Many Star Wars viewers complain there are too many Order 66 survivors – but Palpatine would have wanted some Jedi to still be alive. Even George Lucas never really saw Order 66 as the extinction of the Jedi Order.

That's still a remarkable success, given it would still have been less than 0.1 percent of the Jedi Order.
