Talk:Order 66 (Star Wars)

message: The jedi where responsible for their own defeat and destruction, thanks to Master Windu actions. I don't really consider Yoda and "invincible Jedi" because no one is invincible. I rather change this article, because someone has change it several times to declare that he is in fact invincible. If he was to be invincible, he could have destroyed the Sith lord in the first place.
Perhaps someone must review this page again with much more details. Because someone is writing from his own point of view by saying "minions" or the "Invincible Jedi".
I guess that the only survivors of Order 66 were Obi-Wan and Yoda. None others are mentioned in the movies instead of them. DarthPlaegis, 8:35, August 7, 2005
I think that order 66 was a very sad moment in episode 3. I mean, I saw my favorite Jedi get blown to bits bay ARC-170's (guess who it is). However, George Lucas could have picked some cooler jedi to survive, even though it would interfere with the other movies. Oh well. I guess I'll have to get over it.  :)
:Acording to Yoda, in Return of the Jedi, he and Kenobi were the only survivors.  He told Luke that when he died, Luke would be "the last of the Jedi."  This is with Kenobi being dead.  So it would appear, at least, that the assesment that Yoda and Kenobi were the only ones to escape Order 66 is correct.   However, there have been refences in other written SW works that some others did escape.  In the Marvel Comics SW adventures it was revealed that a Jedi named Jedia had survived -- but he was killed saving Luke's life.  Still yet another survivor was revealed in Dark Empire II.  -- Jason Palpatine 21:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Invincible Jedi

message: "It was rumored that Order 66 was a directive ingrained in the clone troopers during their training. This rumor was debunked by George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars universe, in an interview with Star Wars Insider, who stated that it was simply an order. "  -- Article
I find this difficult to belive.  The numbering indicates that there are at least another 65 orders in addition to this one.  Palpatines remark "The time has come" clearly implies that the order had been there from the begining, and that the order was only a directive to to kill all Jedi.  
Uh --  hello?  Is there anybody there?

thread_title: It was NOT ingrained during their training?

message: Ok.  I deleted the reference of the order declaring the Jedi enemies of the state.  The numbering indicates that there are at least another 65 orders in addition to this one. Though we have no way of knowing WHEN the order was given to the troopers, the likelyhood of it being a declaration of the Jedi being enemies of the stae is minimal.  The clones were operation under the command of the Jedi throughout the war.  If the troops had been told they were enemies of the state -- conditioning or not -- they could not have effectivly operated under Jedi command.  The order then, had to have read something like "when I (Palpatine) commands, kill all Jedi."  The order would not have had anything to do with declaring them enemies of the state -- that is justification, and an order to a trooper does not need justification. -- Jason Palpatine 01:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't necessarily follow that there are another 65 orders; "Order 66" could just be a code phrase for the clones to initiate the purge. Applejuicefool 15:57, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: It was a pre-arranged command directing that all Jedi be put to death.

message: According to the "Galactic Battlegrounds" Database, Echuu Shen-Jon (another little-known Jedi) survived the Great Jedi Purge and went into hiding on Krant. It is not known, however, how he survived it. Also, if Yoda was supposedly invincible, he most likely would not have tried to destroy the Sith Lord. According to the Star Wars books, "the moment a Sith Lord is killed, someone in the galaxy replaces that Sith." So Yoda, being very wise, probably knew this and most likely did not attack the Sith Lord as he did not want to become a Sith Lord himself. Someone may bring up the issue that Darth Maul supposedly wasn't replaced by Count Dooku (Darth Tyranus), but I do not have the answer to that.
That's not necessarily canon though of course, although it could be true Solberg 05:35, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda Were NOT the Only Jedi To Survive

message: Article reads: "However, it is known that at least one group of clone commandos did not carry out the order. The reason is suspected to be because the clones had served alongside the Jedi, they gave them a chance to escape. They were executed by Darth Vader for the treason." Surely this is true of many of the clone Commandoes, including Cody et. al. The article doesn't say what made this particular group special. Irrevenant 12:47, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rationale for rebel clones? 

message: I have shortened this section quite drastically in response to a comment made on WikiProject: Countering Systemic Bias in Religion. The previous wording went into unnecessary detail about historical events and Christian theological concepts. It could have been gratuitously offensive to some Christian readers. I guess in the process I might not have been very reverential towards Star Wars, but there you go. It's an encyclopedia, not a fanzine. Keep up the good work. Itsmejudith 14:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Always cite your sources 

message: Just curious; has it ever been explained how master Jedi's with the ability to essentially read minds and whatnot managed to not notice the intent of the people standing behind them to shoot them in the back of the head? I mean, they more or less have "Spider Sense", and while I could understand them being overpowered, as was the case in some of the shown deaths, but this seems like something that would have been addressed at some point in the expanded universe. 71.255.94.31 20:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Possible explanations: (1) not all Jedi were skilled enough to turn completely around and block a shot behind them that fast, especially if they were under fire from enemies in front of them at the same time; (2) some Jedi reacted slowly because at first they didn't believe what their senses were telling them; (3) the clones were so disciplined that they could empty their minds and maintain a state of total calm as they carried out the order, possibly because they had done it so many times in training and simulations that it was automatic to them. 68.44.13.236 08:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article needs work 

message: In the past days I entered this paragraph into the article.
==Connection to Real History==   
The essence of Order 66 and the way it is carried out is similar to the order issued by 
Pope Clement V to simultaneusly arrest all the members of the Knights Templar, 
effectively ending the military order influence and power across Europe. 
Unfortunately a user does not agree inserting this text because he claims this is an Original Research (see also Wikipedia:No original research). This is not true, simply beacuse this is not a research at all, it is simply an extended connection between two articles. I presented it in a different paragraph, but I do not introduce any new concept to this article nor to the SW universe. I wanted to leave this comment here in order not to waste the information, I hope somebody in the future will be able to add this or a similar information to the main article.Luca Mauri 08:50, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
