Video idea: Starships with the longest confirmed operational life in both Legends and Canon. Operational life being defined as from first constructed to last known use/destruction.
Funnily enough, I’ve been keeping a list of survivors to determine which if any I could write about in fanfics. (The following is a list of other survivors not mentioned that includes former or fallen Jedi, Jedi not killed by Order 66 upon first execution, or Jedi alive during Order 66 but whose fates are unknown.) Aidan Bok, Ameesa Darys, Antaria Wellos, Axton Tredway, Barriss Offee* (died in Legends, fate unknown in Canon), Bol Chatak, Borik Yelgo, Cho'na Bene, Codi Ty, Dama Montalvo, Deran Nalual, Ephaan Kenzon, Etain Tur-Mukan, Gilflyn, Gira, Gruu Dunrik, Halbret, Iwo Kulka, Jambe Lu, Jhor-Kai, Kennan Taanzer, Kira Vantala, Laranth Tarak, Lilith, Malleus, Meloria, Minos Fel'Kona, Morvet Storm, Nam Poorf, Nax Cirvan, Niebur Boton, Nolor, Onli Shi'en, Ool Awmod, Raik Muun, Rav Naaran, Roni von Wasaki, Sarn Vals, Seek Ryontarr, Set Harth* (While not affiliated with the Order for almost a thousand years, he still managed to survive at least until the Yuuzhan Vong War.) Sha Koon, Siadem Forte, Suljo Warde, Tel Angor, Thracia Cho Leem, Warl Thimbus, Zalbar Jyvun, Jerserra's master, Third Brother, Fourth Sister, Fifth Brother, Seventh Sister, Eighth Brother, Tenth Brother.
I do like the idea that Yoda was telling Luke that he was one of the last traditionally trained Jedi (far as possible) and currently practicing. Legends and Canon go to good lengths mentioning that survivors need to shed their jedi-ness to survive the new galaxy (see Cal and Dark Times comics). So many jedi simply dropped their practice or even turned to the dark (very common now). So I can still see Yoda telling Luke he is one of the last as still holding true.
I'm reminded of KotOR II and how the real Lost Jedi were 60% of the friends we made along the way. It's basically the same situation where Jedi go into hiding and let go being a Jedi until the storm has passed instead of self-destructing foolishly because that's what they are called to do.
True, but it's not about whether or not the specific letter of Yoda's word is contradicted or not, it's about what you're supposed to believe is at stake when watching _Empire_ and _Jedi._ It's a narrative/thematic thing, not an anti-plot-hole thing. Don't get me wrong, I don't think an IP holder is artistically obligated to prevent a whole bunch of ideas different authors had for books, games and roleplays just to preserve the original implications of the prime work. But I don't think we should pretend there isn't a conflict in the first place, either.
I like to note the quote "10.000 jedi *knights"* so there's also padawans, younglings and jedi masters, say at a thousand. Killing most jedi would leave at least 150 left.
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 Obi Wan may have been using knights as a general term for full members of the order, so both those of the rank Knight and Master, given that he refers to himself as a Jedi Knight in a A New Hope. Jedi that don't hold the rank of Master are also often called Master as well, so, it's fluid.
I think the idea of survivors adapting to new conditions and surviving via different methods really makes this interesting in a sense of just how do a people/order adapt when they no longer are affiliated with a position of power and are hunted. I did my masters thesis on emigre communities to Canada and its amazing how these communities adapted, changed and thrived in spite of their situation in a new environment despite their realties. I think it would be more interesting to see different Jedi methods of adapting to the new reality that aren't necessarily an adventurer or rebel etc. Like Eeth-Koth becoming a priest and having a family in canon, to the Inquisitors, Cal Kestis, Jax Pavan becoming a Private Eye etc its an fascinating era.
Legends once again proving to be more chaotic but still way more interesting. Thank you for this list Corey! Definitely was needed, as I truly never grasped how many jedi survived order 66 until you put them all together.
I mean obviously Jerec was the greatest of these that really did something with his life, brought many former Jedi into the fold, helped promote businesses and supported the troops. Good Guy Jerec.
@@michaelandreipalon359 'hiring' is a bit too generous, he took Boc as a slave, tortured and trained him as an experiment while also using the Force to rip things from Boc's mind...it's not as dark as what Sariss's own dad did to her...but it's also pretty messed up.
@@michaelandreipalon359 It was still very early in the Lightsaber wielding/Force user player days. A lot of the more frustrating aspects were due to the relatively new nature of it at the time, though once refined, those same things became common staples of later games. But yes, trying to deal with Boc was always a headache. I got lucky my first time in the game and he got caught on something and couldn't get himself unstuck so I just beat him to death with my lightsaber.
@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 Agreed, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy sure spoiled us with more Force powers, especially Force Speed... fans of the DC Animated Universe Clock King and Puella Magi Madoka Magica character Homura Akemi can attest to the power of what is essentially time manipulation/super speed. Ah, those good old dumb A.I. moments are somehow rare on my end.
Honestly, I don't mind that some of the Jedi survived. Letting go of being the galactic police and instead doing what you can on the local level until the Order can be restored is a pretty Jedi thing to do (Fallen Order pretty much showcases why). It looks odd though that even afterwards they just stayed hidden. Legends has the excuse that nobody really knew for sure and so Timothy Zahn and Kevin J. Anderson can be excused for taking Yoda a bit too literally and assuming there weren't any, but Disney had the benefit of hindsight and shouldn't have repeated that mistake.
Except legends have jedi survive both before episode 3 and after episode 3 so no they do not have an excuse. They didn't take Yoda latterly as they still had jedi show up Dearing the empire Era.
18:43 Was there ever an explanation for why the Rebels didn't ask him to train Luke (at least for a few weeks)? Is it just that he didn't join until after Luke had started training through other sources? At least with Kota, it can be argued that he and Juno spent most of the Galactic Civil War operating on planetary scales in order to keep Starkiller's existence secret/discreet for as long as possible.
I like survivors that join Luke's Order, and don't like those that aimlessly wander about not caring about rebuilding the galaxy after the Empire's defeat. The problem with canon is that they blew up Luke's Order in its first appearance just to rehash the status quo of A New Hope, which creates a giant problem where survivors have nowhere to go anymore. The setting itself was setup for failure with that decision, not for supporting any kind of "expanded" content.
Which is why I really hope that eventually we get some stories that just say “fuck the sequels, how about we DON’T instantly re-destroy the jedi order and let an actual story be told?”
It's old hat to complain about Disney on a Legends video, but I sincerely feel like one of the greatest sins of the Sequel Trilogy was the categorical refusal to worldbuild. Even if the movies had been really good, that refusal would have meant they left basically nothing behind for other creatives and fans. Whereas no matter what someone thinks about the Prequels, just like the OT, they left behind an incredibly rich world where countless other stories could be and were told. I love them, but someone could genuinely hate Episodes 1 through 3, and still get to enjoy things like the 2003 Clone Wars miniseries, or Republic Commando. I mean even Disney themselves essentially confess this when they make at least as much supplementary material set before or during the movies as after them. Even things I will praise them for such as the Andorverse are the same story.
I agree. Nothing in ahsoka or Mando or anything set in that period in canon even matters because anyone who joined Luke's order presumably died when Kylo Ren fell to the dark side. Disney has made a lot of extremely poor decisions with star wars but killing off Luke's new jedi order before we could even see it ranks as one of their worst.
I made it till the end of the video. I very much enjoyed it. Thank you for all that hard work. Back in the late 90s when the Force Unleashed and all the action figures with talking chips was a thing, I pretended that Dash Rendar was a Survivor hiding as a smuggler and bounty hunter in order to find more survivor's and get them to safety. I made several stop motion movies AR the time using the action figures released at the time. Each one was about 20 min long and would take me about a month to make. I happened opon a Sony Video Editor Controller, Two Bata Max players made for it as well as a sound integration editor board. Adding in my Korg Synthesizer and an early digital sound recorder I could make my own music, sound effects, as well as alter my voice to sound like the characters as long as my initial impression was close to original. I was very happy how they turned out. I had Dash find and save 4 former Jedi over 6 short films 🎥 🎞 🎦 🎬 📽 👌. My X wife threw the tapes out in the trash 6 years ago 🤨 .
This is kinda why I wish the Jedi Order that Luke had been trying to form hadn't been completely wiped out. I'd have loved to have seen some new Jedi in the Sequel era. As it is now, if you want a Jedi Character you either have to do the High Republic which is still ongoing, or Prequel Era which tends to boil down to if they survive Order 66 or not.
Or you know the decades of EU books which unlike "canon" actually had some stories with competent writting and a post ROTJ era jedi order that wasnt dogshit.
Luke's new Jedi order wasn't wiped out. By the end of his story, it had fully reestablished the Jedi temple on Coruscant plus several other planets and had over a thousand members
Star Wars Visions has a few more survivors like F (please canonize her) and Jay, but its canonical status is grey, so I understand not mentioning it. Great video! It is very straightforward & easy to understand considering the number of combined survivors from both Legends & Canon
Yeah, we’re looking at minimum 10,000 to an upper bound of tens of thousands. Even if we’re looking at only 10k total, 180 is a 2% survival rate. But more importantly, the organization and infrastructure are completely destroyed, and its surviving members are scattered to the four corners of the galaxy.
I once counted 188, though I seem to have lost the file. Sorted by rank, the vast majority were Padawans or Initiates (in the latter case, I guess they-though technically members of the Jedi Order-can't be said to really have ever been "Jedi", but should be described as "children of the Jedi", per Hambly retconned). Most unconfirmed cases were retconned into Padawans or Initiates down the line in some source or other. I counted something like two or three confirmed Jedi Masters alive past Yoda, one of whom was Qu Rahn, who died immediately afterwards. So, at least in Legends, the Purge was, despite grumblings, a very thorough job.
It's fascinating that most of the survivors were padawans. Characters like Cal Kestis and Caleb Dume only survived due to their masters sacrifice and the bits and pieces of knowledge and training available to them. It's essentially a vast network of war orphans trying to reconcile what their philosophy was and why it failed.
Great listing! Can’t imagine the time and research it must have taken! There was the omission however of two other named Jedi from the legends comics that I remember: Sha Koon, Plo Koon’s niece who was killed by Vader on Coruscant and Cho’na Bene, who was shot down by an ISB agent after escaping Vader.
So I may have missed it, but in Star Wars Battlefront II: 2005, in the mission Naboo: Imperial Diplomacy, there are a whole bunch of order 66 survivors defending a queen of naboo, as well as in the mission Death Star: Prison Break, there is a survivor leading a worker revolt on board of the first Death Star.
I think the problem is ppl don't understand how many Jedi there are just before the Clone Wars, let alone before Order 66 went down. There are like 3-4 branches of the Jedi Order, plus any heretic like orders out there from the old cannon. The Galaxy is a big place and the Jedi have to have significant numbers to cover many of the places given all the brushfire events that seem to be happening all the time. Its not hard to realize there where a good number of survivors of Order 66. Why you think the Empire spent like the first 5 years after their formation taking out Separatist Remnants and Vader being thrown here and there tracking down surviving Jedi that didn't do the smart thing and hid themselves into absurdity? Taking down any from of organization is never total, there are always survivors. The bigger the group the more survivors there are bound to be.
45:00 just a quick correction(not sending hate or nothing) lately I’ve been seeing people say/ask Luminara was a council member and she’s not on the council for canon or legends but other than that enjoy the video and glad I finally got a total number of the Jedi survivors in legends
So what i got from all this was dont ever meet a skywalker if youre a jedi. You either get killed by them, die for them or get trained for a bit then get randomly murdered
Considering that there were supposed to be around 10,000 Jedi (not even counting rejects that sent to the Agricorps) around the fall of the Republic, with less than 200 confirmed survivors so far, that means Order 66 was more than 98% effective. So no, I don’t think that we have too many Jedi survivors floating around out there.
I guess he finally let go of the anger and grief that had driven him all those years and that was the only thing keeping him going? Idk but that's my guess
Started with two, Yoda and Obi Wan. So far there is 50+. We have 25 times the amount we started with. At this rate, by the time I'm an old man it'll be "every jedi actually survived".
Even if Order 66 survivors still fits with the letter of Yoda's word, it does take away from the stakes one naturally presumes watching _Empire_ and _Jedi_ films-only.
There shouldn't be more than a couple. Anikan brought balance by killing the Jedi. After he did, there was 2 sith, 2 Jedi= balance. All these other Jedi means he failed as the chosen 1.
@mrzirak792 no, that can't be right. The force has 2 sides, light and dark. The dark is only a issue when there is no balance. The dark is not a cancer to the force any more than the light nc the force is both. It's only a issue when either side has to much power, then the force is out of balance. I don't think numbers actually matter. You could have 1 Jedi as powerfull as 10 sith , or 1 of each but equal power. The struggle is to bring the force back into balance. Anikan was said to do that. He did bc there was way more light than dark. And when the dark takes to much power, the light will rise up. The empire was to much, in time the force was out of balance again. Luke then rose up to defeat the empire, bringing it back into balance. It's the struggle to keep it in balance that makes the story great. It would not be as good if the struggle didn't exist.
If you think about it, it makes sense. Everyone had a lot more independence in writing, and nobody knew how the Jedi were destroyed. Plus, canon is pretty new
@@CoreysDatapad i mean how can you know if it is these 2 jedi from Brotherhood ? I read the issue and we never know if the 2 are the jedi and not just bounty Hunters. Maybe they are other characters with the same name 🤷♂️
I think new cannon handled a lot of it well. Because why wouldn’t we see more Jedi in the original trilogy? Kanan sacrifices himself, Ezra and thrawn get sent to the unknown region, Ashoka is pulled out of space and time. Like it makes sense to me.
Uh no it doesn't? Ahsoka is just doing nothing during OT despite Rebellion having a hero who is also a Skywalker. And then there's Cal who is most likely is dead. And then there is Quinlan who is either going to die or he would settle somewhere like in Legends
After your video but if people are coming to this later: barris survived, with the goal of being trained as an inquisitor (fate tbd) per the tales of the empire series coming soon. And asaj ventress survived (not a Jedi but she at one time was in the order)
In Legends about 90 Jedi survived the Jedi Purge with about 110 of the other order 66 survivors later being killed during the 19 + years of the purge. Of those 90 survivors of the purge many of them turned to the dark side and joined the empire while many others let go of their past. Of those survivors who remained many of them such as Kkrukh and Tra Sha later joined Luke Skywalkers new Jedi Order. In Star Wars canon possibly as many as 45 Jedi survived well past the Jedi Purge even post Return Of The Jedi. This means that in total 135 Jedi survived the Jedi Purge both in legends and in canon which is still just 1 percent of the Jedi Order meaning that the empire was almost completely successful in wiping out the Jedi killing 99% of Jedi either during order 66 or during the Jedi Purge.
It’s known that several hundred Jedi escaped or survived order 66. Now at most that’s prob around 400. Which means order 66 had a 96% success rate which is excellent. However baby’s on the internet can’t do math. So I’ll help u out. In the months that followed the purge, Jedi were hunted relentlessly. Just by reading the purge comics and the dark times, as well as reading some legends books. I found 70 plus Jedi being still alive by the time of just a few months after order 66. Many of them either were turned into dark side adepts or killed. In fact in 18bby Inquisitorius alone already had dozens of members. The empire prob killed or captured a good 60 to 70 percent of Jedi just in the first 4-8 months of the empire existing. So it’s not that ridiculous. I recon by Jedi survivor there were less then 100 Jedi left that were on the loose and not killed or captured. By ep 6 a few dozen.
I sure worry a lot when it comes to the ones whose fates are never ultimately resolved. Ambiguity is one thing, but loose ends are another, meaner thing altogether. Isn't Dass Jennir pronounced "jen-neer"? Same with Jax Pavan being "pah-van"? Bit of a shame you didn't mention the fact that Zonder is the apprentice of Barriss Offee, who stayed loyal to the Jedi Order in Legends. Not sure on Shaak Ti (considering the increasingly dubious state of The Force Unleashed being part of Legends), but I'm of the opinion that Even Piell's Coruscant Nights death is the Legends canon one, with the TCW 2008 death being of the Disney Canon Alt-universe. Alas, I doubt Zao survived, considering that Sidirri is implied to have become a Dark Jedi in the Empire/Rebellion comics. Believe me, you're lucky you didn't play Uprising.
Barriss is a really interesting case, because technically speaking, clone wars, season 1-6, is part of both legends and canon, but season seven is specifically part of canon. So Barriss’ fall is a legends retcon that was canonized.
@@comandantegorrion7271 Apocryphal information, that, so it really shouldn't count and thus Abel Peña's and the Wookieepedia editors' strange whimsies need to be put into huge question.
@@jfournerat1274 Yeah. And maybe one could make the argument that it doesn't include Jedi and/or Jedi sects that the main order excommunicated or the simple fact that some survivors never were involved with the war such as Ikrit due to being in a hibernation trance waiting for the right force sensitive children on Yavin to free the souls of the Massassi children or Ood Bnar due to him being in hibernation ever since the devastation of Ossus during the Great Sith War 4000 years prior to Yavin
I fully understand Lucas not having a long-term vision of Star Wars when creating and releasing a New Hope. He had no clue how massive it would become and grow. But you'd think after half a century, they would've learned that killing off swathes of people or characters, would put them in a bind. Like killing off Boba Fett. It was a surprise how a guy with minimal screen time and lines, became so popular, and through some crafty writing in the expanded universe, he was able to reappear. Same with a favorite like Maul. They decided to wipe out the entire Jedi Order, then find themselves without material or how to explain certain things, so they've quietly retconned or tweaked the event. Just stop murdering off characters. You'll have continuity and subjects to work with.
There are so many people who survived order 66 in the legends timeline People bitching Ahsoka surviving When according to George Lucas 100 people survived order 66 in his sequels is so funny.
The CGI clone wars was originally meant to be canon to Legends (which it wasn't and is single handedly responsible for more then half of Legends retcons) which kind of implied her death.... Canon straight up pulled a time travel bs crap that you just know is focused on a creator pet.
Yes He did that to show how special she is to the overall star wars universe. who caares ... 1000000s of edu surive some one has to admit they are racist and hate Ahsoka. No Jedi not light sider would have such a hard on for death of such a nice character @@Xo-3130
Find it funny people say to many survive order 66....yet this video shows that is not true. Yes the start had many survive. But after that Vader killed a lot of them.
Proof that the Rebels lie about my benevolent rule. Proof that no Jedi truly died under the alleged ‘Order 66’. If l truly wanted the Jedi exterminated, I’d have executed Order 67 and had the Grand Funk Army drop the Beat Star on their temple!
Anakin brought balance to the force by killing off the Jedi. Once he did, there where 2 sith and 2 Jedi. The rest need to be dead. Unless you create more Sith.
I assume the reason that nine of the other Jedi helped train Luke is because none of them wanted to deal with a second, younger Anakin after how he acted in the clone wars
it somewhat seems that many of the Order 66 Survivors get the Red Shirt Threatment: the only reason the show up to show how dangerous the situation is or as in this case, how badass Darth Vader is and i don't know how good it is that the Reader should root for a genocidal Mass Murder fueled by PTSD
I mean there were 10,000 jedi knights pre order-66. That doesn't include padawans or younglings. So 180 survivors out of even 10,000 (actual number is probably much higher) is still a survival rate of around 1%, a cull that successfully wipes out nearly 99% of something is pretty successful if you ask me.
@@ItsAv3rageGamer the 10.000 jedi "knights" estimate leads to me suspect additional thousands of Padawans, thousands of younglings, hundreds of jedi master, and thousands if not tens of thousands of agricultural corp jedi.
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 Exactly, and most of the survivors of order 66 were younglings or padawans, because the more senior Jedi gave their lives to protect them. There probably weren't hundreds of masters though, weren't the only masters the ones who sat on the council, and 3 of them were killed by Palpatine before order 66 actually happened.
@@ItsAv3rageGamer those were jedi council members. All council members are masters. Not all masters are council members. This was confirmed in games and books taken place between Revan's time basically and his resurrected self. SWYTOR and KOTOR content and thereabouts
Not sure how contentious this opinion may be but instead of legends and canon maybe legacy and current? Lets be real, legacy had the most tender love and care put into it. Current is a product of pure profit driven obligations, get it out get it done material.
Ah order 66....the jedi holocust....a holocust sooooo successfull that so many jedi survived....jedi that could have taught luke....jedi who could have fought the empire...jedi who werent mentioned surviving in the real star wars lore from the EU and Legends. Hmmmm i mean there kyle kartan....but if 180 jedi survived order 66 why did none who survived the next 24 years try to help luke restart the jedi order? You telling me ashoke didn't try to help luke restart the order? Or those two jedi women th blue twi'lek who ate 500 blaster bolts to the back and died in episode 3 but who survived order 66 (FFS!) didn't try to help luke? Or the red skinned woman who's the same species as ashoke. Her fighter got shot down and blew up but she lived...some how...she didn't? It's almost like order 66 didn't happen at this point or not as bad as it was made out to be otherwise it's not like in the REAL lore luke spent years and years hunting for any scrap of info on how to train jedi because the Empire wipe the all out along with as much teachings as they could. Naaaw. Frankly at this point I wonder if th jedi holocust even happened. Like...the fuck. Lol kinda makes me question alot.
1. The vast majority of the survivors, especially ones who live until Luke is active, are actually from Legends and not Canon. Canon has tended to kill off most of its Survivors before Yavin. Legends has many of them join Luke's order at some indeterminate point, and his order is even run by some of them after his death (characters who weren't around in any of the stories of him building the order, like K'kruhk and Tr'a Saa) 2. I don't know where you're getting the idea that Aayla Secura survived. She didn't. The twi'lek in the thumbnail is not her, it's a different (Legends) character. 3. In Book of Boba Fett we see Ahsoka with Luke on Ossus, so yes actually, she was in contact with him. 4. I have no idea who you're referring to with a red skinned woman being shot down. I think you're conflating both Plo Koon and Shaak Ti, both of whom die in Legends and Canon, but in Legends Shaak Ti actually lives until after Luke is active.
First and foremost is that Order 66 is the START of the Jedi purge and a lot of survivors would still end up getting hunted down eventually. Aside from that, you got to keep in mind how big a galaxy is. The idea that Luke is literally the last Jedi alive is rather unbelievable when you start thinking scale. How many are just soo off the grid right now they don't even know there's even been a rebellion, much less another Jedi hero kicking as? How many don't think Luke Skywalker is really a Jedi considering he's a Skywalker, meaning he might be an apprentice to Vader? How many survivors looked at the Jedi Order and think there's no point in brining back the Jedi given how they turned out?
If only 180 hundred survived most would never meet or know who Luke is. The galaxy is huge, they would have a low chance to find or know where he is. While some would have fallen into the Dark side and joined the empire to become an inquisitor.
Regarding Valara Saar: I'd never heard of her before, but she looks *a lot* like this person Mnggal-Mnggal is about to strike in this image: static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/6/63/Mnggal-Mnggal_Host-TUR.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100511112101 So it's possible she's implied to be dead?

Funnily enough, I’ve been keeping a list of survivors to determine which if any I could write about in fanfics.

Wasn't Jocasta Nu a survivor in the 2017 Vader comic? Was surprised she didn't pop up
It's possible Lord Cronal might've been a member of the Jedi Order as well.
180 survivors out of 10000 is a pretty good clean up by Palpatine all things considered.
I do like the idea that Yoda was telling Luke that he was one of the last traditionally trained Jedi (far as possible) and currently practicing. Legends and Canon go to good lengths mentioning that survivors need to shed their jedi-ness to survive the new galaxy (see Cal and Dark Times comics). So many jedi simply dropped their practice or even turned to the dark (very common now). So I can still see Yoda telling Luke he is one of the last as still holding true.
Exactly feels like people miss the point of their being survivors besides yoda and obiwan.
I'm reminded of KotOR II and how the real Lost Jedi were 60% of the friends we made along the way. It's basically the same situation where Jedi go into hiding and let go being a Jedi until the storm has passed instead of self-destructing foolishly because that's what they are called to do.
“From a certain point of view”
True, but it's not about whether or not the specific letter of Yoda's word is contradicted or not, it's about what you're supposed to believe is at stake when watching _Empire_ and _Jedi._ It's a narrative/thematic thing, not an anti-plot-hole thing.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think an IP holder is artistically obligated to prevent a whole bunch of ideas different authors had for books, games and roleplays just to preserve the original implications of the prime work. But I don't think we should pretend there isn't a conflict in the first place, either.
Til Kyle Katarn shows up
Clicked for the big honkers, stayed for Jimbo
considering there were thousands of jedi prior to 66, there being a few hundred survivors is a pretty slim amount.
I like to note the quote "10.000 jedi *knights"* so there's also padawans, younglings and jedi masters, say at a thousand. Killing most jedi would leave at least 150 left.
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 Obi Wan may have been using knights as a general term for full members of the order, so both those of the rank Knight and Master, given that he refers to himself as a Jedi Knight in a A New Hope. Jedi that don't hold the rank of Master are also often called Master as well, so, it's fluid.
I think the idea of survivors adapting to new conditions and surviving via different methods really makes this interesting in a sense of just how do a people/order adapt when they no longer are affiliated with a position of power and are hunted. I did my masters thesis on emigre communities to Canada and its amazing how these communities adapted, changed and thrived in spite of their situation in a new environment despite their realties. I think it would be more interesting to see different Jedi methods of adapting to the new reality that aren't necessarily an adventurer or rebel etc. Like Eeth-Koth becoming a priest and having a family in canon, to the Inquisitors, Cal Kestis, Jax Pavan becoming a Private Eye etc its an fascinating era.
Legends once again proving to be more chaotic but still way more interesting. Thank you for this list Corey! Definitely was needed, as I truly never grasped how many jedi survived order 66 until you put them all together.
I can't believe Tag and Bink were forgotten
Greatest. Jedi. Ever,...😅
I mean obviously Jerec was the greatest of these that really did something with his life, brought many former Jedi into the fold, helped promote businesses and supported the troops.
Good Guy Jerec.
Gotta hate him for hiring that jumping annoyance Boq though.
@@michaelandreipalon359 'hiring' is a bit too generous, he took Boc as a slave, tortured and trained him as an experiment while also using the Force to rip things from Boc's mind...it's not as dark as what Sariss's own dad did to her...but it's also pretty messed up.
@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 Still a jumping annoyance. Gods, Dark Forces II sorely needed the Saber Throw ability.
@@michaelandreipalon359 It was still very early in the Lightsaber wielding/Force user player days. A lot of the more frustrating aspects were due to the relatively new nature of it at the time, though once refined, those same things became common staples of later games.
But yes, trying to deal with Boc was always a headache. I got lucky my first time in the game and he got caught on something and couldn't get himself unstuck so I just beat him to death with my lightsaber.
@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 Agreed, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy sure spoiled us with more Force powers, especially Force Speed... fans of the DC Animated Universe Clock King and Puella Magi Madoka Magica character Homura Akemi can attest to the power of what is essentially time manipulation/super speed.
Ah, those good old dumb A.I. moments are somehow rare on my end.
Honestly, I don't mind that some of the Jedi survived. Letting go of being the galactic police and instead doing what you can on the local level until the Order can be restored is a pretty Jedi thing to do (Fallen Order pretty much showcases why). It looks odd though that even afterwards they just stayed hidden. Legends has the excuse that nobody really knew for sure and so Timothy Zahn and Kevin J. Anderson can be excused for taking Yoda a bit too literally and assuming there weren't any, but Disney had the benefit of hindsight and shouldn't have repeated that mistake.
Disney canon is more like reinventing the wheel, than learning from the past mistakes.
@@АлексейМомот-щ7оReinventing the wheel, then cutting the spokes with a lightsaber.
Except legends have jedi survive both before episode 3 and after episode 3 so no they do not have an excuse. They didn't take Yoda latterly as they still had jedi show up Dearing the empire Era.
None of you watched this video @@mechanwhal6590
You’ve done it corey, you can finally be release into the wilds
18:43 Was there ever an explanation for why the Rebels didn't ask him to train Luke (at least for a few weeks)? Is it just that he didn't join until after Luke had started training through other sources?
At least with Kota, it can be argued that he and Juno spent most of the Galactic Civil War operating on planetary scales in order to keep Starkiller's existence secret/discreet for as long as possible.
Calls kept going to voicemail?
@@CoreysDatapadHow so?
I love this video, and the snarky wit about the unique story of survivors.
If Palpatine had access to UA-cam, the galaxy would be a very different place.
There's enough nerd rage and angst on UA-cam to feed Palpatine indefinitely.
This is as useful as any Star Wars reference book, and should be held beside them as an invaluable community resource.
This was a great video and exactly what I needed to pass some time this afternoon.
Nice! Great to have a comprehensive video about this.
I like survivors that join Luke's Order, and don't like those that aimlessly wander about not caring about rebuilding the galaxy after the Empire's defeat. The problem with canon is that they blew up Luke's Order in its first appearance just to rehash the status quo of A New Hope, which creates a giant problem where survivors have nowhere to go anymore. The setting itself was setup for failure with that decision, not for supporting any kind of "expanded" content.
Apathy is death then, when it comes to the aimless fools.
Which is why I really hope that eventually we get some stories that just say “fuck the sequels, how about we DON’T instantly re-destroy the jedi order and let an actual story be told?”
It's old hat to complain about Disney on a Legends video, but I sincerely feel like one of the greatest sins of the Sequel Trilogy was the categorical refusal to worldbuild. Even if the movies had been really good, that refusal would have meant they left basically nothing behind for other creatives and fans.
Whereas no matter what someone thinks about the Prequels, just like the OT, they left behind an incredibly rich world where countless other stories could be and were told. I love them, but someone could genuinely hate Episodes 1 through 3, and still get to enjoy things like the 2003 Clone Wars miniseries, or Republic Commando.
I mean even Disney themselves essentially confess this when they make at least as much supplementary material set before or during the movies as after them. Even things I will praise them for such as the Andorverse are the same story.
I agree. Nothing in ahsoka or Mando or anything set in that period in canon even matters because anyone who joined Luke's order presumably died when Kylo Ren fell to the dark side. Disney has made a lot of extremely poor decisions with star wars but killing off Luke's new jedi order before we could even see it ranks as one of their worst.
I love long lore*videos. Thank you Corey.
I made it till the end of the video. I very much enjoyed it. Thank you for all that hard work. Back in the late 90s when the Force Unleashed and all the action figures with talking chips was a thing, I pretended that Dash Rendar was a Survivor hiding as a smuggler and bounty hunter in order to find more survivor's and get them to safety. I made several stop motion movies AR the time using the action figures released at the time. Each one was about 20 min long and would take me about a month to make. I happened opon a Sony Video Editor Controller, Two Bata Max players made for it as well as a sound integration editor board. Adding in my Korg Synthesizer and an early digital sound recorder I could make my own music, sound effects, as well as alter my voice to sound like the characters as long as my initial impression was close to original. I was very happy how they turned out. I had Dash find and save 4 former Jedi over 6 short films 🎥 🎞 🎦 🎬 📽 👌. My X wife threw the tapes out in the trash 6 years ago 🤨 .
Much respect for the hard work corey
This is kinda why I wish the Jedi Order that Luke had been trying to form hadn't been completely wiped out. I'd have loved to have seen some new Jedi in the Sequel era. As it is now, if you want a Jedi Character you either have to do the High Republic which is still ongoing, or Prequel Era which tends to boil down to if they survive Order 66 or not.
Or you know the decades of EU books which unlike "canon" actually had some stories with competent writting and a post ROTJ era jedi order that wasnt dogshit.
Luke's new Jedi order wasn't wiped out. By the end of his story, it had fully reestablished the Jedi temple on Coruscant plus several other planets and had over a thousand members
I love this star wars video
Good vid and quite informative.
Love these long form, in depth research video
8k-10k jedi before order 66 with about 100 survivors whats the problem 🤯 with most of those killed of by Rebels S2
Star Wars Visions has a few more survivors like F (please canonize her) and Jay, but its canonical status is grey, so I understand not mentioning it.
Great video! It is very straightforward & easy to understand considering the number of combined survivors from both Legends & Canon
They count, but only in the implied Multiversal sense of the Infinities side of Star Wars.
Made it to the end. Hot damn that was impressive. Well done!
this was cool. thanks man.
Yeah this # keeps growing, but even at 200 Jedi that's still only 2%. That's a 98% kill rate for the clone army.
I remember being so delighted when I recognized Tallisibeth in Order 66 from Yoda: Dark Rendezvous.
Did you mention Jocasta and Prosset Dibs/10th Brother?
I could have missed it if it was in the video, but I believe Jocasta Nu survived order 66 in Canon
A far cry from her quick and easy Legends demise, that.
Pretty sure she got hunted down soon after by darth vader
She was killed by Vader after order 66.
200 out of 100,000 isn’t to bad sidious
Yeah, we’re looking at minimum 10,000 to an upper bound of tens of thousands. Even if we’re looking at only 10k total, 180 is a 2% survival rate. But more importantly, the organization and infrastructure are completely destroyed, and its surviving members are scattered to the four corners of the galaxy.
10000 not 100000
More like 3 or 4 hundred and yeah it’s 10,000 not 100,000
I once counted 188, though I seem to have lost the file.
Sorted by rank, the vast majority were Padawans or Initiates (in the latter case, I guess they-though technically members of the Jedi Order-can't be said to really have ever been "Jedi", but should be described as "children of the Jedi", per Hambly retconned). Most unconfirmed cases were retconned into Padawans or Initiates down the line in some source or other.
I counted something like two or three confirmed Jedi Masters alive past Yoda, one of whom was Qu Rahn, who died immediately afterwards. So, at least in Legends, the Purge was, despite grumblings, a very thorough job.
It's fascinating that most of the survivors were padawans. Characters like Cal Kestis and Caleb Dume only survived due to their masters sacrifice and the bits and pieces of knowledge and training available to them. It's essentially a vast network of war orphans trying to reconcile what their philosophy was and why it failed.
@@josephedmond3723 I am not familiar with Disney's canon, but I would assume most survivors in it are Padawans or Initiates, as in the EU.
amazing video
i didnt know I needed this
Great listing! Can’t imagine the time and research it must have taken!
There was the omission however of two other named Jedi from the legends comics that I remember: Sha Koon, Plo Koon’s niece who was killed by Vader on Coruscant and Cho’na Bene, who was shot down by an ISB agent after escaping Vader.
my favorites are def k'kruhk, a'sharad hett and ferus olin. jax pavan aswell.
Kkrukh and Ashrad Hett are also two of my favorites though unlike you my other favorites are Qulian Vos, Tholme, Tra Saa, and Rahm Kota.
Incredible video!
So I may have missed it, but in Star Wars Battlefront II: 2005, in the mission Naboo: Imperial Diplomacy, there are a whole bunch of order 66 survivors defending a queen of naboo, as well as in the mission Death Star: Prison Break, there is a survivor leading a worker revolt on board of the first Death Star.
I was only including explicitly named or titled Jedi here. There are others who are background characters like that.
@@CoreysDatapad Honestly, that is totally fair!
Thank you for giving us the survivors. We can now give him their prize of sending them to an all expense paid ‘vacation’
Tiny correction:
Technically Merrin killed Malicos ;)
I think the problem is ppl don't understand how many Jedi there are just before the Clone Wars, let alone before Order 66 went down. There are like 3-4 branches of the Jedi Order, plus any heretic like orders out there from the old cannon.
The Galaxy is a big place and the Jedi have to have significant numbers to cover many of the places given all the brushfire events that seem to be happening all the time.
Its not hard to realize there where a good number of survivors of Order 66. Why you think the Empire spent like the first 5 years after their formation taking out Separatist Remnants and Vader being thrown here and there tracking down surviving Jedi that didn't do the smart thing and hid themselves into absurdity?
Taking down any from of organization is never total, there are always survivors. The bigger the group the more survivors there are bound to be.
You should do a video like this but for all of the dark-side force adepts under Palpatine, there's a lot of them!
45:00 just a quick correction(not sending hate or nothing) lately I’ve been seeing people say/ask Luminara was a council member and she’s not on the council for canon or legends but other than that enjoy the video and glad I finally got a total number of the Jedi survivors in legends
This is impressive work
Shame on Lucas for failing to have this all figured out from the start lol
I graduated from high school in 1996, and I was not paying attention, glad someone was ;)
superb. thanks for the effort
This is gonna be a good one
So what i got from all this was dont ever meet a skywalker if youre a jedi. You either get killed by them, die for them or get trained for a bit then get randomly murdered
Considering that there were supposed to be around 10,000 Jedi (not even counting rejects that sent to the Agricorps) around the fall of the Republic, with less than 200 confirmed survivors so far, that means Order 66 was more than 98% effective. So no, I don’t think that we have too many Jedi survivors floating around out there.
An’ya Kuro is driving the milk truck
42:53 Died of happiness wtf how is that even possible
I guess he finally let go of the anger and grief that had driven him all those years and that was the only thing keeping him going? Idk but that's my guess
I can’t wait to see the 3rd game
This is a very comprehensive video, really cool.
the real question is whay happened to jedi bob? also you missed the 100 percent definitely canon survivor yarrell poof!!
Started with two, Yoda and Obi Wan. So far there is 50+. We have 25 times the amount we started with. At this rate, by the time I'm an old man it'll be "every jedi actually survived".
I am still sad about Etain... 😢
Even if Order 66 survivors still fits with the letter of Yoda's word, it does take away from the stakes one naturally presumes watching _Empire_ and _Jedi_ films-only.
Light saber battle looks so much better back in EP1-6
"When gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be"
I have become a full blown Order 66 Denier at this point......
I'd like to see a video of every dark side user after order 66
Now direct this video to Lucasfilm writers so they can just pick existing survivors and expanding on them instead of always expanding this list.
Some particular order 66 survivors and their stories who should be brought back into canon are Tholme, Tra Saa, Kkrukh, and Ashrad Hett among others.
Across both timelines or in just one? Data too limited to watch in full right nowm
Both
Feris olin is one of my favorites a good foil to anikin
There shouldn't be more than a couple. Anikan brought balance by killing the Jedi. After he did, there was 2 sith, 2 Jedi= balance. All these other Jedi means he failed as the chosen 1.
@@dude8223 that's not how it works. The Balance is the absence of The Sith, they are cancerous to the force and cause all the disturbance
@mrzirak792 no, that can't be right. The force has 2 sides, light and dark. The dark is only a issue when there is no balance. The dark is not a cancer to the force any more than the light nc the force is both. It's only a issue when either side has to much power, then the force is out of balance.
I don't think numbers actually matter. You could have 1 Jedi as powerfull as 10 sith , or 1 of each but equal power. The struggle is to bring the force back into balance. Anikan was said to do that. He did bc there was way more light than dark.
And when the dark takes to much power, the light will rise up. The empire was to much, in time the force was out of balance again. Luke then rose up to defeat the empire, bringing it back into balance.
It's the struggle to keep it in balance that makes the story great. It would not be as good if the struggle didn't exist.
@@dude8223 just stop the nonsense and watch what Lucas says on that
The jedi and sith are wrong
Didn’t realise that canon was actually better at killing off Jedi post-Order 66 than Legends
If you think about it, it makes sense. Everyone had a lot more independence in writing, and nobody knew how the Jedi were destroyed. Plus, canon is pretty new
K'Kruhk survived because he had the hat of legend.
Kid Fisto Survived too, fun fact
Shaak Ti has to have died four or five times at this point
52:33 How do we know if there are Jedi ?
You mean if *they* are Jedi? They were Jedi in the book in which they were introduced.
@@CoreysDatapad i mean how can you know if it is these 2 jedi from Brotherhood ? I read the issue and we never know if the 2 are the jedi and not just bounty Hunters.
Maybe they are other characters with the same name 🤷♂️
I think new cannon handled a lot of it well. Because why wouldn’t we see more Jedi in the original trilogy? Kanan sacrifices himself, Ezra and thrawn get sent to the unknown region, Ashoka is pulled out of space and time. Like it makes sense to me.
Uh no it doesn't? Ahsoka is just doing nothing during OT despite Rebellion having a hero who is also a Skywalker. And then there's Cal who is most likely is dead. And then there is Quinlan who is either going to die or he would settle somewhere like in Legends
After your video but if people are coming to this later: barris survived, with the goal of being trained as an inquisitor (fate tbd) per the tales of the empire series coming soon. And asaj ventress survived (not a Jedi but she at one time was in the order)
180+
What happened to only 2 survived and then juke being the new hope?
In Legends about 90 Jedi survived the Jedi Purge with about 110 of the other order 66 survivors later being killed during the 19 + years of the purge. Of those 90 survivors of the purge many of them turned to the dark side and joined the empire while many others let go of their past. Of those survivors who remained many of them such as Kkrukh and Tra Sha later joined Luke Skywalkers new Jedi Order. In Star Wars canon possibly as many as 45 Jedi survived well past the Jedi Purge even post Return Of The Jedi. This means that in total 135 Jedi survived the Jedi Purge both in legends and in canon which is still just 1 percent of the Jedi Order meaning that the empire was almost completely successful in wiping out the Jedi killing 99% of Jedi either during order 66 or during the Jedi Purge.
Because 2 surviving out of 10000 dosnt make sense
It’s known that several hundred Jedi escaped or survived order 66. Now at most that’s prob around 400. Which means order 66 had a 96% success rate which is excellent. However baby’s on the internet can’t do math. So I’ll help u out. In the months that followed the purge, Jedi were hunted relentlessly. Just by reading the purge comics and the dark times, as well as reading some legends books. I found 70 plus Jedi being still alive by the time of just a few months after order 66. Many of them either were turned into dark side adepts or killed. In fact in 18bby Inquisitorius alone already had dozens of members. The empire prob killed or captured a good 60 to 70 percent of Jedi just in the first 4-8 months of the empire existing. So it’s not that ridiculous. I recon by Jedi survivor there were less then 100 Jedi left that were on the loose and not killed or captured. By ep 6 a few dozen.
As some commenters have said there are some hot and quite sexy Jedi survivors. They can make me fall to the Dark Side.
I sure worry a lot when it comes to the ones whose fates are never ultimately resolved. Ambiguity is one thing, but loose ends are another, meaner thing altogether.
Isn't Dass Jennir pronounced "jen-neer"? Same with Jax Pavan being "pah-van"?
Bit of a shame you didn't mention the fact that Zonder is the apprentice of Barriss Offee, who stayed loyal to the Jedi Order in Legends.
Not sure on Shaak Ti (considering the increasingly dubious state of The Force Unleashed being part of Legends), but I'm of the opinion that Even Piell's Coruscant Nights death is the Legends canon one, with the TCW 2008 death being of the Disney Canon Alt-universe.
Alas, I doubt Zao survived, considering that Sidirri is implied to have become a Dark Jedi in the Empire/Rebellion comics.
Believe me, you're lucky you didn't play Uprising.
Barriss is a really interesting case, because technically speaking, clone wars, season 1-6, is part of both legends and canon, but season seven is specifically part of canon. So Barriss’ fall is a legends retcon that was canonized.
@@comandantegorrion7271 Apocryphal information, that, so it really shouldn't count and thus Abel Peña's and the Wookieepedia editors' strange whimsies need to be put into huge question.
Well they did say 10% of the order survived and by the Battle of Yavin about 70 members survived
That means 1.000 Jedi innitally survived order 66 although most of them were eventually tracked down and killed by the empire.
@@jfournerat1274 Yeah. And maybe one could make the argument that it doesn't include Jedi and/or Jedi sects that the main order excommunicated or the simple fact that some survivors never were involved with the war such as Ikrit due to being in a hibernation trance waiting for the right force sensitive children on Yavin to free the souls of the Massassi children or Ood Bnar due to him being in hibernation ever since the devastation of Ossus during the Great Sith War 4000 years prior to Yavin
I made it to the end
I fully understand Lucas not having a long-term vision of Star Wars when creating and releasing a New Hope. He had no clue how massive it would become and grow. But you'd think after half a century, they would've learned that killing off swathes of people or characters, would put them in a bind. Like killing off Boba Fett. It was a surprise how a guy with minimal screen time and lines, became so popular, and through some crafty writing in the expanded universe, he was able to reappear. Same with a favorite like Maul. They decided to wipe out the entire Jedi Order, then find themselves without material or how to explain certain things, so they've quietly retconned or tweaked the event. Just stop murdering off characters. You'll have continuity and subjects to work with.
There are so many people who survived order 66 in the legends timeline
People bitching Ahsoka surviving
When according to George Lucas
100 people survived order 66 in his sequels is so funny.
The CGI clone wars was originally meant to be canon to Legends (which it wasn't and is single handedly responsible for more then half of Legends retcons) which kind of implied her death.... Canon straight up pulled a time travel bs crap that you just know is focused on a creator pet.
Yes He did that to show how special she is to the overall star wars universe.
who caares ... 1000000s of edu surive
some one has to admit they are racist and hate Ahsoka. No Jedi not light sider
would have such a hard on for death of such a nice character @@Xo-3130
No falto f de star wars visions
Find it funny people say to many survive order 66....yet this video shows that is not true. Yes the start had many survive. But after that Vader killed a lot of them.
Shame gorgu didn't go with yoda
Proof that the Rebels lie about my benevolent rule. Proof that no Jedi truly died under the alleged ‘Order 66’.
If l truly wanted the Jedi exterminated, I’d have executed Order 67 and had the Grand Funk Army drop the Beat Star on their temple!
ngl all these rpg ones are silly
Yeah, I get that they exist to flesh out the rpg setting, but I was astounded of how much there were lol
Incredibly long video? In my opinion, this video is not long enough.
Anakin brought balance to the force by killing off the Jedi. Once he did, there where 2 sith and 2 Jedi. The rest need to be dead. Unless you create more Sith.
That's not how The Force and it's balance works
I assume the reason that nine of the other Jedi helped train Luke is because none of them wanted to deal with a second, younger Anakin after how he acted in the clone wars
First jedi purge was more successful
it somewhat seems that many of the Order 66 Survivors get the Red Shirt Threatment: the only reason the show up to show how dangerous the situation is or as in this case, how badass Darth Vader is and i don't know how good it is that the Reader should root for a genocidal Mass Murder fueled by PTSD
Don’t get why people hate order 66 survivors. You really think that o66 was 100% effective 😂. Canon sucks btw
There are so many survivors that I'm honestly starting to suspect that Order 66 never happened
I mean there were 10,000 jedi knights pre order-66. That doesn't include padawans or younglings. So 180 survivors out of even 10,000 (actual number is probably much higher) is still a survival rate of around 1%, a cull that successfully wipes out nearly 99% of something is pretty successful if you ask me.
@@ItsAv3rageGamer the 10.000 jedi "knights" estimate leads to me suspect additional thousands of Padawans, thousands of younglings, hundreds of jedi master, and thousands if not tens of thousands of agricultural corp jedi.
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 Exactly, and most of the survivors of order 66 were younglings or padawans, because the more senior Jedi gave their lives to protect them. There probably weren't hundreds of masters though, weren't the only masters the ones who sat on the council, and 3 of them were killed by Palpatine before order 66 actually happened.
@@ItsAv3rageGamer those were jedi council members.
All council members are masters. Not all masters are council members. This was confirmed in games and books taken place between Revan's time basically and his resurrected self.

Not sure how contentious this opinion may be but instead of legends and canon maybe legacy and current? Lets be real, legacy had the most tender love and care put into it. Current is a product of pure profit driven obligations, get it out get it done material.
Ah order 66....the jedi holocust....a holocust sooooo successfull that so many jedi survived....jedi that could have taught luke....jedi who could have fought the empire...jedi who werent mentioned surviving in the real star wars lore from the EU and Legends. Hmmmm i mean there kyle kartan....but if 180 jedi survived order 66 why did none who survived the next 24 years try to help luke restart the jedi order? You telling me ashoke didn't try to help luke restart the order? Or those two jedi women th blue twi'lek who ate 500 blaster bolts to the back and died in episode 3 but who survived order 66 (FFS!) didn't try to help luke? Or the red skinned woman who's the same species as ashoke. Her fighter got shot down and blew up but she lived...some how...she didn't? It's almost like order 66 didn't happen at this point or not as bad as it was made out to be otherwise it's not like in the REAL lore luke spent years and years hunting for any scrap of info on how to train jedi because the Empire wipe the all out along with as much teachings as they could. Naaaw.
Frankly at this point I wonder if th jedi holocust even happened. Like...the fuck. Lol kinda makes me question alot.
1. The vast majority of the survivors, especially ones who live until Luke is active, are actually from Legends and not Canon. Canon has tended to kill off most of its Survivors before Yavin. Legends has many of them join Luke's order at some indeterminate point, and his order is even run by some of them after his death (characters who weren't around in any of the stories of him building the order, like K'kruhk and Tr'a Saa)
2. I don't know where you're getting the idea that Aayla Secura survived. She didn't. The twi'lek in the thumbnail is not her, it's a different (Legends) character.
3. In Book of Boba Fett we see Ahsoka with Luke on Ossus, so yes actually, she was in contact with him.
4. I have no idea who you're referring to with a red skinned woman being shot down. I think you're conflating both Plo Koon and Shaak Ti, both of whom die in Legends and Canon, but in Legends Shaak Ti actually lives until after Luke is active.
wtf is this comment
First and foremost is that Order 66 is the START of the Jedi purge and a lot of survivors would still end up getting hunted down eventually. Aside from that, you got to keep in mind how big a galaxy is. The idea that Luke is literally the last Jedi alive is rather unbelievable when you start thinking scale. How many are just soo off the grid right now they don't even know there's even been a rebellion, much less another Jedi hero kicking as? How many don't think Luke Skywalker is really a Jedi considering he's a Skywalker, meaning he might be an apprentice to Vader? How many survivors looked at the Jedi Order and think there's no point in brining back the Jedi given how they turned out?
If only 180 hundred survived most would never meet or know who Luke is. The galaxy is huge, they would have a low chance to find or know where he is. While some would have fallen into the Dark side and joined the empire to become an inquisitor.
Are you like.. okay?
Regarding Valara Saar: I'd never heard of her before, but she looks *a lot* like this person Mnggal-Mnggal is about to strike in this image:
static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/6/63/Mnggal-Mnggal_Host-TUR.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100511112101
So it's possible she's implied to be dead?
I argue that the purge only ended when Palpatine died because he ordered all the jedi dead with order 66 and they were not all dead.
