![]() ![]() Order 66 was revealed to have been prematurely activated in The Clone Wars timeline due to a malfunctioning chip in the clone trooper “Tup” who then killed Jedi Master Tiplar. The first Order 66 scene appears in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of The Sith, though substantial context and background are offered in the TV series The Clone Wars.

However, Palpatine was able to frame the Jedi for treason in the eyes of the public once several Jedi Masters (at the behest of Mace Windu) intended to arrest him after learning of his status as a Sith Lord. The Kaminoans believed that this was only a failsafe to be used in case of emergency against rogue Jedi. To concoct Order 66, Dooku had the cloners on Kamino implant all of the clones with a behavioral modification biochip that could activate what they knew as “Clone Protocol 66” via voice command. It was the beginning of the “Great Jedi Purge” intended to wipe out the Jedi Order and institute the reign of the Sith. Order 66 was a complete secret, the true intent of which was known only to Chancellor Sheev Palpatine (working in secret as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious) and his co-conspirator Count Dooku. In the universe of Star Wars, Order 66 was the order given to all the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, which called for executing all Jedi for being traitors to the Galactic Republic. ![]()
