Order 66 - Fall of the Republic - Jedi Purge

Palpatine: Execute order 66 Clone: *shoots Anakin* Palpatine: ...

"I like you,don't come to the jedi temple tomorrow" -Anakin

The dichotomy between Cody’s respectful “I think you’ll be needing this” and robotic “blast him” really drives home the severity of the betrayal

What makes this scene even more heartbreaking is the realization that so many of the Jedi killed trusted their Clones with their lives. Trusted them as much as they trusted their Jedi brothers. To most of them, the Clones were more than just disposable troops, they were brothers in arms. Honestly...the look on Ki-Adi-Mundi's face when he turns around says it all.

Whoever thouhght that two clones are enough for killing Yoda deserves an Order 66.

When Plo Koon was shot down, it really killed me because he was told by a clone that the clones were just expendable. He said “Not to me.”

2:10 Ki Adi's confusion as he turns and see's the clones aim at him is truly heartbreaking.

3:03 "Execute—" "I can't see! Get out off the way!"

The real lesson here is that Wookies are real allies.

Clones when order 66 is issued: Rex: resist Cody: "Blast him"

From the 501st journal: "When the 501st was finally rotated off of Felucia,Aalya Secura made it a point to see us off personally, calling us the bravest soldiers she'd ever met, it's a good thing we were wearing helmets because none of us could bear to look her in the eye, when her death came, I hoped it was quick,she earned that much."

Always broke my heart as a kid. Not because of the Jedi, but because the clones did it, and the series made me love them.

This attack killed about 98% of the Jedi. Leaving only about 200. Most of them however, were hunted down by Vader and his inquisitors.

Palpatine: “Execute Order 66” Clones who had to execute Yoda: “Sh/t! Why this one on my watch?”

Ki-Adi-Mundi actually held up real damn well given that he wasn't prepared for that betrayal

I think the novelization describes Cody's attempt to kill Obi-Wan better. In the novel, Cody coordinated the heavy-weapons operators spread over an arc of three different levels of the sinkhole-city. He'd served Obi-Wan in more than a dozen operations and had a very clear estimate of just how hard to kill Obi-Wan was. He didn't take any chances. Obi-Wan never saw it coming, and he only survived because Boga(the dragonmount) somehow knew what was about to happen and managed to shield him with her body. Obi-Wan even spent a moment to grieve for Boga before letting her flow out of his life, because even grief is an attachment.

2:19 If you look closely, right after the first clone is hit, the third one manages to dodge the blaster shot reflected by the lightsaber. It's probably the first and only time this happens in the saga.

What's really sad is that even though Anakin never reached the rank of master, the younglings referred to him as "Master Skywalker" as if they looked up to him 😔

Fun fact about Mundi’s assassination. It didn’t take place for a whole day after receiving the command to kill him. The clones were extremely scared of him, with reason. They only had 1 shot and devised a plan into letting him lead the charge “the final charge to victory.” The question is, how did a Master Jedi in the Council not feel the heavy loss of his brethren. It gives you an insight as to how powerful Darth Sidius was in cloaking and blinding the Jedi

Ki Adi Mundi's shocked expression, when he realizes the betrayal by the men he lead into battle and Master Yoda's pain and struggle caused by the disturbance of the force get me every time.
