Did Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Just Prove Order 66 Failed?

Does Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Reveal Order 66 Failed?

Get ready, because the new Star Wars show, Skeleton Crew, might just turn what we thought we knew about Order 66 completely upside down!

Think of it like the Empire's ultimate plan to wipe out all the Jedi. That means Palpatine wanted the Jedi Order gone. No Jedi, ever! And this plan even involved killing any Force-sensitive beings - so no Jedi legacy at all.

It seemed like Order 66 went off without a hitch in the Skywalker Saga, as it ended up wiping out most of the Jedi. We saw Palpatine turn the Clone Army against the Jedi Order, and that put an end to the era of the Jedi. The Sith, led by Palpatine, ruled, but Order 66 had a plan even bigger than the original movies let on! It went beyond just killing Jedi.
Palpatine had a goal: he wanted to wipe out any thought of Jedi being around - to truly erase the Jedi. And it wasn't just a physical thing. The idea of being a Jedi had to be erased completely. But the trailer for Skeleton Crew reveals this didn't happen!

The Skeleton Crew is set in the galaxy long after the events of Order 66 - after Palpatine ruled the galaxy as the Emperor for many years! The story focuses on a bunch of kids stuck in space - kind of like the 'Lost Boys of Space'! These kids haven't even heard of Jedi. The thing is that they're in some place super remote and on a planet like our own. These kids on a planet in a random corner of the galaxy, they know all about the Jedi. They even call a character who can use the Force a "Jedi"! This shows the Empire wasn't successful in erasing the Jedi in all corners of the Star Wars universe.
That's right, Palpatine didn't quite erase the idea of the Jedi even from places far off the map! It seems the kids were somehow informed about the Force, the Jedi, and how things used to be. They're definitely the key to showing just how wrong Palpatine's plan really was!
What it really means: It looks like, in the new era, with shows like The Mandalorian and Ahsoka, the Empire never truly won its goal - they failed! They wiped out the Jedi Order, sure, but they didn't erase everything about the Jedi or its legacy!

Skeleton Crew is gonna give us a look at how the Empire actually treated the outer planets that had nothing to do with big galactic wars. It looks like these 'off-the-map' places have a completely different feel for how the Empire took over and made its presence felt. The show also looks like it will provide a fresh take on how the Empire controlled people and places so it'll be super exciting to watch this unfold in December!
Skeleton Crew, in this sense, looks at a bigger story: what if the Empire actually screwed up with Order 66! There's definitely a chance to re-write the rules we all thought we knew. Now, with the rise of new shows like this, what if there is more to the Star Wars canon that is not all about Skywalker family history or just what's in those big old films, like the original Star Wars films? Could there be new things happening?
