The possibilities of the universe would have felt unbounded. I likely would have tried to draw the wildest aliens I could imagine fitting somewhere in the corners of the galaxy.

He was shown to be smart and extremely powerful in a fight, with a strong vendetta against the Republic. Grievous fought loyally for the Separatists until his death at the hands of the Jedi.

However, in the movie, it was stated that Padmé had “lost the will to live” and died of a broken heart. In her own words, Anakin Skywalker’s fall to the dark side broke her heart.
