A group of Star Wars fans just realized something about the ruthless warlord with the subtle name General Grievous. This newly discovered (to some) detail could explain why the big coughing cyborg proved to be such a pain in the lekku for the Jedi.
Most will remember General Grievous as the Star Wars villain in Revenge of the Sith who coughed a lot and had 4 lightsabers. Others will remember him for being the reason they impulsively cannot avoid saying «General Kenobi» in response to a «hello there.» But his main thing in the movie itself is proving to be more than a match for the Jedi, even making a point to collect the lightsabers of those he killed. He explained his dueling expertise with a line about training in the Jedi arts with Count Dooku, presumably brought on by a chance meeting in an unfortunate name support group.

Star Wars: 8 Times Non-Force Users Defeated Force Users
Fans on the official Star Wars subreddit (via u/kingjaymes1234) recently noticed an interesting tidbit in the book Star Wars: Graphics. While technically now non-canon, the informational book details various aspects of the first six Star Wars movies. One such statistic is the midi-chlorian count in several major Force users from the series. Fans will remember that midi-chlorians were a controversial new aspect of the franchise introduced in The Phantom Menace, which alleged they were microscopic organisms that affect an individual's ability to use the Force.

At first glance, one might think this means the asthmatic antagonist became his ultimate metal self due to a predisposition for fighting Jedi. But apparently, this seems to have happened after Grievous became a cyborg. One user pointed out that, in Legends continuity, Grievous was infused with midi-chlorian-rich blood. This didn't necessarily make him a Force user, but it did allow him to heal more quickly from the operations that turned him into the creepy tin can viewers got to know in Revenge of the Sith.
«In Legends Grievous was infused with midichlorian rich blood. It did not transfer force sensitivity, but it did help him heal from his many procedures.»
The thing is, midi-chlorians have steadily become less and less important over the years. While The Phantom Menace seemed to imply they were a crucial factor in determining an individual's Force sensitivity, other movies and shows since have effectively retconned that
