John-Rhys Davies replaces Gary Oldman as Grevious

The talkback section below shows member replies.

What i'm interested in is how he'll pull it off, it is quite odd how Harrison Ford and he are now connected indirectly, each being in Indiana Jones and Star Wars, about 25 years apart on SW!

Great choice IMO if that's true; I'll believe it when I see it.

This had already been discussed in the current Gary Oldman/Episode III thread.

Davies was Salla in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indy Last Crusade.

And Davies is an excellent choice. He's quite good with various voices, as can be seen with his work in LoTR especially (treebeard and gimli).

So not only Christopher Lee but JRD passes through the great unfathomable SW/LOTR divide... this will be interesting.

Oldman to Rhys-Davies: Unions. Very dangerous. You go first!

I look forward to a long boring monologue about the "Grevious Wives" in the special edition.

As Spongebob fans may recall, Rhys-Davies is also the voice for the super villian ManRay.

I dunno. I think his voice is too distinctive that it might just sound like a techno'ed up Treebeard.

Oh don't forget about Bruce Spence either. Now Bruce Spence is truly the ultimate trilogy man, appearing in: LoTR: Rotk as the mouth of Sauron, he's gonna be in Episode 3 as Tion Medon (whoever that is), he was in Matrix Revolutions as the Trainman, and of course he was in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

I think basically, there's a rule if you make a part three in a trilogy, you must include Bruce Spence. Ha.

Agreed. I hope this isn't the case. I've had enough of Davies in the past three years, thank you very much.
