Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
Star Warshas last explain why so many Jedi survivedOrder 66 . Palpatine envision theClone Wars as the ultimate Jedi bunker , and everything derive to a head with Order 66 . At Palpatine ’s command , clone troopers across the coltsfoot turned on the Jedi who had served as their generals , gunning them down . It was brutal and in force - at least as far asStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithimplied - and yet , since then , there have been a surprising number ofOrder 66 survivors .
Marc Sumerak’sThe Secrets of the Clone Troopersaddresses this issue head - on . An in - population account of the clone from the perspective of Captain Rex , it features a section on society 66 in which he wishes he ’d been one of the strong one who ’d successfully resisted it .
" Even though Order 66 was designed to be a directive that we could n’t resist , not every clone stop up pulling the initiation . Some , like my friends in Clone Force 99 , were less susceptible to the inhibitor chip ’s influence , due to their hereditary augmentation . Others were merely potent enough to resist , at least until their Jedi general could get away . "
This stand for with former hints inStar Wars : The Bad Batchthat suggested the mutant clones of Clone Force 99 were n’t the only ones to resist purchase order 66 .
What This Order 66 Revelation Means For Star Wars
Rex is being too hard on himself inThe Secrets of the Clone Troopers ; in truth , he set the precedent for this estimation at theend ofStar Wars : The Clone Warsseason 7 , when he battled against the urge to open up fire on Ahsoka Tano . Although his opposition was ultimately stillborn , his struggle did serve Ahsoka realize something was incorrect , and she was able to figure out the problem and remove Rex ’s micro chip . Skilled and powerful Jedi only need a moment ’s notice to save their lives .
This may even explicate why some of the Order 66 survivors have feel so random . It make sensory faculty for Yoda to sense the deaths of Jedi across the galaxy and defend himself , but theWookiee Jedi Gungi- barely a Padawan - is much more improbable . It seems , though , that Order 66 was a lot more chaotic than we ’d think , and potentially many more Jedi last .
Our Take On Order 66’s Survivors
This subtle retcon has been coming for quite some time , and fits well with what we ’ve date before . Order 66 was still a horrific success , an human action of racial extermination confide against the Jedi . If even 2 % of the Jedi survive , that would still mean 9,800 Jedi were pour down in an New York minute . It must be noted this is roughly in line with George Lucas ' own plans , because his subsequence trilogy plans saw Luke Skywalker discover 50 - 100 Jedi who ’d hold up beyondReturn of the Jedi .
Star Wars has received backlash for having too many Order 66 survivor , but George Lucas ' original design reveals that he would ’ve made it worse .
This further helps explain why Palpatine turned on the clone . He would probably have been fine with maintaining a clone USA whose dedication was unswerving , but the resistance of some clones would have concerned him . The great scoundrel ofStar Warswould prefer an Imperial US Army who had been indoctrinated , and whose brainwashing was under his own personal ascendance .
