How these Jedi, Sith survived the clones’ betrayal
Clone Protocol 66, or Order 66, was an order programmed into the clone troopers who made up the majority of the Grand Army of the Republic which identified all members of the Jedi Order as traitors to the Republic and sentenced them to execution.
The execution of the order, also known as the Great Jedi Purge, wiped out the majority of the Jedi and after the order the Jedi were hunted by the Galactic Empire under the command of Emperor Sheev Palptaine, who is the Sith Lord Darth Sidious.
However, multiple Jedi or Force users were able to survive the Purge. Here is a list of the characters who survived or have not yet been confirmed to have been executed according to “Star Wars” canon.
Spoilers ahead for multiple different works a part of the “Star Wars” canon, including the live-action films, animated series “The Clone Wars” and “Rebels” and the canon video game “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.”
Presumed/Unconfirmed Survivors
Quinlan Vos
Jedi Master Quinlan Vos was presumed to be alive after the Purge and was a priority target for the Inquisitors. It has not been shown what happened to him yet.

Jedi Master Eno Cordova was once Cere Junda’s master. It is currently unknown if he lived after Order 66, and it is unknown when he dies, as his first appearance in the video game “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order” doesn’t indicate what actually happened to him, though he is presumed to be dead.

It is currently unknown exactly how Grogu survived Order 66, but Ahsoka Tano confirmed that he was taken and hidden from the Empire by someone.
The Inquisitors
Many of the Inquisitors were Jedi or Padawans who survived Order 66 but were captured and then tortured and until they were under the control of the Empire to become Jedi hunters. Some members of the Inquisitorius include:
First appearing in“Star Wars: Rebels,” The Grand Inquisitor served as a member of the Jedi Order, he was formerly a Jedi Temple Guard. He was one of the guards seen at Ahsoka Tano’s trial before Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. The trial, in which Tano was framed, led to the future Grand Inquisitor losing faith in the Jedi. Palpatine then turned him to the dark side, and he later became the leader of the Inquisitors.
The Second Sister, Trilla Suduri, trained as a Jedi during the Clone Wars under Jedi Knight Cere Junda. She and Junda managed to hide during Order 66, but Junda was later captured and then tortured into giving up Suduri’s location. Suduri was turned to the dark side and became an Inquisitor, first appearing in “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.”
The Tenth Brother, formerly known as Prosset Dibs, was a member of the Jedi Order and held the rank of Jedi Master. He was later turned into an Inquisitor. Though he survived the Great Jedi Purge, he still was executed due to Order 66 as when he was hunting a Jedi with Darth Vader, Padawan Fenn Barr convinced the Purge Troopers with them to execute Order 66 on the fallen Jedi, killing the Tenth Brother.
Technically, the Tenth Brother died because of Order 66, but he survived the initial Purge, so he is included on this list with a caveat.
It is unknown exactly how many Inquisitors there were, but there were as many as 12.
