1450. Time bomb Order 66, the end of the Jedi Order. In the original plot, it was about 19bby a year later. At that time, the Galactic Republic was victorious in the war, the end of Separatism had come, and Chancellor Sheev Palpatine's control of power had reached a new height.
Therefore, the Jedi Order became increasingly wary of Palpatine, but Palpatine had already completed his preparations by this time, and he no longer concealed his identity.
After learning that Palpatine was the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Master Windu led the three masters of the Jedi Council, Kit Fisto, Sath-Tine and Akin Korra. Arrest Darth Sidious.
However, Darth Sidious's power at this moment exceeded all of their expectations, and the three Council Masters were killed almost instantly, leaving only Master Windu fighting with him.
After receiving the news, Anakin Skywalker quickly rushed to the Capitol, only to see Darth Sidious pretending to be killed by Master Windu.
Anakin had already been gradually moving towards the dark side because of his mother's death and his distrust of the Jedi Order. Now he believed that Darth Sidious could help him resurrect his mother, so he took action to stop it.
But Anakin lost his mind in anger and fear, and cut off Master Windu's hands with a sword. Then Master Windu was knocked down from the Capitol by Darth Sidious with Force lightning.
At this point, Anakin Skywalker completely fell to the dark side and became a disciple of Darth Sidious.
And because Sheev Palpatine finally caught the Jedi Order, he used the Jedi Order's attempt to murder the Chancellor as an excuse to declare the Jedi Order treason and activate Order 66.
Order 66 is one of the 150 emergency orders pre-implanted into the brains of clone soldiers. These orders include various extreme situations. For example, Order 67 is the way to deal with the Speaker's treason.
Order 66 corresponds to the treatment of the Jedi Order's treason. These instructions may be difficult for normal soldiers to accept and execute, so biochips are used to force them to execute them.
In fact, the Jedi Order also knew about these instructions and the existence of biochips. This was not a secret.
At that time, Master Seve Dias signed and agreed to the clone trooper project, and Master Shakti, who was later sent to the planet Kamino to supervise the production of clone troopers, knew about the biochip and these 150 instructions.
But the problem is that there is a subtle word play in the execution logic of Order 66. This word game did not exist when the sample was submitted to the Jedi Order. It only existed during actual production. The Jedi Order did not understand biotechnology and could not tell the difference when they saw the 150 instructions that actually formed the code. difference.
This word play is that if the other 149 instructions are to be executed, they must include the consent of the Chancellor, the Jedi Order, the Supreme Strategic Command, the Republic Intelligence Department, etc., or if they involve instructions from these departments, other instructions are also required. It will only be implemented if the departments jointly sign it.
As for Directive No. 66, the Speaker himself can directly order its execution, and then he only needs to inform other departments!
So at that time, Darth Sidious only needed to have a reason to support his judgment that the Jedi Order was treasonous, and then he could immediately execute Order 66.
According to this order, all clone soldiers will kill every Jedi Knight on the spot!
The result was that the Jedi warriors who were fighting on the front lines were shot from behind by their comrades who had been with them for three years without warning!
Except for a few outstanding Jedi Knights who escaped this disaster, a total of more than 10,000 Jedi Knights died under Order 66!
After clearing out the Jedi Order, Darth Sidious directly tore off the last disguise and announced that the Galactic Republic would be reorganized into the Galactic Empire, and he would become the Emperor of the Empire!
Of course, after Darth Malthael came here, it was impossible for him to let Darth Sidious complete the integration of his power so comfortably. After all preparations were complete, he would execute Order 66 to eliminate the Jedi Knights. Regiment, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
The result of this can only be that the next Galactic Empire will quickly integrate and complete the distribution of domestic power and interests, and quickly return to the path of war and power.
But from another perspective, Darth Malthael did not want the Jedi Order to survive Order 66.
The relationship between him and the Jedi Order is absolutely one of everlasting death. His mere existence cannot be allowed by the Jedi Order.
Therefore, the destruction of the Jedi Order became the only thing that still had a tacit understanding between him and Darth Sidious.
Therefore, Darth Malthael designed such a plan - more than ten years ago, he was sent by Darth Plagueis to kill Lorne Pawan, who might have leaked the plan for the Battle of Naboo. At that time, he left such an idea to hide the information obtained by Lorne Pawan in his robot i-5yq, and asked Super Lotus to hide this information very cleverly, so that Jax Pawan could not So easy to find out.
In this way, i-5yq becomes a time bomb for both Darth Sidious and the Jedi Order!
Once the information is discovered by Jax Pawan, he will definitely report it to Master Yoda, and the Jedi Order will definitely respond.
At the same time... Darth Sidious will naturally start to deal with the Jedi Order immediately. The result was that Darth Sidious was forced to take action against the Jedi Order without adequate preparation, and at this time the power in his hands had not yet been integrated, so he would naturally pay a huge price.
On the other hand, because of the existence of Order 66, the Jedi Order has a high probability of being wiped out by Darth Sidious, but there are definitely more surviving Jedi than Order 66 in the original plot!
In this way, his purpose was completely achieved. Now, after learning that Coruscant suddenly entered a state of lockdown, Darth Malthael immediately understood that the time bomb had finally detonated.
Now he just needs to sit back and watch the fight, but that doesn't mean he doesn't do anything. He needs to go to the planet Korriban to complete the dark ritual that he has not completed.
Darth Sidious has been keeping an eye on Korriban. He knew the dangers of letting Darth Malthael complete the ritual, so the last time Darth Malthael came to Korriban, he quickly Arriving, and with the help of Maca-Ragnos, they defeated Malthael.
Darth Malthael also knew from that time that if Darth Sidious kept staring at him, he would not be able to achieve his goal.
So, we have to wait until he has no time to care, and that time is now! !
