Obi-Wan V.S. The Magna-Guards
In the finished film, Obi-Wan quickly disposes of Grievous' four Magna-Guard droids by dropping a huge crate on top of them with the Force.
However, that was actually the conclusion to what was originally supposed to be a 3 on 1 duel between Obi-Wan and the Guards.
As the fight begins, Obi-Wan immediately cuts down one of the guards and then continues to battle the other three simultaneously.
The fight would end with Obi-Wan dropping the metal crate on top of the droids as seen in the movie.
Here is the excerpt from the "ROTS Illustrated Screenplay" E-book...
The BODYGUARDS raise their power staffs to knock OBI-WAN away, but OBI-WAN ducks as the deadly staffs whistle over his head.
The Jedi's lightsaber ignites, and OBI-WAN deftly cuts one BODYGUARD in two. His staff flies into the air and is caught by GENERAL GRIEVOUS.
The other THREE BODYGUARDS attack OBI-WAN with and intense fury.
OBI-WAN uses the Force to release a piece of equipment from the ceiling. It drops on the BODYGUARDS, smashing them. OBI-WAN walks toward GRIEVOUS,
slashing the last BODYGUARD to pieces. BATTLE DROIDS move toward OBI-WAN.
