Star Wars Zero Company’s Cast Talks about that Huge Order 66 Moment
Star Wars: Zero Company features an Order 66 sequence in which players must control clone trooper Trick as he turns on his allies. The scene makes the franchise’s galaxy-wide betrayal personal by placing players in control of an attack on members of their own squad.
Developer Bit Reactor wanted the moment to connect the game’s Clone Wars setting with the Empire’s rise, while giving players time to care about Trick and Jedi Padawan Tel-Rea beforehand. Creative director Greg Foertsch said Trick’s established bond with protagonist Hawks helps make the betrayal resonate; actor Dee Bradley Baker described Order 66 as “the heartbreak of the clones”.
In short
- Players control Trick during Order 66.
- The attack forces him to turn on his squad.
- Bit Reactor built up his bond with Hawks beforehand.
Explained simply
The Clone Wars were fought between the Galactic Republic and the Separatists, with clone troopers serving as the Republic’s soldiers. Order 66 was a command that made the clones turn against the Jedi, the peacekeepers who had fought alongside them. It helped bring about the end of the Republic and the rise of the Empire.
Star Wars: Zero Company is a game set during this conflict. Its story follows a squad led by Hawks, alongside characters including the clone trooper Trick and Jedi Padawan Tel-Rea. Their relationships provide context for the game’s portrayal of the war and its consequences.
