Revenge of the Sith shows how both of them escaped and devised their long-term plan to one day defeat the Emperor. Major Jedi characters like Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi went into exile until the Original Trilogy, in which they tried to keep the traditions of the Jedi alive by training Luke Skywalker. Others lasted only a few months after the initial order.īoth Legends continuity and the Disney canon feature Jedi who, one way or another, survived past the end of the Clone Wars. Some Jedi slipped through the cracks long enough to see the rise of the Rebellion. Are they other fail-safes for Jedi uprisings? Or simply commands for clones to bring Palpatine his favorite foods? Who survived Order 66?Īlthough the massacre of the Jedi was supposed to be complete, it’s a big galaxy.

It’s a bit of a joke among Star Wars fans that Order 66 implies there are at least 65 other orders, none of which have ever been elaborated on in canon. That’s why the cloners expected a Jedi to come when Obi-Wan Kenobi visits them in Attack of the Clones. He didn’t live to actually place this order, but Darth Sidious and Count Dooku secretly made sure it moved ahead. Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas had once contacted cloners about ordering the Clone Army because he saw a prophecy of what he thought was an upcoming threat the Republic needed to defend against. In fact, they were thought to be the work of the Jedi. The creation of the clones couldn’t even be traced to him. This was how Order 66 was possible, whether the clones wanted to follow the order or not. His search eventually leads him right to Palpatine, where the clone guards killed him, never knowing they were serving the person who would one day be responsible for the fall of the Republic.Īs Fives discovered, every clone was implanted with a control chip that could override their free will whenever Palpatine ordered it. When his friend killed a Jedi commander for what seems to be no reason, clone trooper Fives investigates what’s going on. The “Clone Protocol 66” arc in The Clone Wars season 6 shows how an accidental early activation of Order 66 almost revealed the whole plan.
