Anakin was an exception to order 66 by design. This is shown when Tups chip was malfunctioning. As tup was looking around after being detained he saw both anakin and tiplee. He saw anakin and didn't seem to do anything. But when he saw tiplee he said "kill the jedi." And attacked.
👏🏽
Good point I never thought about that
yeah he says this in the vid
That came more from a lack of focus. Tup wasn't exactly right in the head.
Hey a fellow destiny 2 player
I really like the idea of Palpatine being able to choose who the clones should kill and not kill
he’s the man with a thousand plans.
I always assume that was part of the order he gave.
Honestly, I don't; unless it was some sort of "Commander Appo, Execute Order 66... But not Skywalker, he's cool." addendum message.
Just explaining every plot hole as "Palpatine's SO AWESOME to plan for everything" feels like a cop-out.
@@zenkairanger Then Raise of Skywalker Came Along and Turn that to Mush, Makes You Wonder if Darth Plagueis wasn't the True Brains.
@@TwiceStruck Clearly you mean the True Mastermind, Darth Jar-Jar
Makes sense Palpatine would omit his prized pupil from order 66 early on in the clones conception
with the chips it makes sense that a simple signal could change the list easily
Thanks for the comment I didn't have to watch any of the video now 🤣
@@Joe-zg6us lol
You my friend just saved me 8 minutes
It's crazy how Palpatine literally planned for everything. It makes sense he have a way to keep the clones from killing those who proved useful.
I have what might seem like a dumb question; if Order 66 was "programmed" into the Clones, and even required inhibitor chips; if they weren't just specially trained to lie, deceive, and then kill the Jedi, what about after. Even this video describes it a "a few moments out of their control", and luckily it often only took a little time to kill the unsuspecting Jedi, but why didn't the Clones loose it after? At least most didn't snap back to their senses, "what have I done!?," and killed themselves, or rebelled against the system they now knew controlled them. The Emperor still had plenty of Clones to do what was needed, until he could phase them out for Stormtroopers who WERE just taught to be cruel, lying, monsters, even though they weren't trained from birth. Even years later, some still served, remembered what they did, and didn't bat an eye. If the system wad temporary, and not just taught, or long-term control, how did they not have swathes of confused, rebelling, or mortified troops? It was one hell of a smear campaign against the Jedi, but these were the warriors right there with them, with first-hand knowledge, and a certain loyalty up till then, that apparently was real enough inhibitor chips were necessary.
This is a good question and I think its most easily answered by how we've seen all the Clones' reactions collectively in Legends and Canon. In canon we know now that the chips not only "inhibited" free will but also made the Clones revert to their lowest level of training. Bad Batch is a good example (SPOILERS), Wrecker, who is arguably dumber, does have remorse after the fact but more importantly his memory of everything is rather cloudy. Comparatively Crosshairs chip barely affects him because his personality was already compliant with Order 66.
I think the biggest reason most Clones didn't spiral into remorseful PTSD is because the majority of the Clones were "Good Soldiers" who followed orders for the Republic. In SWBF2 501st Diaries this is reinforced; when Ayla Secura was executed the Clones said they were sad that they had to kill her so they wanted to end her quickly, which is why she was shot so many times.
It's also probably arguable that many Clones would have executed Order 66 without the Chips, Jedi generals like Prong Krell weren't unique in their disregard of Clone lives. It's important to note that Dogma executed him without the assistance of his chip simply because he was a traitor to the Republic. If anything the Chips were probably just insurance for Clones like Rex who had a deep emotional connection to their Jedi.
Maybe in Legends most clones would carry out Order 66 with no hesitation, but I find it doubtful that clones like Rex and the Bad Batch are the exception. They are certainly clone troopers that stand out, that’s true. However I feel the clone army by the point of Order 66 could be more so divided into three categories. The extreme loyal troopers, the guys in the middle, and the unique ones who disobey orders. At the start of the war, all clones would be in the first category thanks to how they were raised specifically by the Kaminoans and bounty hunters without any Jedi supervision. That changes when the Jedi get involved. Sure, Pong Krell may not be the only Jedi to either betray the Republic, treat his clone troopers badly, or do both. However Krell seems more of an extreme case. Plenty of Jedi who could be called “bad” by clone troopers probably would be the Jedi who stuck to their philosophy so much they never made any bonds. They wouldn’t disrespect clone troopers, but they would also not forge any bonds and wouldn’t go through the effort of inspiring clones to be individuals. While bad, that would be nowhere close to non-clone officers who later in the Empire treated stormtroopers as expendable. Now thanks to Jedi influence and seeing hundreds of other cultures, the clones become more independent thinking as a whole. However it is Jedi like Anakin and Ahsoka with their irregular Jedi nature that really push clones like Rex to think rebellious like. Now when Order 66 goes down, most clones are in the middle category. They’ve learned to be unique and different, but like regular people they don’t take it too far like Rex and the Bad Batch. Hence why they are so weak that they provide little resistance to the inhibitor chips and easily fall. By the time the chips deactivate, the clones would already have been Imperials for a few months to a year. Many would feel they already crossed the point of no return. To be fair to them, they would have spent the last few months or year spreading Imperial influence across the galaxy and the only people the clones really got close to were the Jedi who they wiped out. To them, there wouldn’t be any proper leaders to rise up and lead them. So what does a regular person do when they are faced with a hopeless situation? They just try to hunker down and go with the flow. Plenty of regular Imperials probably felt like this after atrocities such as Alderaan and Operation Cinder. Why fight when the odds are against you? Thus I argue that most clones were not extremely loyal to the Empire like Crosshair, who seems more of an extreme example. These clones like the rebellious clones such as Rex and Wolfe would feel horrified by their actions, but again would think that it is too late to do anything and that they may as well go with the flow. After all, it’s only when most clones are dead or very old that a galaxy-wide rebellion that can actually challenge the Empire is born. Would you say that every regular civilian in Star Wars that didn’t fight against the Empire before Yavin 4 and Endor were citizens who loved and cherished the Empire? Nope. They were just regular folks who didn’t see another option, who were not the type to take up arms and inspire others. They like most clones are the ones who need to be inspired to rise up and fight.
In legends Lucas made it so that the clone troopers were loyal and were good soldiers therefore they would follow any orders the theory was also based on why the Germans and Japanese soldiers did extreme things knowing full well it was immoral and against humanity in ww2 but they did it anyways and if you don't think the United States military would turn on its own citizens you are dangerously seriously wrong this is the one thing that Lucas actually hinted when he made the Order 66 moment is Starwars That in the end it doesn't matter what A good soldier follows orders.
@@shadowtrooper1052 Yeah, but the circumstances, in this case, are quite different. Usually, soldiers perform atrocities on people who they don't even know. This would be random civilians or enemy prisoners of war. In this case, this was an atrocity committed on a mass level towards members of the leadership that personally led the clones in the field of battle, not sitting back at headquarters. Not to mention that most clone troopers only really got to know their Jedi leaders with most other people in the galaxy avoiding them or having little contact and understanding. Order 66 isn't really a regular war crime. If anything, Operation Cinder is far more normal of a war crime than Order 66. Honestly, when you look at the clone troopers, nothing about them could be considered normal compared to regular soldiers and regular people.
@@tristankawatsuma8962 they may look like adults but these are child soldiers. 10-13. they have no experience. this is a commentary on the horrors of war and why child soldiers are used instead of adult soldiers. their minds are more plastic and they are vulnerable to programming. it's why the army recruits teenagers, even beginning their training with JROTC and even "call of duty".
Before the inhibitor chip lore that was added...it always seemed to me the clones when executing Order 66 or any order were like Roman Soldiers were always portrayed in movies and history..as soon as they were given an order they just executed it...with no emotion...it didn't matter if they served with someone 5 minutes before..if they were suddenly ordered to kill that person they just did it. Like in Gladiator when Maximus had been a beloved general and led Rome to their greatest victories..when Commodus became emperor he ordered for Maximus's death...and the soldiers leading him out to be executed did it without question despite everything Maximus had done..and this was soon after the last battle of the war.
I know this isn’t your usual type of video, but I’d be super interested in how you think events could’ve played out differently if Ahsoka had joined Maul after all- or maybe what part Maul could’ve possibly played in episodes 4-6 if he’d let go of his quest for vengeance against Obi-Wan
IT'S UNFAIR
How can you be a jedi, but not being executed?
If so, its funny how it was never updated to include Vader- after all, both Fox's subordinates and the clones tracking Ferren Barr attacked Vader in two discrete incidents.
The clones with Anakin would have objected to attacking the Jedi in the temple without order 66 having been triggered in them.
Exactly!!!
Why? These were clones bred to be obedient, and General Skywalker is giving the orders.
I always assumed he sent out prerecorded messages to all clone commanders at once.
Perhaps personally delivering the message to Cody based on Anakin’s close relationship with Kenobi, just in case Anakin was with Kenobi or an alternative plan was in place.
However, unless the hundreds? of orders were issued simultaneously, the Jedi would have sensed what was happening and compromised the plan.
The order he sent to Rex seemed to be love, hence why he looked surprised when Rex called him Lord Sidious.
No he did not Sir, he was given The Moniker of Lord Vader!
Sw just ruined the suspense of Lord Vader lore...
Excellent breakdown, especially with all the comics and books, movies and series! You put it all in a chronological form from all sources available! Thx
Ahsoka was a former Padawan and Commander, not a Knight and General
They woukd off attacked Maul regardles of order 66 .They were already on a mission to take him obviously. Just because order 66 was directly Jedi it didnt mean they were gonna just stop trying to kill Maul surely??
Their mission is only to capture him so he can go to the Republic and stand trial for his crimes on Mandalore. They don't start trying to execute him until Order 66 gets announced
their mission was to bring him in for questioning. they were in the process of flying home with him when order 66 began, so why would they suddenly decide to kill him if it's not cos of order 66?
@@DS9TREK Well they were under the influence of the chip, at this point any order can be given without the clone questioning it since they are controlled by the chip. They were told to go kill Maul so they don't think about it they just do it. Good soldiers follow orders. But that's just my opinion about fictional characters 🤔
I didn't know that about the grand inquisitor turning before order 66. I wonder if he helped in attacking the Jedi temple. That would be pretty cool to see at some point.
It could be what you said about how Palpatine removed Anakin from the list or just that due to manipulation, it could be set to only attack light users of the force whereas that comic where Order 66 was flipped against the Inquisitors was a different case.
Anakin was already fully corrupted by the time Mace died as he played a part in it and when he became the full-on disciple of Palpatine/Sidious, he lost all of his light side aura and only left with the dark force thus the chip did not pick him up as a proper Jedi anymore. Instead, you could even see the 501st following Anakin to the Grand Temple in Corrousant and started the murder on all the Jedis in the temple in many different media sources about Order 66.
Also, like mentioned, why those Jedi younglings wern't totally targeted initially was because they're still weak in the usage of the force and thus they wern't even considered proper padawans yet which meant they're less likely to put up a fight against the Order or even the Clones and that's why most of these younglings became Inquisitors. For example, you could see Grogu watching the whole scene in horror but not targeted and probably being brought out of the hellhole by Jacosta Nu herself before she got slained too as these Clones don't see these younglings as proper Jedi yet as what the chip's emitting to them.
That's why Anakin isn't targeted by his own forces because he isn't a Jedi anymore and the chip just didn't pick it up. Whereas when the Inquisitors went after the Jedi who initiated Order 66 back to the Inquisitors, the chip reactivated and attacked the Inquisitors because he basically fried the chip by overloading it with his force skill and made it unreadable into proper sequences thus the chip bounces back the lines of "Force User = Exterminate" and as these Inquisitors were force-sensitive too, the Clones that were with them instantly flipped and went after them too.
I admit I'm no starwars loremaster but the name "order 66" seems to suggest to me that is was one order of many so he likely had multiply contingencies programed and pick the one best suited for the current situation. So, if say, he didn't manage to turn annikin maybe he would have enacted order 67 and the troopers would kill him.
And if he wanted explicit clone action he would have gone to order 69. I jest. Order 65 was to remove himself from power and we have 0 information on any orders beyond order 66.
@@cdwarrior6582 Nice! strange he had an order to remove himself from power, but it would suggest he planned for every possible outcome.
@@cdwarrior6582 😭😭😭
Finally a video that talks about Tup. I feel like no one really noticed that
NNNNNNOOOOOOO
Anakin was always a part of order 66
i’ve always wondered this.
What about in the Vader comic where a Jedi who was being hunted by Vader used clones to attack Vader. All he said was activate order 66 and they attacked Vader and the inquisitors??
My exact first thought, and that sh*t is canon right?
Yes sir!!
6:32 to 6:52 The Emperor was so smart. He had an amazing gift for strategy and was also obviously very powerful. He was certainly one of the top ten most powerful Sith Lords ever.
Um it’s called “Plot Armor” 😆👌
not, order 66 never targeted anakin
@the-question "Why didn't the Clone troopers target Anakin during Order 66?":
. It's extremely effing simple. Palpatine told the clones "he's not Anakin Skywalker anymore. He's Darth Vader. [He's not a Jedi[/He's not a Jedi anymore.] He's a Sith.]" to which the clones gave the standard response [we all know [and love]]: "yes my lord".
I literally asked this very question on Facebook on a Star Wars fan page. It’s a good explanation
Do we know anything about other orders? Could there have been different configurations of the order that precluded different individuals?
I had picked up on the alterations to Order 66 for Ahsoka and Darth Maul, but it didn’t occur to me about Anakin, great catch and great explanation.
Didn't the Jedi librarian in the comics try to use order 66 against Vader after she got caught breaking into the former Jedi temple?
I think she uses it against a former Jedi turned inquisitor if I recall.
@@rickzeroX No it was against vader she said " you take orders from a Jedi anakin skywalker" then vader kills everyone on the ship
the order 66 thing was on mon cala
I do completely agree, although I am surprised you didn’t mention operation Knightfall
Man EVEN IF PALPATINE/SIDIOUS AMENDED ANAKIN FROM ORDER 66 HE still had such STRONG TIES TO THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE that he probably just manipulated some Clones Commanders , my opinion
What If Qui-Gon Jinn Trained Anakin P3. Anyone else wondering when or if this is happening? its been two years and my heart breaks.
But they were killing Jedi at the Jedi temple?
The Jedi were some clowns… truly blind… The Grand Plan!!!
Everybody knows the only reason that Anakin was exempted from Order 66 was his plot armor.
I don't think it was possible that Anakin's batch of clones, the clones of the 501st weren't contacted to execute the order. They marched with him to the Jedi temple. They HAD TO BE under order 66 control, because we have seen many episodes about the 501st being very level headed and moral clones. They showed time and time again how they could feel they were doing wrong things, or how their opponent was being evil. There is no way they would have just marched into the temple to murder the Jedi, including the kids, without being under the order.
I think the far better conclusion is the following. Palpatine knew about Anakin and his power even as he was born, possibly even being the ones responsible for Anakin, with his own master. His plans included turning Anakin into an ultimate Sith who would form a perfect empire with him, and eventually replace him. So obviously when the Sith duo went to order the army with the secret protocols included, they surely had Anakin as a protected individual in the purge. And most likely one of the orders was to kill Anakin, just in case things went wrong.
Im not sure if it's still canon but Palpatine informed the 501st that Anakin will go by vader from now on and he will be their commander on the assault of the temple. This was in Battlefront 2 (2005).
What about when the 401st/shock troopers attacked Vader on coruscant because their inhibitor chips were activated? Unless that’s not canon.
I think it’s because they saw someone wielding a lightsaber and by that point he was no longer recognizable as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.
@@williamflowers9435 I agree with this. their programming was "don't kill Anakin Skywalker", and Vader always denied being Anakin so the troopers attacked
even though the inhibitor chip was forcing them to kill the jedi they didn't become completely mindless they could still takes orders and communicate so Palpatine would have just given them extra instructions as he gave the order to each commander
Interesting answers here. For Maul, well... He was a fugitive on the Venator and an ennemy of his former master Sidious, so I think it's as simple as that for his case.
My guess is there was a built in kill list meaning the clones had dossiers built into the inhibitor chip for each person to be targeted rather than just an order to kill all "Jedi". This explains why Ashoka was still targeted despite not being a Jedi anymore and why Maul was also on the list. As for the inquisitors, that makes it complicated. there may have been a bit of programming added to take prisoners should they give up or become otherwise incapacitated.
Battle front 2 the og will forever be OP for letting us play through the eyes as the 501st as kids
We know in attack of the clones that Palpatine had already been grooming Anakin, so it is likely that Anakin was explicitly excluded from order 66 from the beginning or possibly it was amended after the death of Count Dooku. It is also very likely that order 66 was issued in a sequential manner. In other words, Palpatine was fully aware of which Jedi were in command and on the battle field at any give time, and would have wanted to eliminate those would have posed the greatest threat to him first, namely the members of the Jedi council. I think that once they were target (and eliminated), orders were eventually issued to eliminate any other jedi wherever they were.
I think you're stretching hard and Star Wars has more plot holes than my spaghetti strainer at this point.
Not a bad theory. Pretty good.
But I wonder if Palpatine made more "Orders" besides only Order 66.
Like what if there was order 72? Or 65? And one of those other orders did include Anikin if he could not be turned to the dark side.
He does seem like the type of person to have multiple back up plans.
Palpatine did orchestrate a galaxy wide war, where he actually had a lot of control of both sides so that no matter who won he would still be able to work with the winning side.
in legends order 65 made the clones kill Palpatine for treason, and the Jedi knew about order 66. They just trusted Palpatine not to misuse it. But none of that is canon any more.
@@DS9TREK why didn't they Jedi not allow order 66 to be an order.
surely maul was just targeted due to being a known sith lord and threat throughout the war, not because he was enlisted as a target.
More important question is why wasn’t the grand inquisitor gunned down he was at the temple right ?
I think it has to be something more subtle than this. for a few reasons, foremost targettingAnakins apprentice so soon after his fall would only risk Vader turning on Palpatine or reverting back to the light completely. We know from the Bad Batch that some clone Commanders were more resistant to order 66 than others it's likely the clone commander vharged with operation nightfall was simply resistant to order 66.
order 66 I dont think included maul, commander rex specifically tacked onto the end of his orders to the venator clones by speaking to the coruscant guard clones on board and telling them to execute maul(It would be their domain as they were in posession of him)
Rex was just ordered to kill jedi, sure, yes, and the clones didnt see commander tano as any less than before. So naturally shes lumped in.
The clones were under orders by commander rex to execute maul, i think he did it on his own because 1) this would be wise especially since ahsoka is not accounted for
2) He has a LOT of capacity to hurt them period,
3) he was only taken prisoner because it worked, they would presumably have killed him on mandalore if he wasnt floating where they could hit him with stun
I agree except one thing I think he left Obi-Wan Kenobi out to because he knew he needed and again to feel that pain in constant pain of putting down Obi-Wan Kenobi natural field is fire
Actually, the Maul thing has some logic to it that isn't an addendum to Order 66.
Maul was a highly dangerous opponent and had just recently been captured. In fact, most lore implies that he was only targeted because of him being considered a threat. (it should also be noted that in the original concept for the Siege of Mandalore, Order 66 is issued just as Maul is intercepted and he escapes in the ensuing chaos.)
I do agree that Palpatine could theoretically change the perimeters of the order, however, in a comic book, a group of clone shock troopers fire upon Vader and the Grand Inquisitor during the hunt for the Jedi librarian under the impression they were Jedi because Fox failed to inform them that the Sith were on their side, implying that Clone Commanders had to relay information to their troops to make exceptions.
In Ahsoka’s case is as easy as saying that the order had not been updated to remove her name. In Aniken case, I agree he was never a target as it was planned to have him join the dark side. Darte Mall is the really difficult case to explain. Maybe just because it seem he was helping Ahsoka
In fact, Ahsoka helped Maul from being executed. Darth Maul was targeted because he was villains like Count Dooku, Ventress. He was already on the target list since Ahsoka requested a 501stbattalion to fight against him on Mandalore.
I think anakin wasn't targeted because palpatine's intenton was to recruit anakin from day 1. And since Palpatine created the code he was able to keep certain people off the list.
Simplest answer is usually the correct one. Palpatine probably just called Annakin's 501st troops and told them to disregard him from Order 66.
As for Maul and Ashoka in Clone Wars, that just the clones being rational.
It's clear that Maul isn't part of the order because the clones have to debate on what to do with him, and the choice to execute him is totally valid since he's an enemy of the republic that they were specifically sent to Mandalore to kill/capture, and because he's a literal devil monster force user and they don't have a jedi with them anymore.
As for Ashoka, she's also clearly not singled out as a non-jedi to be executed because if she was, then Rex would know his BS speil to Jesse about her not trchnically being a jedi wouldn't work since at that point it wouldn't matter.
Did you not read the Darth Vader comic? A runaway Jedi was able to activate order 66 to get away from the inquisitors using a trick...... 4:25
I seen a explanation but I don't know if it was true. Order 66 was if Anakin switched to the Darkside and 68 was a different senerio and 69 was kill everyone, in the case Anakin doesn't switch to the Darkside and it's a danger that Sidious is kicked out of power. I thought it was funny that 69 was the number for the worst situation. It's probably not totally true but I remember it from when the movie 1st came to theaters.
It's because they were tight like that.
Operation Knightfall was a total success due to the Jedi’s complacency , arrogance & lack of being prepared🔥.
Anakin was never a “Jedi” to begin with because he never truly fit in with the order under Yoda’s leadership as a whole.
Palpatine knew this & played it to his advantage as any good mastermind should 👏🏾.
This could have all been avoided but hey the jedi failed as an organisation so it’s their own downfall.
I don’t think the chip/orders were particular to members of the Jedi council or Jedi active during the war effort I feel like it targeted anyone who is force sensitive unless it was palpating or Anikan. Cause I’m Star Wars the clone wars they did attack Asoka who was rogue and not attached to the Republic or the Jedi. Basically if you had a lightsaber and could use the force you’re probably getting shot
Yeah the first theory would make more sense if it wasn't for that Order 66 scene in the Disney+ Obi Wan Kenobi show. There we see the 501st attacking the temple and Palpatine from the speakers saying "execute order 66". So Vader's portion of the 501st did get the order while he was in the temple with them.
Fives looked right at Anakin and didn't react when he glitched.
Because Palps already knew Anakin would be his apprentice by the time he executed order 66. The clones were preprogrammed with this knowledge and henceforth partnered with instead of attacking Vader. Palps even told Grievous that soon he would have a new apprentice. One far younger and more powerful. Palps is the puppet master.
🤔 . . . Personally, I believe that those chips are pseudo-force sensitive, likely used to detect certain individuals based on wether or not they’re dark siders or not OR to detect how strong the individuals are with the force (basically the ability to mask their presence & such, primarily through the dark side). Because Maul, much like Rimuru Tempest from _That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime_ where he didn’t know how much raw power he was exuding, ‘had his fly down’, the clones proceeded in eliminating the force sensitive target. The only Jedi that were spared were #1: still alive after the initial onslaught because they tapped into the dark side & #2: hid themselves well, especially since the clones couldn’t detect the more subtle life signs & such…
when I started Clone Wars season 7 I genuinely thought Ahsoka is going to get off on the technicality that she is no longer in the order
I’ve always thought that hate or anger saved Anikan or now Reba
It took a lot to keep Anakin alive. His anger,, hatred, along with Palpatine using Padme's life force to save Anakin. He sucked the life out of her in order to keephim alive. That's why the droids delivering the children didn't know why she was dying.
Wasnt the 501st created specifically for Anakin? Like that legion didnt exist in the early years of The Clone Wars but later on Palpatine made them? Or at least not early years but definitely didnt exist right away like some legions. Which was why his legion wouldnt target him during order 66
Anikan was the only 1 cuz it was programed that way from the beginning. also sidious wanted to wipe out his other apprentices so they didn't take his place. nothing was added or changed. that was the plan.
So the clones always knew Anakin Skywalker was the Chancellor’s boy. That makes Rex a huge suck up.
Sidious most likely has an override code to make it how he wants
What about the comic where Jocasta Nu reveals Vader as Anakin and then they turn on him so Vader is forced to kill them? Doesn't that disprove the theory? Maybe he was just no longer considered Anakin by the clones at that point?
Tbh I think Maul was targeted simply because he was, idk, actively murdering Clones by the dozens.
Like, you don't need programming to pin Maul as a threat, he was a known threat to the Clones for a long while and was a personal prisoner on board the ship.
You don't need Order 66 to try and shoot the Sith Lord trying to kill everyone on the ship. Besides, their last orders were to execute Maul; only Ashoka saved him.
Ah I mean the Answer is simple, originally the Clones had no chip, and fully understood from birth what their purpose was, who Palpatine was truly, and that the Jedi would die by their hand. They knew who they served and why, and with no stupid chip, Palpatine could have just told the 501st that Darth Vader is to still command them.
I was thinking that maybe they were told not to shoot him?
Darth king lord plagues lives too he clone himself over over over helllooo
If Palpatine, master manipulator, had to call every commander to issue order 66 why not calling Yoda's first mitigating the risk of him beeing on guard?
I think he sent some personal messages to commanders he was worried about, like Cody and Rex.
That’s actually a very interesting question it seem obvious why but it’s interesting still
It’s also possible that the clones can sense certain parts of the Force, but not use it. So, after his formal turning, Anakin is a Sith, not a Jedi, and therefore is automatically excluded in Order 66.
Bruh I didn’t watch much of the Kenobi show but planned to, ONE OF THE CLIPS YOU PLAYED WAS A MAJOR SPOILER
Who is Ahsoka ? I never saw her in the Clone Wars(2003) cartoon. I only recognize the Real EU .
And what's all this chip thing about? Clones were obviously indoctinated soldiers, which would carry out every single one of the preprepared orders including 66 - no matter what. Palpatine was a pure genius for hiding his plan in front of everyone. Palps just told the important soldiers about Anakin being an ally.
It's weird how Filoni just tried to complicate everything...
The Clone Wars was still something Lucas was very much involved in and only enhanced the story imo. As someone who grew up on the OT (born 1979) I really enjoyed the entire series… damn shame Disney cancelled it and we never got to see many story arcs completed. Ahsoka has become one of my all time favorite characters in Star Wars… I hope Disney doesn’t ruin her
@@williamflowers9435 I'm personally not A fan of Ahsoka or Disney star wars.
🙄
@william flowers I can see why you love that character. But, in my opinion she started off as not fitting into the story (why would the jedi strenghten both of their unwanted personality traits, by bringing them together?; Lucas responsibility), then becoming quite good (development, being a part in Anakins fall), for then getting destroyed by the last (disneys..) season and never learning the lesson about the jedis failures. Luke did in EU, but in TBOBF/Mandalorian she is influencing him to repeat them, leading to the shitty sequels.
Wow that’s A LOT of foresight on Paplatine part if this is true for naming specific exceptions/ inclusions. He was probably better off ruling the galaxy by going to every casino with that foresight and getting rich and buying everything out ruling that way than ruling the way he did in the movies lmao.
If the clones can be reprogramed then after their usefulness they have to be eliminated thus the conscription! Otherwise, they become a threat to the Emperor
Are there any Jedi that served in the Empire not as inquisitors or assassins? Like they agree with the Empire, but don't like the dark side so they work lesser positions or similar peace keeping roles. Whether it was a secret or not.
It not Darth maul he not a Sith Lord or a Darth he an assassin of Sith
It makes sense that this is the reason why the empire transferred and phased out from clone troopers to Stormtroopers clone troopers were killing too many of his inquisitors because they saw him as Force users and being house order 66 was still in effect they couldn't help it
What if order 66 wasn’t specifically designed to kill Jedis but Force sensitives in general, hence Maul and Ashoka was targeted, too.
As for Anakin, Palpatine gave the order in front of Anakin after the defeat of Windu, and Palpatine sends him off to the Jedi temple. If I’m not mistaken, clones obey orders and the person who giving them, so Anakin could easily ordered the 501st to execute Order 66, and as he gave the order himself, he wasn’t targeted.
Then, the time other clones met Anakin he was either in his iconic suit, or the order already wear off.
This just my theory tho
I just picture "execute.. order.. sixty.. six,..... Oh and Anakin"
What if tups chip malfunctioned as a result of sidious actually changing the coding to take anakin out of the order. I know its far fetched but what if he just got unlucky and his chip for some reason decided to malfunction.
It was all about bag daddy Palpatine’s grand plan ever since he met ani as a youngling he foresaw it like bro says possibly even before the jedi showed interest into him in TPM
if Anakin hadn't turned, it would have been some other Order number
He working for Sith as an assassin he not a Darth or a Sith Lord
The altering in the programing only makes sense as clones not being under the influence of the chip could've had some second thoughts about murdering younglings on Anakin's order.
Maybe off camera he said “yo don’t shoot him”
what would order 66 look like if it had occured during the old republic?
W/ Not having watch this yet pretty sure Palp told them off screen vader is wl em,ur led to kinda assume the obvi
The comic book Darth Vader explains this already and damn so the 501rst willing killed those Jedi…damn
Me personally i think that sheev never put anakins name on the list or at least he took his name off when he was told anakin would be trained as a jedi.
I think that sheev had planned from the moment he knew about anakin that he would want him as his aprentice
So he would be inclined to not put his name on the list of the jedi to be killed
Hi, can you explain why Darth Vader didn't know that his master was gaslighting him and using him, making a fool of him?
Because Anakin trusted Palpatine completely, and didn't trust the people who could have pointed out that he was being manipulated. By the time the manipulation became blatant Anakin had turned against his best friend and Master, and his wife - the two people who could have saved him.
During the Clone Wars, the Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters were generals and their padawans were commanders. Therefore, Ahsoka Tano was a commander while Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi became generals.
Anakin wasn't a Jedi anymore....he was a Sith Lord
