What kind of casualties did the Jedi Order face in the Clone Wars before Order 66?

 * I highly recommend the Star_Wars:_Clone_Wars_(2003_TV_series), available here on YouTube . It was created by the people who did Samurai Jack, and has a much better than the other tellings of that story, IMO. Anyway, there are rather few Jedi deaths in that series, though there are rather few Jedi. I always understood it to be that there were just too few Jedi, not that their death rate was that high in CW battles. Quite the opposite, we Mace Windu and other take down whole regiments of bots while suffering nary a scratch. SemanticMantis (talk) 16:06, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Part of the problem with these stories (of ANY part of the canon) is that they only follow a tiny subset of people in the galaxy. There are 1 trillion people on Coruscant alone, according to official canon; there's likely quadrillions of people in the civilized galaxy, so it would not be impossible to consider that there were 1,000,000 Jedi among that population, at least at the height of their strength.  1,000,000 out of 1,000,000,000,000,000 is still only one in a billion.  One really needs to get into the numbers here to get a sense of how many people we're talking about.  -- Jayron  32  17:47, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's kind of what I was getting at, that Jedi were a relatively small group even at their peak. Anyway, I recommend the Wookieepedia for anyone who wants detailed numbers on anything Star Wars related. Unfortunately their page on Jedi Census phenomenon is not about the number of Jedi in the SW universe . SemanticMantis (talk) 19:58, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
