The day of Order 66 was the Republic’s darkest
day, and marked the beginning of the Sith
grand plan falling into place, through the
deception of Darth Sidious.
Despite the Great Jedi Purge wiping out almost
every single Jedi from the galaxy, we do know
of a few who managed to survive past the betrayal
of Order 66.
So I’m going to break down every single
known survivor of the Great Jedi Purge.

wars lore content!
Number 1.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
I’m sure I don’t need to explain this
one, but after the intense fight on Mustafar
with his former apprentice, Anakin Skywalker
and the birth of his two children, Luke and
Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi was sent into exile on
Tatooine to look over Luke and ensure that
the Jedi Order would continue through him.
Number 2.
Master Yoda
Again, this one definitely doesn’t need
much explanation.
Master Yoda placed himself into exile on Dagobah
after his fight with Chancellor Palpatine
and his failure to stop the Sith from ruling
the Galaxy.
While on Dagobah, Master Yoda became the temporary
apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn so that he could
learn how to transition his spirit into the
cosmic force upon his death, giving him the
ability to appear as a force ghost.
Master Yoda successfully transcended into
the force after his death on Dagobah.
Number 3.
Coleman Kcaj
Coleman Kcaj was a Jedi master who served
on the high council during the final months
of the Clone Wars.
Kcaj was one of the very few Jedi to escape
the complete chaos and carnage of Order 66,
managing to hide himself from the Empire incredibly
well.
During Darth Vader’s hunt for fellow Order
66 survivor, Eeth Koth, Coleman Kcaj’s name
appeared on a list of wanted Jedi, meaning
that he has still yet to be found by the Empire.
Number 4.
Eeth Koth.
Eeth Koth was another Jedi Master who served
on the High council throughout the Separatist
Crisis and the Clone Wars.
As the Clone War neared its end, Eeeth Koth
was removed from the Jedi council for unknown
reasons and left the Jedi Order completely
as a result.
Following his departure from the Jedi Order,
Eeth Koth became a priest in the Church of
the Gothic Enlightenment and eventually had
a child with a woman named Mira.
Only moments after the child was born however,
Darth Vader arrived at the secret home of
Eeth Koth.
Eeth Koth pleaded for his life and for the
lives of his wife and child, but Vader was
not going to stand down.
Vader’s inquisitors eventually captured
Koth’s child to turn her into a future inquisitor,
which distracted the Zabrak, allowing Vader
to impale him with his vibrant red lightsaber.
Number 5.
Kirak Infila
Kirak infila was a Jedi Master who specialized
in combat and Lightsaber fighting during his
time in the order.
Shortly before Order 66, Master Infila left
the Jedi Order and took a vow known as the
Barash Vow, which meant that he was not able
to take part in any activities related to
the Jedi Order, and disengage from anything
except the force itself.
Because he was not an active member of the
Jedi order at the time of Order 66, he was
able to escape execution by his Clones.
Unfortunately however, He was hunted down
and located by the dark Lord, Darth Vader
on the river moon of Al Doleem.
Vader and Infila engaged in a ferocious battle,
resulting in one of Vader’s mechanical legs
being broken off.
Infila took this opportunity to blast Darth
Vader off of the tall, rocky cliff that they
were fighting on, believing that he had fallen
to his death.
Following this, Infila travelled to a nearby
city known as Am’balaar, still believing
that Vader had been killed from the fall off
the monstrous cliff.
Unfortunately, Vader had repaired his broken
cybernetics and tracked down Infila once again.
Vader then used the force to destroy all of
the water tanks surrounding the city, flooding
the entire area, and forcing Infila to watch.
Once Vader had decimated the local population,
he force choked Kirak Infila death and threw
his lifeless body into the flooded city.
Number 6.
Taron Malicos.
Taron Malicos was a Jedi master who served
as a General during the Clone Wars.
After Order 66 was called by Chancellor Palpatine,
Malicos was betrayed by his clone troopers,
but managed to escape them, crash landing
on the red world of Dathomir.
Once there, he tricked the Nightsister Merrin
into teaching him the ways of the Dark Nightsister
Magic, slowly turning himself to the dark
side.
He also became the leader of the Nightbrothers
on Dathomir, after defeating their leader,
Viscus in a ceremonial battle.
Malicos tried to turn Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis
to the dark side twice, both times failing,
eventually leading to an intense fight which
resulted in him being buried under the surface
of Dathomir with the same Nightsister Magic
that he so desired to learn.
It’s not clear at this point whether or
not he is actually dead, but with Nightsister
Magic, he could definitely still be alive.
Number 7.
Jocasta Nu
Jocasta Nu was a Jedi Master and of course,
the Chief Librarian of the Jedi Order.
Unlike many of her fellow Jedi, she was able
to survive the events of Order 66 and the
march on the Jedi temple by Darth Vader and
the 501st.
A short time after the great purge, Jocasta
Nu travelled back to the Jedi temple under
the cover of darkness to recover a Jedi holocron
filled with a list of force sensitive children
in the galaxy.
Darth Vader of course eventually tracked her
down, hoping to execute her and recover the
list of force sensitive children.
After Vader eventually captured Jocasta Nu,
she closed her eyes as he coldly executed
her with his red lightsaber.
He also later destroyed the holocron with
the list of names so that Darth Sidious could
not replace him with a future Sith apprentice.
Number 8.
Oppo Rancisis
Oppo Rancisis was another Jedi master and
member of the High council who managed to
escape the Jedi Purge.
During the Battle of Saleucami, Rancisis served
alongside Master Stasse Allie, but unlike
her, he was able to evade the Clone Troopers
of the 91st and go into hiding.
We don’t know anything else about his survival,
other than he was on the same list that Vader
and the Grand inquisitor looked at after killing
Eeth Koth.
Number 9.
Luminara Unduli
Luminara Unduli served at the battle of Kashyyk
during the events of Order 66.
After the order was given to her Clone Troopers
on the planet, Luminara was captured, rather
than executed and taken to the “Spire”
prison on the planet Stygeon prime, where
hologram footage was taken of her, so that
the empire could lure in other surviving Jedi
who believed she might still be alive.
After this, she was executed just like the
other Jedi, and her lifeless body was placed
inside of a cooling chamber inside of the
prison complex at the Spire.
Her hologram footage was used to lure surviving
Jedi Caleb Dume and his apprentice, Ezra bridger
to the Spire in Star Wars Rebels.
Number 10.
Master Uvell
Not much is known about Master Uvell, other
than he served as a General during the Clone
wars and was able to survive the first wave
of Order 66.
After the shocking betrayal from his Clone
Troopers, he began to collect as many Jedi
artifacts as he could, and gave them to a
human antiques dealer for safe keeping.
His fate is currently unknown.
Number 11.
Quinlan Vos.
In the final days of the Clone Wars, Quinlan
Vos was stationed on Kashyyyk with Master
Yoda and Luminara Unduli, helping Wookiee
Chieftain Tarfful with preparing strategy
for the battle.
Following the Events of Order 66, Master Quinlan
vos was placed on a list of priority Jedi
targets for the inquisitors to track down
and kill.
We don’t know anything about his fate after
escaping Kashyyyk, but he did appear in a
force vision to Darth Vader, where Vader killed
Vos, along with Plo Koon and Shaak Ti, who
are confirmed to be dead after Order 66, meaning
his fate could be the same.
Number 12.
Ferren Barr
Ferren Bar was a Jedi Padawan who survived
the events of Order 66 and was able to pull
together a small band of Rebels.
Unfortunately their presence on the aquatic
world of Mon Kala attracted the attention
of Darth Vader, who travelled there with his
inquisitors and a squad of Clone Purge troopers
to execute him.
Vader shredded through Ferren Barr’s Disciples,
but Barr himself was able to use a Jedi mind
trick to get the Clone purge troopers to turn
against the inquisitors who accompanied Vader.
Because the inquisitors themselves were former
Jedi, he was able to trick the Purge troopers
into executing Order 66 on them, killing the
10th brother.
Padawan Ferren Barr then faced Vader in a
one on one lightsaber fight, where he was
swiftly defeated.
Number 13.
Caleb Dume
Caleb Dume was the Jedi Padawan to Master
Depa Billaba during the Clone Wars and Later
went on to be known as Kanan Jarrus.
Caleb Dume was sitting at a campfire with
his master and their Clone Commander, Commander
Grey, when the chilling call for Order 66
was given.
Commander Grey and Bilaba’s other Clones
turned on her and Caleb Dume, but she heroically
gave her life to save the young Caleb Dume,
allowing him to go on the run, escaping the
purge.
Caleb Dume, under the name Kanan Jarrus eventually
went on to train a young force sensitive boy
from Lothal named Ezra Bridger.
Number 14.
Cal Kestis.
Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis was the apprentice
to Master Jaro Tapal, and was taken along
with him to most battles of the Clone wars
that his master was assigned to.
When Order 66 was called, Cal Kestis was able
to escape his Venator class star destroyer
after his master gave his life to prevent
his Clone Troopers from killing the young
boy.
He was able to make it into the escape pod
of his ship, to avoid the betrayal of the
Clones.
He was later hunted down by the Inquisitors
of the Empire after using the force to save
his friend Prauf from certain death while
working in the scrap yards of Bracca.
He eventually joined up with fellow Order
66 survivor, Cere Junda, and became her apprentice.
Number 15.
Cere Junda
That leads us straight into Cere Junda.
Cere Junda was a Jedi Knight who served as
the apprentice to Master Eno Cordova.
Junda eventually took her own apprentice,
Trilla Suduri, who she left alone to sacrifice
herself to the inquisitors in the aftermath
of Order 66.
Although Cere did this to protect Trilla,
Trilla eventually turned to the dark side
and became an inquisitor for Darth Vader.
Following her discovery of Cal Kestis, she
took him on as an apprentice and dedicated
herself to the secret restoration of the Jedi
Order.
Number 16.
Trilla Suduri.

Empire in Jedi: Fallen Order.
Number 18.
Naq Med.

He was eventually tracked down by the grand
inquisitor, where they entered a ferocious
fight.
Unlike many of the others on this list, he
managed to break the inquisitor’s lightsaber
surviving the fight.
Med went on to live all the way to 30ABY,
where he died peacefully.
Number 19.
Zubain Ankonori
Zubain Ankonori was a Zabrak Jedi knight who
served in the final years of the Galactic
Republic.
When Order 66 was initiated, Ankonori was

spot and executed in cold blood by one of
Vader’s inquisitors.
Number 20.
Mususiel
Mususiel was the second member of Ankonori’s

Lord Darth Maul following the Siege of Mandalore,
Ahsoka managed to escape the harsh betrayal
of Order 66 by the 332nd Company.

chip of Captain Rex and the two were able
to escape, as their Republic cruiser crashed
into an unknown icy moon, killing all members
of the 332nd company on board.
Not long after Ahsoka went on to start a small
scale resistance movement on the planet Raada,
under the false name Ashla, and was later
recruited as a fulcrum agent to the Rebel
Alliance.
Number 24. and 25.
The Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister.

of stealing these children, but was able to
defeat him, saving the lives of many kids
in the orphanage, and ensuring that he would
not return.

who we know absolutely nothing about, but
their names did appear on the list of Jedi

after Eeth Koth’s death.
