I have to be blunt, I cranked this video out as quickly as I could using two characters that I have a huge amount of re-usable material on. Furthermore, this versus short will not receive a tie-in Post-Mortem, as I intend to make General Grievous the subject of a dedicated special, and I intend to cover Battlemaster Darach alongside Lord Vindican, as the majority of their feats are against one another.
My analysis of Jedi Battlemaster Kao Cen Darach will draw from his primary appearance in the Return cinematic trailer, with background information pulled from The Old Republic Encyclopedia, The Journal Of Gnost-Dural, and The Old Republic M.M.O. itself. In addition, I will also be examining the available behind the scenes material for the Return trailer, as it provides a glimse into what was going on off-camera during the Korriban Station duel.
My analysis of Separatist General Grievous will pull from his primary appearances in the Revenge Of The Sith film, comic, novelization and visual dictionary, in addition to the Clone Wars microseries and its tie-in digest comics, the Expanded Universe novel Labyrinth Of Evil, and the various Clone Wars-era Dark Horse comic series. It should go without saying at this point, but I will be focusing specifically on Grievous' depictions in pre-2008 Star Wars media, ignoring his appearances in The Clone Wars animated series.
Without any further delay, allow me to present Kao Cen Darach Vs. General Grievous.
Let's begin.
