The Shocking Revelation About Order 66: Prepare to Have Your Mind Blown!

The upcoming Star Wars show will further amplify the criticisms surrounding Order 66 survivors in online discussions. Since Disney acquired Lucasfilm from George Lucas himself, the number of individuals surviving Order 66 has significantly increased. Characters such as Kanan Jarrus, Ahsoka Tano, Cal Kestis, Grogu, and others have been unveiled as survivors, prompting criticism from certain segments of the Star Wars fanbase. These critics argue that the more survivors there are, the less impactful the tragedy of Order 66 becomes.

Critiques of Order 66 survivors have notably surged in Disney+'s Star Wars shows, whether it's due to Grogu's journey or the upcoming 2023 TV series, Ahsoka, which will introduce another survivor named Baylan Skoll. Despite the criticism being unjustified for various reasons, it is unlikely to diminish anytime soon. In fact, an upcoming Star Wars show slated for release in the latter half of 2023 will only fuel more criticisms as Lucasfilm continues to unveil survivors from the Jedi Purge depicted in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.

Jude Law’s Character In Skeleton Crew Will Be An Order 66 Survivor

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the show in question, will star Jude Law as one of its central characters. During the Star Wars Celebration 2023 footage, it was confirmed that Law's character would be a Jedi, strongly suggesting that he is a survivor of Order 66. Given Law's age of 50, it is reasonable to assume that his Jedi character would have been around 20 years old during the Clone Wars. This implies that Law's character likely received training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Consequently, it is probable that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will showcase flashbacks detailing how his character managed to survive Order 66. Like many stories in the Disney-era Star Wars, this revelation may face criticism for introducing yet another survivor of Order 66 after the events of Revenge of the Sith.

Why Star Wars Keeps Introducing Order 66 Survivors

Despite the criticisms, Star Wars continues to introduce more survivors of Order 66 for several reasons. Firstly, it is logical that a significant number of Jedi would have managed to survive. With around 10,000 active Jedi during the Clone Wars, even if the Empire killed 99% of them, there would still be 100 Jedi left. Secondly, the Jedi were highly skilled in combat and experienced war veterans by the end of the Clone Wars, making it possible for many to escape or defeat their attackers.

However, the primary reason for revealing more Order 66 survivors is to serve compelling storytelling. Each Jedi survivor offers a unique perspective on how they survived the order. Additionally, Order 66 provides a way to create sympathetic Jedi characters and allows for intriguing developments, as seen with characters like Bode Akuna from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Baylan Skoll from Ahsoka. Considering these benefits, it is no surprise that Star Wars continues to unveil more Jedi survivors after the event, as demonstrated by Jude Law's character in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.
