Just a quick video on an interesting real life scenario that happened in history that was very similar to Order 66, with soldiers being ordered to kill their own generals.
Let me know if you want other videos that compare real life events to star wars events.

Ever heard of the tragedy of darth Constantine the Great?
I thought not. It's not a story the other Star Wars channels would tell you.

Killing emperors in ancient Rome was common. Nero was one such example.

[vigilantesilver]

Brutus: The time has come, execute Order 66.
Ceasar: How come we have no knives at the dinner table?

[dudeinadoughboy]

“Constantine, my allegiance is to the Empire, to AUTOCRACY!”

[shatteredwindow]

Star Wars is history. The Lore Master is a historian.

[abelying]

Fun fact, the Romans actually established the first Galactic Senate!

[Shadowkey]

“Execute order 66.”
“Sir, I’m afraid I don’t know that one...”
“Execute order 66!”
“What’s order 66, sir?! And why are you speaking like you’re somebody’s ancient, withered great-grandfather?”
“*sigh* go kill my extended family.”
“Yes sir! Right away sir!”

[darthsidious]

In order to ensure the security and continuing stability, the Roman Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Roman Empire! For a safe and secure society.

Soldier: *recieves letter.


Letter: Execute order 66.


Soldier: *writes letter.


Letter: It will be done my Lord

The great enemy of Rome ... The Romans .
Like the old Sith empire

[paulusrafaelis]

"Commander Sextus, execute Order Julius Ceaser"
"Yes, My Imperator."

[oddlydense]

What about the Droid attack on the Wookies?

[grillo]

In my opinion, the fall of the Knights Templar is another historic event that matches with Order 66

Teacher: *Trying to teach a Confusing lesson*

Star wars: *Creates a more memorable version*

ST-Fandom: "Knowledge is unlimited P0WER!"

[brettmiller]

In 6th grade I told my history teacher that the Roman Empire reminded me of Star Wars and she told me that was stupid. My first year in College as a history major in Ancient Rome class on the opening slide of my professor’s power point is a picture of Palpatine

Update: people keep saying I copied this which I didn’t I could care less about YouTube likes. It’s extremely likely this has happened to people other than myself lol

Constantius: "Centurion Titus, Venit tempus adpropinquavit: exsecutioni mandare ordo LXVI."
Centurion Titus: "
Hoc autem fieri, Ave Imperator. "


Edit: I made this using google translator. If you can make a better version, THEN DO IT.

When I saw the title I thought” holy shit really”.

[interhistoria]

Roman Soldiers: *Betrays their Generals.*
Roman Generals: IT'S TREASON THEN
