Скачать или смотреть Star Wars Archives Episodes I, II, III - Kenobi VS Grievous Behind the Scenes (Episode III)

The famous duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous appears in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), set on Utapau. It's a brief but iconic lightsaber fight where Grievous wields four lightsabers (taken from fallen Jedi), while Obi-Wan uses his single blue blade before famously switching to a blaster to exploit Grievous' vulnerability (his organic components and fear of being shot).

Behind-the-scenes details for this sequence are somewhat limited compared to longer duels like Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, as Grievous is fully CGI (motion-captured and animated), and the fight choreography was designed to showcase his multi-arm ferocity without a prolonged physical bout. Here's what stands out from production insights:

Choreography origins — The fight draws from stunt performer work during pre-production for Revenge of the Sith. Early rehearsals and stunt tests featured human performers (likely doubles for Obi-Wan and Grievous concepts) in two-arm versions before the character was finalized with four mechanical arms. This evolved into the spinning, whirlwind-style attacks Grievous uses in the film. Recent fan recreations and breakdowns on platforms like Instagram and TikTok often recreate or reference these early stunt-based versions for comparison.

Grievous' creation and performance — As a fully digital character, Grievous' movements came from motion capture and keyframe animation by ILM. Behind-the-scenes footage (seen in various making-of clips and YouTube shorts) highlights how his cough, body language, and combat style were refined. Director George Lucas and the team emphasized Grievous as a "Jedi killer" trained by Count Dooku, but the fight was kept short to reflect Obi-Wan's tactical efficiency rather than a drawn-out slugfest.

Deleted or alternate concepts — There are references to extended or alternate versions of the confrontation in fan discussions and clips (e.g., on TikTok and YouTube), including ideas for a more elaborate duel before it was trimmed for pacing. The final scene prioritizes Obi-Wan's classic "so uncivilized" line after using the blaster.
Making-of resources — Official Revenge of the Sith documentaries and featurettes (available on Disney+ or older DVDs) cover Grievous' design, voice (Matthew Wood), and the Utapau set build, with some glimpses of fight prep. Fan-uploaded clips often compile raw stunt rehearsals or early tests showing the evolution from two-armed to four-armed combat.
