Star Wars: Tales Of The Empire Makes General Grievous Part Of Another Villain’s Tragic Origins – SlashFilm

Known in some circles as the Massacre of the Nightsisters, the Battle of Dathomir was a conflict during the Clone Wars between the Witches of Dathomir and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. This battle was first dramatized in the 19th episode of the fourth season of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” entitled “Massacre.” As a villain, General Grievous plays a role in the backstories of many characters, and he is newly introduced to Morgan Elsbeth in this battle, motivating her for the rest of her life.

As one of the Nightsisters, Elsbeth fought alongside her family against the Separatist battledroids, as well as against General Grievous himself. Fighting alongside her mother, they made a valiant effort to defend against him, but history had already been written against them and the battle still turned out to be a massacre. But Grievous took things one step further and added to the tragic backstory of Morgan Elsbeth in a surprising way.
