The infamous Order 66 has a predecessor contingency order in Star Wars Legends that might have allowed the Jedi to defeat Palpatine.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The sinister masterstroke of Palpatine’s plot to wipe out the Jedi in the Star Wars prequels was Order 66, but its Legends-era predecessor could have been used against him. In the Star Wars Legends continuity, Order 66 was one of 150 known contingency orders, whereas the canon continuity’s version is a secret directive.
The Grand Army of the Republic’s 150 contingency orders were publicly known in the Legends continuity, with Republic politicians having the power to invoke and execute certain contingencies. Since the Jedi Knights themselves are part of the GAR command structure , it is safe to assume that they too had access to the 150 contingency orders.
Why Wasn't Order 65 Ever Used Against Palpatine? Of course, Palpatine would have accounted for Order 65. The most obvious reason why Mace Windu and the rest of the Jedi immediately tried to arrest Palpatine, rather than enact Order 65, was likely because they lacked confidence that the Senate would declare Palpatine unfit in the first place.
Another possibility is that Palpatine had the clone troopers indoctrinated to not follow Order 65 in the event that it is executed. Legends-era clone troopers possess free will and are generally good-natured like their canon counterparts, but they too are brainwashed to follow Order 66 .
