Discover the true lore of the MagnaGuards, the elite electrostaff wielding droids that served General Grievous during the Clone Wars. In this deep dive, we explore the origins of the MagnaGuards, why Count Dooku and the Separatists designed them specifically to kill Jedi, and how their combat programming was based on the memories and fighting styles of fallen warriors. Learn why MagnaGuards were one of the few non Force users capable of dueling Jedi Masters, how they countered lightsabers, and what made them such a terrifying presence on the battlefield. From their role as Grievous’s personal bodyguards to their psychological impact on the Jedi Order, this video breaks down everything you need to know about the IG-100 MagnaGuard and why they were far more dangerous than ordinary battle droids.
