What series is stuffed with more iconic moments than Star Wars? From Qui-Gon Jin’s defeat to Luke blowing up the Death Star, Star Wars is full of classic scenes ranging from tragic to triumphant. One of the prequel trilogy’s most memorable sequences is when Emperor Palpatine orders the clone army to “execute Order 66” in Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. A montage then plays out showing clone commanders and their troops murdering several Jedi.
Order 66 and the Great Jedi Purge have been depicted in various Star Wars media, like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Bit Reactor’s beloved strategy game Star Wars Zero Company has its own huge Order 66 moment.
Polygon recently spoke with several Zero Company cast members — Jonathan Freeman (male Hawks), Dee Bradley Baker (Trick), and Vic Michaelis (Runa) — about their reactions to that Order 66 moment. We also chatted with creative director Greg Foertsch about how Bit Reactor brought Order 66 to life.
“A lot happens across the galaxy in a snap,” Baker said. “It's a dramatically really interesting moment in Star Wars.”
Just when you think your team of misfits is ready to undertake their final mission, Palpatine issues Order 66, leading clone trooper Trick to turn on his allies, including a Jedi Padawan, Tel-Rea . Republic intelligence officer Bennic also tries to arrest Zero Company, further adding to the betrayal. Fans have experienced Order 66 and the Great Jedi Purge across various mediums and Star Wars stories, but Zero Company does something different.
