Star Wars: 10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About The Jedi

4. More Jedi Survived Order 66 Than You Think

While it may have felt as though the only real Jedi to make it out of Order 66 alive were the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda for an age, the years since the Original and Prequel Trilogies' debut have brought with them far more survivors than many may have realised was possible.

Though not technically sitting under the Jedi tree at the point of the Great Jedi Purge's beginnings, Ahsoka Tano managed to make it through the fateful command relatively unscathed.

Elsewhere Rebels' Kanan Jarrus (f.k.a. Caleb Dune) managed to survive the Clone hunt thanks to his master's sacrifice. A number of younglings and other fallen Jedi were also recruited to the Inquisitorius programme post-Order 66. Jedi: Fallen Order's Cere Junda and Cal Kestis both managed to stay alive with the odds stacked against them. And the Darth Vader comics even revealed that Jedi Temple Archives librarian Jocasta Nu lived long enough to go toe-to-toe with the titular big bad himself.

Those are just a few of the names to have staved off death for various amounts of time in the wake of this tragic taking down of the Order, proving that there is always more hope out there than you perhaps initially thought.
