The Great Jedi Purge, or Order 66 or Operation: Knightfall, is a major event in the Star Wars storyline. It is officially documented as a plot element in the 2005 film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and is further referenced in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. In the film, the Jedi are nearly exterminated by order of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious to the Clone Army, with only Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda survived. The first person to be issued this order was Clone Commander Cody (who until then was under the command of Jedi General Kenobi).
Famous quotes containing the word order:
“Woman ... cannot be content with health and agility: she must make exorbitant efforts to appear something that never could exist without a diligent perversion of nature. Is it too much to ask that women be spared the daily struggle for superhuman beauty in order to offer it to the caresses of a subhumanly ugly mate?”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
