lord Varder would grab him with the force .the rip off his legs and arms and then use Force Lighting that has never been seen before .Lord Varder easy win .
