Star Wars' Order 66 brought about the end of the Republic and Jedi Order, changing the fate of the galaxy far, far away forever in its aftermath.
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. Although it was first seen in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Order 66 has since been depicted from multiple narrative angles and different planets across various Star Wars projects.
Why The Clone Troopers Obeyed Order 66 Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith appeared to suggest the clones simply obeyed Order 66 of their own free will. Star Wars has retconned Order 66, however, stripping the clones of their agency by revealing the Kaminoans who created the clones had implanted behavioral modification biochips in the brains of every clone.
It's also important to note that many Jedi who might have survived the initial Jedi Purge with Order 66 were still hunted down and killed. This was largely carried out by Darth Vader and his Imperial Inquisitors, former Jedi seduced to the dark side by Palpatine. Order 66 and its aftermath resulted in thousands of Jedi deaths, eradicating all memory of the religion within a generation.
