7 Jedi who survived Order 66 - The Jedi Purge

Star Wars Black Series 6"
Anakin Skywaker was weak I destroyed him.
Then I will avenge his death!
Revenge is not the Jedi way.
I am no Jedi! 
Presenting 7 Jedi who survived Order 66.

Actually the list of survivors is higher than 7.. There were quite a few that survived the Empire's Jedi purge. Unfortunately there's also the sad tale of Jedi being turned by the Emperor against other Jedi (As was the case of the Verpine Jedi Master Beyghor Sahdett). We're including some of those who started out as Jedi and fell to the Dark Side..

The list we will be presenting is also by no means final. The writers from Star Wars have yet to finish the destinies of several individuals on this list. The Jedi Purge officially started in 19 BBY, and ended in 1 BBY. So the Jedi included in the Star Wars Rebel series might eventually not survive the purge after all.

Star Wars history is now so confusing thanks to the destruction of the Expanded Universe. Some of these characters actually now have two Wikipedia pages thanks to that. So please don't take any of what follows that seriously.

We decided to not to include Ezra Bridger because.. well... we really don't like that whinny brat.

Star Wars Vintage: Quinlan Vos

Presenting Jedi Master Quinlan Vos from the Star Wars Vintage Collection.

Jedi Master Quinlan Vos is one of the more interesting Jedi to come out of the fallen Republic. He's actually one of the few "Gray" Jedi - or Jedi that don't quite adhere strictly to the rulings of the Jedi Council and who prefer to follow their own path or to those Jedi that dance between the light and dark.   The so-called "Gray" Jedi include Jedi Masters Qui-Gon Jinn, Jolee Bindo, Jacen Solo and the Imperial Knights.

They're modern day Ronin - Master-less Samurai.

Jedi Master Quinlan Vos is most renown for having mastered Form VII of lightsaber combat   - also known as Vaapad - a style that required the use of both Dark and Light-side Force techniques; training Jedi Master Aayla Secura, and; for falling to the Darkside - but came back.

He's also one of the few - if not the only - Clone War era Jedi to use a blaster.
