Order 66 was the Clone Trooper command given by Emperor Palpatine causing all Clones to execute their Jedi generals, but there were a handful of survivors in the current Star Wars canon. Between the various comic runs and two animated television series taking place during and immediately after the Clone Wars, much has been revealed about which Jedi managed to survive.
The Clone Wars was a three-year period of conflict in Star Wars between the Republic, the official galaxies-wide governing body, and the Confederacy of Independent Nations. While the Confederacy used an army comprised entirely of droids, the Grand Army of the Republic was comprised of clone troopers led by their Jedi generals.
These soldiers were created and raised in a facility on the planet Kamino by Kaminoan scientists, and they were commissioned by Sifo-Dyas, a Jedi gifted with foresight, a decade before the start of the Clone Wars. However, Darth Sidious took control of Clone production, selecting bounty hunter Jango Fett (Temura Morrison) as the genetic template for the clone army and each clone was implanted with an inhibitor chip that, when activated, would cause the clones to respond to orders without question. Sifo-Dyas intended these chips to prevent any treacherous behavior from the clones. When Sidious took over, Order 66, a protocol that would identify all Jedi as traitors to the Republic, was added to the clones’ inhibitor chips.
Yoda
In Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Master Yoda was one of only two Jedi known to have survived Order 66. At the time, Yoda was on Kashyyyk helping the native Wookiees fight off the Confederacy’s Droid Army. With the help of Chewbacca and Tarfful, Yoda fled Kashyyyk to meet with Bail Organa and Obi-Wan on Alderaan. Shortly after, Yoda and Obi-Wan returned to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant where they learned of Anakin’s betrayal and Palpatine’s Sith identity. With the Order decimated and no more Jedi left to train, Yoda went into hiding.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan was on the planet Utapau hunting down General Grievous when Clone Commander Cody got the order to strike down his Jedi general. Obi-Wan, who was traversing up a cliff on the lizard-like Boga, fell into the waters below and managed to escape the planet without the clones noticing. After his duel with Anakin on Mustafar, Obi-Wan dropped infant Luke to his aunt and uncle and Tatooine and spent most of his remaining years protecting Luke from afar.
Ahsoka Tano and Maul
When Ashoka Tano was introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars as Anakin’s padawan, fans were sure she would perish during Order 66. She left the Jedi Order during the season 5 finale and her subsequent book and appearance in Star Wars Rebels revealed that she did survive past Order 66, but it wasn’t until the recent Clone Wars finale that fans discovered just what a close call she had. Ahsoka was on her way to deliver a captured Maul to the Jedi Council on Coruscant when the order was given. After setting Maul free as a distraction and learning about the inhibitor chip, Ahsoka managed to remove Rex’s. The two fought their way through former friends until their ship crashed on an unidentified snowy moon that looks like Hoth. Maul managed to escape, and only Ahsoka and Rex survived the crash and faked their own death.
The Grand Inquisitor
The Grand Inquisitor was the main antagonist of the first season of Star Wars Rebels, but after his death it was revealed that he used to be a Jedi Knight and a Temple guard. He was present for Ahsoka’s trial when she was accused of bombing the Jedi Temple and betraying the Order. It was ultimately revealed that Ahsoka was innocent, but the false accusation and the Order’s treatment of Ahsoka left the Grand Inquisitor disillusioned with the Jedi Order and he defected before Order 66, ultimately falling to the dark side. Later, he was approached by Emperor Palpatine about heading the Inquisitorius, a band of Jedi hunters.
Caleb Dume
Once the padawan of Depa Billaba, fans first met Caleb as Kanan Jarrus whose backstory is revealed in Star Wars: Rebels. Kanan was only a child at the end of the Clone Wars and survived thanks to his master’s sacrifice. After, young Caleb was taken in by the smuggler Janus Kasmir, who advised him to lose all connection to the Jedi Order, even his name. Thus, Kanan Jarrus was born.
Luminara Unduli
Jedi Master Luminara Unduli was revealed to have survived the initial execution in Star Wars Rebels. When the order was given, Luminara was on Kashyyyk alongside Yoda, and instead of being killed she was captured and taken to the Spire on Stygeon Prime. She was executed by the Grand Inquisitor not long after, but the Empire kept her remains and spread rumors that she lived into order to lure surviving Jedi.
Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister
The Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister were members of the Imperial Inquisitors and secondary antagonists in Star Wars Rebels alongside the Grand Inquisitor. It was revealed in the Darth Vader comics that all inquisitors were fallen Jedi. Any Jedi who weren’t executed as part of the Great Jedi Purge after Order 66 were turned to the dark side and tasked with hunting down surviving Jedi, Force-sensitive children, and political dissidents. Both the Fifth Brother and Seventh sister were unnamed former Jedi who survived Order 66 and were forced into the Inquisitorius program.
Trilla Suduri and the Ninth Sister
Other members of the Inquistorious were Trilla Suduri, the Second Sister, and the unnamed Ninth Sister, both antagonistic characters in the canonical video game Jedi: Fallen Order. Trilla was the former padawan of Cere Junda, and in the early days of the Empire, they went into hiding with a group of younglings they were protecting. Unfortunately, both were captured and subjected to torture. Cere managed to escape, but Trilla’s torture turned her into the sadistic Second Sister. Her story as revealed in Fallen Order gave fans insight to how fallen Jedi were turned into Inquisitors. The Ninth Sister perished in battle at the hands of Cal Kestis while Trilla was struck down by Darth Vader himself for her failure to comply with her Inquisitor duties.
Cere Junda
After she was captured by Empire forces, Cere Junda broke under torture and gave up her padawan, a contributing factor to Trilla’s fall to the dark side. Some time after Trilla’s transformation into the Second Sister, she was brought in to mock Cere’s failure as a Jedi and a Master. Overflowing with rage and regret, Cere tapped into the dark side and killed everyone in the room (though Trilla survived) before making her escape. Cere cut herself off from the Force after that, afraid of falling deeper into the dark side, until she met Cal Kestis.
Cal Kestis
Cal Kestis, the hero of Fallen Order was a child at the end of the Clone Wars and the padawan of Jaro Tapal, the only know member of Lasat species to be trained as a Jedi. Like Yoda, Tapal felt the fall of his Jedi brethren during Order 66 and managed to protect Cal long enough to safely escape to the planet Bracca. Tapal, unfortunately, was fatally wounded and died in his padawan’s arms. Cal has carried his perished master’s lightsaber ever since.
Taron Malicos
Taron Malicos was a trusted Jedi General during the Clone Wars who was first introduced in Fallen Order. After he struck down his clone troopers, Malicos crash-landed on Dathomir, the home of the Zabraks and the now nearly extinct Nightsisters, dark side witches. When he met Merrin, the last surviving Nightsister, he told her the Jedi were responsible for the genocide of her sisters and promised her revenge if she taught him Nightsister magick. When Cal Kestis came to Dathomir and learned of Malicos’ deceit, the two dueled until Merrin used her Nightsister magick to entomb Malicos in the ground. It’s possible more about Malicos may be learned as the Fallen Order franchise expands with future games.
Jocasta Nu
Jocasta Nu was the librarian of the Jedi Archives in the Temple on Coruscant. It hasn’t been revealed how exactly Jocasta survived the initial execution, but in the Darth Vader comics, Sidious wanted Jocasta to be brought to him alive since her wealth of knowledge would have been valuable to the Empire. When Jocasta returned to the Jedi Temple for the holocron of Force-sensitive beings with plans to start a school and restore the Jedi Order, she crossed paths with the Grand Inquisitor when Darth Vader intervened. After a prolonged confrontation, Vader and a platoon of Coruscant shock troopers managed to capture and restrain Jocasta on a patrol transport. There, Jocasta revealed Darth Vader’s true identity, which she learned from a droid in the archives. To keep his secret, Vader killed every shock trooper and Jocasta, who accepted her fate.
Oppo Rancisis, Coleman Kcaj, Ka-Moon Kholi, and Selrahc Elous
Oppo Rancisis, Coleman Kcaj, Ka-Moon Kholi, and Selrahc Eluos were all names on a list of known survivors compiled by the Inquisitorius, as shown in the Darth Vader comics. Oppo Rancisis was a Jedi Master who served on the Council during the invasion of Naboo, and Coleman Kcaj was a Jedi Master who served on the Council at the end of the Clone Wars and was present for Ashoka Tano’s trial in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Not much is known about the other two, nor are the exact details of how they survived revealed in the Star Wars canon.
Kirak Infil’a
Kirak Infil’a was not an active member of the Jedi Order during Order 66. It was revealed in the Darth Vader comics that he felt the deaths of the Jedi, the same way Yoda and Jaro Topal did. On the hunt for a kyber crystal, Darth Vader tracked Infil’a to a Jedi Temple on an unnamed moon. Infil’a managed to escape Vader, but the two clashed again Am’balaar City. This time, Vader defeated and executed Infil’a and took the former Jedi’s lightsaber to fashion a new one for himself.
Naq Med
Introduced in the young adult novel Force Collector, Naq Med left the Jedi Order some time before Order 66 and had a daughter with an unidentified woman. After learning about the Great Jedi purge and a confrontation with the Grand Inquisitor, Naq Med abandoned his family to protect them. In the book, he was tracked down by his great-grandson Karr Nuq Sin who was a skilled psychometrist, a Force power seen in Fallen Order and which is responsible for Rey’s visions in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Ferren Barr
Ferren Barr was a Padawan when Order 66 was issued, and it is unknown how exactly he survived the initial execution. After his exile, Ferren managed to hack into a Coruscant Security Force hologram and learned of Darth Vader’s identity. With this knowledge, Ferren began recruiting people sympathetic to the Jedi’s fall in order to overthrow the Sith’s control over the galaxy. He was ultimately slain in battle during a confrontation with Darth Vader.
Eeth Koth
A Zabrak Jedi Master, Eeth Koth had left the Order prior to Order 66 and some years later had a daughter. Moments after his daughter’s birth, Darth Vader in his comic appeared, flanked by a group of Inquisitors. Eeth Koth was struck down by Vader and his daughter was kidnapped for Project Harvester.
Zubain Ankonori and company
Zubain Ankonori was a Zabrak Jedi who was first introduced in the mobile game Star Wars: Uprising. After somehow surviving Order 66, Ankonori was given refuge at a Jedi shrine in Anoat alongside fellow Jedis Mususiel, Khandra, and Nuhj, all new Star Wars canon characters introduced in Uprising alongside Ankonori. Unfortunately, all four were ultimately slain by the Inquisitors.
