Order 66 was the order Chancellor Palpatine gave the Grand Army of the Republic in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It was one of several contingency orders given to the Clone Troopers, which they were trained to follow without question in case of an emergency.
One of the darkest events in the Star Wars canon, Order 66 was a massively pivotal moment that changed the entire course of galactic history. Also known as the Jedi Purge, Order 66 marked the tragic end of the Clone Wars while also laying the groundwork for Star Wars' original trilogy. isDGlq. 3451393135945163190132159
