Talk:Great Jedi Purge

message: I removed the following text regarding the implimentation: "in retaliation for two failed Jedi assassination attempts on his life "
Two points: 
1) Palpatine created the Clone Army with the INTENT of destroying the Jedi all along.
2) Even had that not been true, Mace and the Council Masters went to the Chancellor's office to ARREST Palpatine, not kill him.70.129.191.138 (talk) 06:03, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

I am very curious to know if Lucas ever established a timeline that gives the actual DATE of the Jedi Purge - or the date "Order 66" was issued? If not, I'd like to suggest Natunda the 13th in the month of Welona, 19 BBY as that has a nice ring to it and futher cements the uncanny parallels between the Jedi and Templar Knights.
*the way the jedis were all killed in revenge of the sith was the same tactict used when the templars were abolished; a single order to attack and kill any jedi/templar on the spot because they were traders/evil against the church  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.248.48 (talk) 05:26, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Mythic Parallels - Jedi and Templars

message: As you may have noticed, I have removed these esteemed gentlemen from the list of Jedi killed during the Jedi Purge. The reason for this is a simple one: they were not killed during the Jedi Purge; rather, their deaths were the Purge's immediate precursor. They died before Palpatine crowned himself Emperor, before Order 66 was issued, and before Anakin became Darth Vader. If you feel them worthy of inclusion merely because they were killed by Darth Sidious, should not the Jedi killed during the Yinchorri uprising, the Battle of Naboo, Outbound Flight, the Clone Wars—indeed, all of Palpatine's reign—be included as well? Discuss. Jon Hart 19:46, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The last time I checked, a battle was a hostile meeting of opposing military forces in the course of a war and a purge was the systematic killing of a group of people over time. The Jedi Purge was part of the Galactic Civil War, but it was not a battle.
:The purge could be made up of battles, we don't really know, but it wasn't a battle in itself.
Look, I'm not questioning whether this article should exist, I'm just stating it shouldn't be listed as a battle.
I think whoever said the Purge isn't a battle is right. Saying the Purge is a battle would be like saying the Holocaust or Cambodian genocide were battles. But there may have been battles between the Empire and the last Jedi. Also, who keeps reversing "battle before" and "battle after"? It just makes stuff more complicated.- B-101 12:23, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Battle"? 

message: What is it referred too in the Star Wars Universe? Purge? Massacre?
Granted, I'm only basing this on the trailer, but in it Palpatine says something to the effect, "every single Jedi is now an enemy of the Republic." Doesn't that mean that the Jedi Purge took place before the formation of the Empire? Kuralyov 04:08, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: This is wrong, wrong, wrong! Palpatine begun the purge - order 66 - long before he had announced the creation of the Empire. 
Perhaps it should be thusly:
The Emperor, taking advantage of his near dictatorial powers granted by the senate, and possible using his dark side powers to manipulate the clones, ordered the Army of the Republic to execute Order 66-the total extermination of all living Jedi throughout the galaxy. This move would allow him to announce the creation of the galactic empire unhindered, as well as being a victory for the Sith. 
Anakin (Darth Vader) brought a thousand Clone Storm troopers to invade the Jedi Temple and execute every Jedi. Every Jedi, including the ‘younglings’, within the temple was slaughtered by the newest sith lord and the elite clone troopers. 
The purge was successful as it played of the way the Jedi had been spread through the galaxy fighting the separatists under the command of Palpatine. Although the Jedi where formidable opponents, especially in groups, alone they where in no position to defend themselves from the betrayal of the Clone troopers, and within a short period of time numerous where killed.  
If no one objects I will change it on the morrow. --bquanta 12:52, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Let's not forget Morgan Katarn, Jedi and father to the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series hero, Kyle Katarn. He surely survived the Purge. But did he marry someone? Or was Kyle an accident?
-Morgan wasn't a Jedi.  Hence, I have removed him from the list of survivors.
However Qu Rahn, was most certainly a Jedi, and survived. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Qu_Rahn  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.98.71.245 (talk) 03:19, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  What about Morgan Katarn? 

message: In the ROTS movie, it is stated by Obi-Wan that "Master Vos" (and at least I think this means Quinlan) has moved his troops to Boz Pity. In the ROTS comic we see him (although the name is not given, it is either him or his identical brother) get blasted off of a tank. Surprisingly, this seems to happen on Kashyyyk rather than on Boz Pity. But that's a minor detail - we don't actually see him die. And indeed, in Dark Horse's SW Tales #11 "Ghost", we see young Han Solo get saved from a swoop gang by an mysterious old man. And he is none other than our very own Quinlan Vos. So he survivided the Purge, and I actually fixed that detail earlier, but now someone has put him back to the dead list. Right now I don't have the energy to fix that (and Quinlan's biography), but maybe someone else could do that? If you need extra assurance about him not being dead, go to jediquinlan.com and read the biography...
:He is dead. Star Wars Tales comics are not a part of Star Wars continuity. Sorry. -- Jon Hart
::Actually, Star Wars Tales is now considering canon. I think #11 is still the pre-canon decision, but I know all new ones are. Just gotta be careful with that now. Hengeworks 01:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Isn't the number a barely hidden reference to 666? I was thinking that "order 666" is too long (and beside that maybe too obvious), and "order 6" too short. If it is the case, shouldn't it be mentionned somewhere? Fafner 14:44, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: What do you think, should padawans who survived the Purge be added to the survivors list, even though they never officially reached the rank of Jedi Knight? Nitpicking, I know, but it'd be nice to hear what you lot think... I know at least one Jedi-in-training who survived, namely Kam Solusar.
:I'm sure that other Jedis are not "presumed dead" because no Jedi was a suvivor of Order 66, only Obi-Wan and Yoda are the only ones mentioned to survive the Purge. DarthPlaegis, 8:40, August 7, 2005

replies: text: It looks to me to be original research, which is a no-no.  It reads like a high school essay, and seems to me to be a mishmash of urban legends (the Friday the 13th thing), Dan Brown's conspiracy theories and grasping at straws (comparing the Clone Wars to the Crusades).  So I have added that flag to the section as well.  If it doesn't get cited/referenced, then it should be deleted. --DarthBinky 17:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The survivors section was edited several times to state that Ploo Koon was among the survivors.

message: Who keep saying this article is of "low importance"? Umm, hey guys, whoever is paying attention, the Great Jedi Purge is a CENTRAL, DEFINING EVENT of the Star Wars Universe, having a Star Wars section on Wikipedia without reference to it is like having a World War II article with no mention of Pearl Harbor. If somebody wants to argue that Wikipedia shouldn't have a Star Wars section okay, but as long as it does this event must be chronicled.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.170.95.176 (talk) 17:26, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

message: From watching the films and reading some of the expanded universe stuff, (which is on the whole badly written, trite and contrived pap), there is a underlying plot concerning Palpatine/the creation of the clones/order 66 and the whole balance of the force thing.
The whole plot revolves around an extended timecale of Palpatine/Darth Sidious putting in motion plans using the Jedi mentioned in Attack of the Clones (the one who got the cloners to create the clone army and who presumably removed the cloners planet from the Jedi archive...... and then was killed before The Phantom Menace....... however many years that was), incorporating Order 66 and Palpatine's Dark Side premonitions of the future.........
This would also infer Palpatine knew, or at least foresaw the whole Anakin 'Balance of the force' crap..... But didn't see the 'Darth Vader develops a conscience' bit of Return Of The Jedi......
Forgive me if I'm pointing out something overtly obvious..... But I've trawled the whole Star Wars thing on Wiki, and no one seems to have pointed this out...... Not in the Talk Pages, or in the articles.......
If I am wrong, please point it out and I'll read and digest the well written treatise, if not..... can someone put in some kind of 'dark side/palpatine/darth sidious' timeframe on what happenened before The Phantom Menace?

message: This article says, "It was mentioned by George Lucas in the Revenge of the Sith DVD commentary that Anakin thought he was doing the right thing saving Palpatine's life when he cut off Windu's hand with his lightsaber. However, Anakin did not think that Palpatine would kill Windu, and as a result of Windu's death Anakin believed that he had gone too far to be forgiven. To save his life, he had no other choice but to join with Palpatine."
Where in the commentary is this said.  It is not what is said as Anakin turns.  Lucas restates that Anakin did so to save Padme.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.130.17.187 (talk) 03:47, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
