If you stay with Star Wars fans enough time, you realize that it is not the force that keeps fans of this galaxy very, very close together. On the other hand, he complains infinitely about the holes of the plot in our favorite franchise that sends us to howl of television to howl in the empty vacuum of subnetdits and comments sections about George Lucas ruining our childhood. Today, however, I am focusing on a fans complaint that you finally need dieAnd that is a control over the amount of Jedi that survived order 66.
Order 66
Originally, Emperor Palpatine intended No Jedi had survived order 66 because this was his great impulse to kill them all and consolidate his control of the galaxy. While we already knew that Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi would survive this purge, the canonical shows of Star Wars, books and comics continue to reveal additional survivors. Each new revelation brings a new wave of fans complaints that so many Jedi should never have avoided the wrath of the emperor, but the truth is that it was always crazy To assume that order 66 could successfully kill all except two of our favorite spatial magicians.
Who are all the Jedi who survived order 66? There are some obvious characters like Ahsoka Tano and Kanan Jarrus, who debut in Clone wars and Star Wars rebelsrespectively. There are also favorite characters from fans such as Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress, the Dark Jedi and Dooku Disciple who ended up in love.
Speaking of dark side disciplines, the number of force sensitive to order that survived order 66 is quite crazy. This includes Darth Maul, the great inquisitor, his inquisitor Flunkie Reva and many more. In fact, if the Jedi and the Sith Together, almost three dozen of these space mystics survived in order 66, and this continues to bother fans who believe that Palpatine’s plan should have been more effective.
However, these complaints are deeply stupid for many reasons, including the fact that Order 66 was made mainly by cloned soldiers. Sure, Sith revenge It shows us how surprisingly easy it is to overwhelm Jedi with small weapons fire, but the film also shows us how easily seasoned Commander Cody would assume that a Jedi was dead without confirming death. Obi-Wan Kenobi basically fell into a little water and was supposed to be dead, so it is reasonable to assume that other force users survived order 66 due to incompetent clone leaders.
In addition, it was inevitable that a decent Jedi number had survived order 66 because they were scattered throughout the galaxy during the fight with the separatists. Some of them may have been in small infiltration equipment or even operating on their own trying to frustrate leaders such as General Graievous. In summary, not all Jedi were surrounded by a small army of clone soldiers, which makes it easier for them to survive the attacks of smaller groups and then obtain Obi-Wan’s warning to stay away from Coruscant.
Speaking of that, it was always fair to assume that many Jedi could have survived order 66 due to that warning. There were no 10,000 Jedi Knights in service at that time, and anyone who survived an initial clone attack had a fair possibility of discovering Palpatine’s betrayal and going to the ground. In addition, all the fact that Palpatine had inquisitors to implicitly track the Jedi fugitive reveals with how many survivors must have had to deal. Where there is smoke, there is fire and the existence of an Imperial Anti-Jedi-Jed squad implies that plenty More Jedi survived the purge of what Palpatine anticipated.
Who should have survived?
Finally, almost all fanboy complaints about characters that survived order 66 are based on the assumption that only Obi-Wan and Yoda should have achieved it. But it is simply unrealistic to assume that Palpatine’s poor quality plan would have had a success rate of 99,9998 percent given everything described above. In addition, Obi-Wan survived infamously for barely Hiding on the native planet of Darth Vader in the shadow of a user of the force that grows in power … as, if it is so easy for him to escape the anger of the empire, there is probably any amount of former Jedi wandering this Galaxy very, very far.
Obviously, there are many things that are worth complaining with the modern state of Star Wars, including the programs that continue to pass through the movements and a sequel trilogy that never completely left the ground. But the complaints about the Jedi number that survived order 66 are like the drunk’s local cantina at the end of Sabacc’s night: stupid and played. It is time to let all the cry die … or at least, fall into a large body of water, on which I will assume that it is suddenly dead and missing.
