"Order 66 Destroy All Jedi" by Daniel Wallace (SWI #87)

Daniel Wallace explores the Emperor's dossiers of the lost Jedi who became the tragic casualties of Order 66, which includes an intriguing twist of offering up the official Imperial spin as to what happened to these "traitors of the Empire."

This'll be AWESOME!

Oh yes!

Wonder who the artist is, and if it will be a recurring series, like HNN.

 

Cool! It looks like Holonet some what returned.

 

Saw this late last night, but didn't catch whom the author was. I'll sacrifice as many firstborn as need be to get something like this on a regular, bimonthly basis, although a HoloNet News-style format may prove untenable.

Corroney's name-dropped in issue preview, albeit not for this specific article. Though who knows.

 

Looking forward to the story. Great cover.

That cover looks like it was inspired by the cover of the famous X-Men comic Days of the Future Past.

 

I don't suppose we know yet whether this article just lists the movie Order 66 victims, the Jedi Council. or what...?

There's a Nikto in the art here, and we didn't see one killed in ROTS that I can remember unless it was in the temple, which we couldn't really tell.

Just got this today!

Spoilers to come...

EDIT:

It mainly features the movie jedi, but it also includes some others, including Traavis (Clone Wars Adventures 4, I believe) and and Roan Shryne---who now have actors, apparently.

 

Damn, that was early, spoilers NOW!

 

Traavis and Roan Shryne were in ROTS?

Does it say if Shaak Ti was killed or not?

Even Piell?

 

Ok, ok...

*Spoilers, if you hadn't guessed already.*


As implied by the preview, this takes the form of an in-universe report to the Emperor about the highlights of Order 66, compiled by Sate Pestage (I think). Supposedly fewer then 100 Jedi survived (approximately 1% of the Jedi Order.)

The list has entries for:

Plo Koon
Aalya Secura
Ki-Adi-Mundi
Stass Allie
Luminara Unduli
Barriss Offee
Traavis
Jocasta Nu
Cin Drallig
Whie Malreaux
Zett Jukassa
Tsui Choi
Bultar Swan
Koffi Arana
Roan Shryne

Each entry contains the name,species, homeworld, planet of termination, report filer, a profile/biography, and a record of termination. Also, there seems to be a note at the bottom of each entry explaining the reason for termination (trumped up charges, as expected; for example, Tsui Choi's was "Executed for spice trafficking." )

Not exactly much new information, though it references Purge, and mentions Jerec ("see report 01377B, ACQUISITIONS" ) Plus, we get a number of new clone trooper designations.

>>>Traavis and Roan Shryne were in ROTS? <<<

Not that I know of. IIRC, Traavis was only in Clone Wars Adventures 4, and Shryne was only in Dark Lord. Of course, their images could be of RotS Jedi Temple extras...

>>>Does it say if Shaak Ti was killed or not?<<<

No Shaak Ti entry, oddly enough.

>>>Even Piell? <<<

Nope. No news is good news, I guess.

EDIT:

A funny real-world nod: it says that Tsui Choi was on a list for promotion to the Jedi Council, but the "opportunity did not materialize." This is a reference to the possibility that Tsui could have been in a Jedi Council seat in RotS.

 

Cool, thanks!

Who does the art?

 

No art, its all photos. (Well, unless you count Palpatine's nasty hand holding a datapad on the first page. )

 

Who did the cover?

 

Oh yeah. Its by Roberto Campos.

 

But Roan Shyrne was on the world of Murkhana and not on Coruscant when Order 66 was initiated.

 

Yeah he actually survived Order 66.

 

...You bastard. Mine hasn't even shown up yet.

I second that "Even Piell" notion...there'd damn well better be some answers at coming on this one.

Hmmm...I've got on my list around close to 40 or so "confirmed alive" Jedi, not counting major question-marks like Depa and K'caj. Which gives us at least 50-60 more to be concocted over the years.

What's the New Order-dating for this article, by the way? That would winnow down the timeframe to when specific Jedi are about to get zotzed, up to about slightly over one year post-RotS. Roan Shryne being on that list refines it somewhat, being several months after the film, but still.

Koffi Arana's on that list, yet no mention by Dan of Our Favorite All-Time #1, Sia-Lan Wezz? That wounds me to my heart.

Any info given on specifically where Jerec was, out in the UR?

Unless this article is a broader listing of Jedi victims in general. In which case, he'd certainly qualify.

Dan, you chicken.

 

Technically, I guess Order 66 would be in effect for as long as a single Jedi lives. But yes, Roan survived the initial clone betrayal.

On the date:

Your Majesty: I have taken the liberty of appending the circumstances of death as they will appear in the official record. Please approve by 16:9:28 in time for the next cycle of Imperial Holovision.

Sate Pestage

That puts it at about 4 months post RotS (16:5:23), assuming that the Imperial Holovision is coming out soon.

And is this just a throwaway reference, or is it a hint that we'll be getting an Imperial Holovision article...

>>>Any info given on specifically where Jerec was, out in the UR? <<<

Nah. That acquisitions quote was all it had.

EDIT: Almost forgot. The article is supposedly from Moff Marcellin Wessel, compiled at the request of Pestage.

 

No Shaak Ti? That is odd.

 

Hmmm... just noticed something rather odd. The image over at TOS shows a Nikto Jedi (possibly the one in Purge?) on a wanted poster. However, the actual cover is different: Ki-Adi-Mundi takes his place.

I wonder why the change.

 

Who are the new troopers?

 

I just the big stamp that says "KILLED" in Aurebesh across the faces of the ex-Jedi...

- The Imperial Ewok

 

Here's a list of all clones mentioned, by Jedi:

Plo Koon
Captain Jag, 127th Gunship wing (CT-55/11-9009)
CT-57-57/11-9048 (presumably another clone pilot with Jag, as he helped kill Koon, too)
CT-8770 through CT-8910 (killed when Plo Koon crashed into a clone staging area.)

Aayla Secura
Commander Bly, 327th Star Corps

Ki-Adi-Mundi
Commander Bacara, Galactic Marines

Stass Allie
Commander Neyo, 91st Reconnaisance Corps (CC-8826)
CT-3423 (another BARC Trooper with Neyo that helped kill Stass)

Luminara Unduli
Commander Faie, 41st Elite Legion

Barriss Offee
Lieutenant Galla, 327th Star Corps

Traavis
RC-1013, Aiwha Squad ("Sarge")

Jocasta Nu
Commander Appo, 501st Legion (Filed report, though Vader killed her to get to the Temple's emergency beacon.)

Cin Drallig
Commander Appo, 501st Legion (Again, killed by Vader, but Appo filed the paperwork.)

Whie Malreaux
Commander Appo, 501st Legion (Dangit! Do Dark Lords of the Sith ever fill out reports? )

Zett Jukassa
Commander Appo, 501st Legion (Wounded by the little runt, so at least he was part of the action this time.)
Sergeant Fox (Killed Zett.)

Tsui Choi
Commander Bow, 501st Legion

Bultar Swan
Commander Bow, 501st Legion

Koffi Arana
Commander Bow, 501st Legion

Roan Shryne
Commander Bow, 501st Legion
Commander Appo, 501st Legion (CC-1119, decapitated by Shryne. I guess that this implies that Purge happens after that part of Dark Lord, since it would appear that Bow takes over after Appo. )


Not sure if any of these minor clones are new, since I'm not good at recognizing clones by their CT-designators. I think Commander Bow is new, though I'm not completely sure.
