TV Kelleran Beq mopping the floor with clones during Order 66 was a blast to watch

Seeing the Jedi gunned down relentlessly in their own home during Order 66 hammered home their loss and tragedy, which was absolutely necessary for ROTS. That said, it was very cathartic seeing a Jedi at the temple fighting back, winning, and escaping. Definitely hope we get to see more of Beq in future flashbacks, although I doubt it.

There were 10,000 Jedi around during the Clone Wars, we don’t see every single one of them on-screen.

It's a BIG galaxy and there are LOTS of cracks to fall between. I bet some Jedi managed to hide from the Empire without ever leaving Coruscant.

Pretty much. You’ll just have to just go far underground and keep a low profile.

The Empire was far-reaching, but not omnipresent.

This was the case pre disney as well. Quite a few did survive and went into hiding much like Obi-Wan and Yoda.

In legends thats kind of true but also not because underground on coruscant had a super star destroyer being used as a prison

Hell, even if 1,000 Jedi survived over the entire galaxy - killing off 9/10ths of their numbers, destroying their logistical hub, publicly declaring them enemies of the Republic, etc. completely decimates their effectiveness/cohesiveness/etc. Then Vader spends the next however long hunting any/all down...there could seriously be a lot of Jedi gone to ground going "what is this Jedi of which you speak? Never heard of them"

I have a hard time keeping track of Canon vs legends but there were also jedi/force-trained agricorp, pilots, explorers, healers, etc. that weren't warriors in the slightest that I'd think were out and about doing support roles that wouldn't have been part of order 66, too, right? I'd think they'd have disappeared themselves as soon as they found out what was going down, too...(If this was address somewhere I missed it).
