I'd theorize that, especially for the Master Jedi, Palpatine issued the orders to EACH clone commander individually and personally. He gives a specific individual order to the clones that are with Yoda, Secura, Mundi, and Koon. Which, if you notice, he specifically orders Commander Cody to eliminate Obi-Wan. Just whichever one the Supreme Chancellor orders eliminated. As noted, it does not order ALL Jedi to be killed. I doubt they gave it more than a passing thought. All 150 orders would have been presented to the Senate and passed. Why didn't the Jedi know about Order 66? They did. So, it's no surprise the orders would be committed to memory just as ingrained as anything, just as natural as eating or walking. After being released, about age 5, I think, they do nothing but train. From before being released from the stasis/cloning chamber they are being implanted with memory. Considering the clones learned a lot of their information by flash memory programming, it's very likely all 150 were 'burned in' just as many combat tactics would have been. So, until it was given, Jedi wouldn't have sensed any danger from their clone troopers/commanders (Jedi aren't exactly mind readers). Sufficiently buried among the other one hundred forty-nine orders so as to almost escape notice, Contingency Order 66 specifically dealt with the effect on the chain of command were issues to arise involving the Jedi.ДЄs far as Jedi sensing it - most troopers weren't exactly briefed on the significance of that precise order - just brainwashed to follow ANY order. In particular, Order 65 dealt with the detainment and possible execution of the Supreme Chancellor by the Republic, further hiding the true intention of Order 66. Many dealt with contingencies specifically involving the GAR Supreme Commander - in this case, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine - and the effect on the chain of command were he ever to become incapacitated or declared unfit to issue orders. Some of these orders concerned contingencies any armed force could conceivably face.

Order 66 could be found in the document entitled Contingency Orders for the Grand Army of the Republic: Order Initiation, Orders 1 through 150, GAR Document CO(CL) 56-95, a document containing a series of special contingency orders that covered any and all emergency situations, which the clones that comprised the GAR were prepared to execute, immediately and without question, and only in specific cases of extreme necessity. Jedi weren't exactly lawyers - they were too busy fighting a war. It was fairly well hidden in the bureaucratic mumbo jumbo. It seems to me, in practice, the rule does say 'kill all Jedi' (maybe the books clarify this?) We see the clone commanders receiving a message to 'execute Order 66', then try to kill all Jedi on sight, without checking whether they are traitors. It should also be clear from the movies as noted by in the Judging just from the movies, didn't the clones try to get rid of all the Jedi? I don't see any procedure to get rid of just the so-called 'traitor' Jedi. You don't really need a new command structure if only a few Jedi get killed (which used to happen a lot). If you can interpret the bolded part well, it means 'all' Jedi were the targets. In the event of Jedi officers acting against the interests of the Republic, and after receiving specific orders verified as coming directly from the Supreme Commander (Chancellor), GAR commanders will remove those officers by lethal force, and command of the GAR will revert to the Supreme Commander (Chancellor) until a new command structure is established. I would like to counter this with the last information in the quote: It doesn't say 'remove all Jedi', it says 'remove those officers' (the ones committing treason). Plus, they were able to feel it from mind of clones.ДЄfter a recent answer saying the quoted text doesn't say that order 66 was meant for all Jedi, I decided to clarify this because a very old comment (by says the same thing:Д«ut you're misreading the rule. How is it possible? The Jedi were known to keep track of everything around them. So, I can assume that it wasn't known to the Jedi because if it was, they would have opposed it because its not a good rule (killing all because of one). of clones (that's why they were able to follow it).ДЄnd, there wasn't any known opposition against this rule.
