As the exchange was made, General Grievous was in a set of blinders that kept him looking straight ahead. Meanwhile, Anakin had to be drug out of the Separatist ship after being tortured by the MagnaGuards' electrostaffs. Thus, the two passed by each other, but were not able to see each other.
Grievous was never a Sith, as he was most likely a tool used by Sidious and Dooku during TCW, also Grievous was never Force-Sensitive, he's a cyborg and he just excelled in saber combat.
Why Palpatine Didn't Allow Grievous to Duel Anakin During the Clone Wars
Why did Anakin say Grievous was short?
Grievous starts by saying, “Anakin Skywalker, I was expecting someone with your reputation to be a little older.” Anakin retorts, “General Grievous, you're shorter than I expected.” This was likely intended as no more than a throwaway line and a humorous greeting, but it clearly indicates that the two have never met ...
Count Dooku was certainly aware of his master's identity and while it isn't clear if Grevious was aware or not, in the original 2003 series which came out before the Revenge of the Sith it made it clear that Grevious was unaware of Palpatine's identity to the point that Grevious threatened his life.
Grievous Hero commanded the heroic Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence and followed Dooku's orders. Dooku later got fed up with Grievous's "failures" (due to plot armor) and tried to kill the heroic General by having a trap set up for him to "test his skills" in Grievous's castle.
Grievous was originally Qymaen jai Sheelal, an organic reptilian humanoid native from the planet Kalee. The Kaleesh were at war with the rival Huk species and Sheelal was considered a demigod by his people for his victories in the Huk War.
His cybernetics presumably provide him with the right precision, meaning he can use any color he wishes without difficulty. And since the character's hatred for the Jedi is pronounced, it only makes sense that his “trophy” lightsabers would be exclusively green and blue: he doesn't hunt Dooku or his allies.
He has an intense rivalry with evil Obi-Wan Kenobi as Obi-Wan started the rivalry when Grievous first met the infamous General Kenobi on the Malevolence. Grievous constantly wants to kill Kenobi face-to-face any chance he gets as he will even have traps set up for other Jedi just to face the sinister Kenobi himself.
Grievous -- always a tool for the Dark Side and ultimately in the Emperor's thrall -- may have lacked his master's attention when he most needed it. And, like all of Palpatine's servants, he became superfluous after serving his purpose.
Grievous was trained and designed to engage with Jedi in a way that would disadvantage them by exploiting their ways. “A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” The Jedi Generals in the Clone Wars were trained and raised to never use the force for attack.
Grievous was originally a Kaleesh from the planet Kalee, where he lived his early life. During the Kaleesh conflict against the Huk, Sheelal quickly learned the art of war, specializing in a slugthrower rifle. Quickly amassing a great number of Huk kills, he soon became seen as a demigod among his people.
Why didn't Count Dooku have a Sith name? He did have a sith name it was Darth Tyranus. However Count dooku was quite different compared to the other sith in the fact that he didn't really submerge himself fully in the dark side and that's why he never had sith eyes.
While Dooku was certainly evil -- and even had a Darth sobriquet, Tyranus, that he rarely used -- he was never quite a Sith, at least not in the true sense. Unlike those who espoused the Sith doctrine, Dooku wasn't motivated by hatred or fear, but by the same purpose that drove him as a Jedi.
Even as the hundreds of Jedi fought valiantly on Geonosis, they still didn't know. It wasn't until after Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Anakin had fought Dooku one-on-one that they found out he had been training as a Sith. As Yoda says, The dark side, I sense in you.
A Sith Lord with the ability to cheat death and create life, Plagueis is the enigmatic mentor of Sheev Palpatine / Darth Sidious, who, in accordance to the Sith's Rule of Two, eventually betrays Plagueis by murdering him in his sleep, taking his place as Sith Master.
Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are the same person. They have similar character traits and Vader is just a name like Tyrannus or Sidious. They dont change their personality because of another name, neither does Anakin.
In Star Wars, younglings were traditionally recruited into the Jedi Order from an early age — so young that 9-year-old Anakin Skywalker faced opposition as being too old to train.
Ahsoka is sent by Yoda to become Anakin's Padawan, which he is none too pleased about. The duo don't really get on at first in a clash of personalities, and when Ahsoka gives her Master the snarky nickname "Skyguy," he warns her: "Don't get snippy with me." And so, the nicknames Snips and Skyguy were born.
