Star Wars Canon Has Completely Misunderstood The Fall Of The Jedi

The destruction of the Jedi Order is the centerpiece of Star Wars Canon, however, recent projects seem to have misunderstood George Lucas’ original concept. The fall of the Jedi—or Order 66—was the culmination of decades of careful planning by Sheev Palpatine. The betrayal of Anakin Skywalker and the clone army effectively wiped the Jedi religion from the galaxy. But despite Palpatine’s genius plan, the Jedi had been waning in power on their own. In Attack of the Clones, Mace Windu suggests telling the Senate that the Jedi Order’s power had diminished from what it once was.
