Talk:Order 66/Legends

Should we add, either here or on the Great Jedi Purge page, a list of where/how certain Jedi die? --Fade 12:12, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The Jedi that we're shown pale in comparison to the number that were actually killed in the order. Perhaps a categorization on the pages of Jedi that died that way would be easier. --SparqMan 13:11, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, yea, I know we only see a tiny amount, but we just include a sample using references from film or EU material (my brother has a comic of the film that shows Vos dying, for example) --Fade 14:44, 27 May 2005 (UTC)


 * How many, who, and how do all the jedi die in the temple?

Origin
If it was indeed Sifo-Dyas, not Dooku or Palpatine posing as him, who ordered the clone army, who was behind the implementation of Order 66? - Sikon [ Talk ] 06:36, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Sifo-Dyas ordered it, but he was murdered and impersonated by Dooku, who instructed Jango Fett to train the troopers for an eventual Order 66. QuentinGeorge 06:42, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)

66 or Purge?
Should Jedi killed by Vader really be listed as Order 66 Victims? Order 66 is carried out by the clone troopers, wheras Vader's victims should be listed as Purge deaths. Jocasta Nu, Cin Drallig, Bene, Whie and Serra Kato were all killed by Vader - Kwenn
 * Well, for some of these Jedi, we don't know if they were killed by clones or Vader, minus Nu, Drallig, and Kato, at least as far as I know. So, if we know that Vader killed them, then we should remove their names. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 21:04, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, Vader was leading a detachment tasked with carrying out Order 66. Just because he wasn't a trooper doesn't mean he wasn't carrying out the order as well.  jSarek 22:27, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * That's true. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 22:58, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Pre-programmed?
Are we sure the order itself was programmed into them? From what I've read (SW Insider) they had prior knowledge of the order's existance, but it wasn't ingraned into them. Shadowtrooper talk 01:18, 14 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * It wasn't pre-programmed. It's been confirmed by many (include Karen Traviss) to be just an ordinary "last-resort" order. The clones were conditioned to follow any orders, not just this specific one. If the article makes any suggestion that Order66 was "pre-programmed", it should be revised. QuentinGeorge 05:02, 14 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes. I believe that I read somewhere that there were many other "last resort" orders that they knew of but did not use unless they were issued. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 20:45, 14 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Battlefront II's narration seems to suggest that the clones of the 501st Legion (and possibly other legions) were well aware of what Order 66 entails, and know that it is a betrayal of the Jedi. They feel sympathy for Aayla Secura, whom they respect, and knowingly keep their intentions from Ki-Adi-Mundi - Kwenn
 * Battlefront isn't exactly great as a canon reference...anyway, the novelisation simply states that Cody responded as he'd been taught before he'd been born; "It will be done, my lord" and says he was a clone and would thus follow the order without "hesitation or regret". --Fade 18:50, 15 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, the clones definitely knew about Order 66, but it wasn't pre-programmed into them. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 21:46, 15 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * If Order 66 wasn't pre-programed, why did the clone commanders all address Palpatine as My Lord? -- SFH 22:48, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Because he's the Supreme Chancellor? I don't see how "My Lord" automatically means they are pre-programmed. QuentinGeorge 23:51, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * True, but the Supreme Chancellor was described as "Excellency". If they thought they were addressing a Sith, however, they may have been pre-programmed to respond to Palpatine in a manner that he thought was flattering. -- SFH 23:58, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Or, since they knew about the order, that could have been taught to them as their response to Palpatine. Of course, we only hear Cody (and Jag, I believe) say it. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 01:07, 19 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * And Gree also said it. -- SFH 01:24, 19 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * But, back to the matter of being pre-programmed, I say again, they knew about it, they were fully aware of it, but they didn't execute Order 66, which was like a last-case scenerio, under the Commander-in-Chief told them to execute it. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 12:38, 19 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Origin of the name
Has anyone considered that the name "Order 66" may have come from the executive order issued by President Roosevelt that directed the interinment of Japanese Americans during World War II? The executive order was numbered 9066. This seems an even more likely theory of the symbolism behind the name then the more obvious theory that it comes from the Mark of the Best (though the two theories are not mutually exclusive). GL likes historic trivia, and seems to keep an eye to this, particularly with naming things. Since Executive Order 9066 was a directive to act against a group that was perceived erroneously to be enemies of the state, the parallel between it and Order 66 are non-trivial. --Jad Jermain
 * We should al least include it in the Behind the scenes section. -- SFH 20:01, 20 Dec 2005 (UTC)
