This episode delves into the expanding lore of one of the cornerstone events in Star Wars lore: that of Order 66, where the Grand Army of the Republic turned on the Jedi Order in the closing days of The Clone Wars and leading into the Rise of the Empire. The hosts first explore the Rashomon-like collection of media that depicts the events of Order 66, and then examine Order 66 itself as a lynchpin event in the lore itself - where all future stories can be divided into “Before Order 66” and “After Order 66.” This episode also delves into the nature of an evolving event in a shared canon, where new facets are revealed and can server as either an expansion upon, or a soft recon of (depending on your view) previous media that depicted the same occasion. 

This episode mentions content from, and may contain spoilers for: Episodes 1 through 9, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (2005, Legends), Kanan Jarrus (comic), Fallen Order, The Bad Batch Season 1, The Mandalorian, Kenobi, Tales of the Jedi, The Clone Wars, Rebels, Tales of the Empire, The Rise of the Red Blade, Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith (2017 comic), The Alphabet Squadron trilogy, Andor, and Dooku: Jedi Lost.
