Celebrating two decades since its premiere, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith remains the climactic finale of the Prequel Trilogy. Released on May 19, 2005, this iconic film marked George Lucas' final direct involvement in the franchise before Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012.
While audiences anticipated Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader, the fate of the Jedi Order posed compelling questions. Palpatine's sinister Order 66 revealed how Clone Troopers betrayed their Jedi allies during the Clone Wars. Given the thousands of Jedi active at the time, numerous survivors emerged beyond those destined for the Original Trilogy.
Among the canonically confirmed Order 66 survivors, we've highlighted the 10 most impactful figures. Some faced imminent danger while others played significant roles in later eras—with several fates still shrouded in mystery. Each survived Palpatine's infamous command, living to continue their fight.
Key criteria: Listed characters must have operated under the Jedi Order's authority before Order 66, regardless of rank—from Initiates to Masters. This excludes independent Force-users like Maul or untrained wielders such as Jod Na Nawood, despite their occasional Jedi mentorship.
Asajj Ventress presents an intriguing borderline case. Trained as Ky Narec's Padawan during their isolation on Rattatak, she never officially joined the Jedi Order nor visited Coruscant. Her subsequent fall to the dark side under Count Dooku further clouds her Jedi credentials, warranting honorable mention status.
