Grevious is an apprentice? I thought he's more of a robot hybrid who realized light sabers are great to kill people and 6 are even better. Doesn't he have zero force?
He's not Sith but he is one of Palpatine's puppets and is meant to "foreshadow" Vader. I use the quotes because I'm not sure it's appropriate to call it foreshadowing when it gets made 30 years after what it's foreshadowing.
Narratively it is foreshadowing. Doesn't matter what the release order is. Prequels often foreshadow events in the original series because that's how narratives work.
I get that, but the release order affects the viewing order for the consumer. For millions of us, 4, 5, and 6 came before 1, 2, and 3. Foreshadowing typically gives hints of what's to come. If you already know what's to come because that part of the story was told to you first, any foreshadowing doesn't feel like foreshadowing, it just feels like basic narrative cohesion.
