His disciple was on a Star Destroyer called Tribunal with Captain Rex, a clone trooper. However, she felt that something is wrong with her master.

However, they were surrounded by clones who saw them as targets, they managed to get to the control room only to learn that the Star Destroyer is on collision course. They fought their way out grabbing a Y-wing and barely escaping. However, after the Tribunal crashed, they returned to fake their death by leaving her lightsaber.

What Was Order 66?
Order 66 or Clone Protocol 66 was a secret order created by Emperor Palpatine, the protocol was carried out so that the Jedis spread all over the galaxy can be exterminated. The order identified all Jedis as traitors to the Galactic Republic, and the punishment was execution on sight by the Grand Army of the Republic. However, it was a Sith agenda by Palpatine that was executed with near perfection, as it wiped out a majority of the Jedis across the galaxy.
The order was carried out by clone troopers, they were ordered to kill the Jedis and they ended up slaughtering the Jedis in this tragic event, almost making the Jedi Order extinct. However, characters like Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi survived the slaughter, but they can not do anything because the Galactic Empire took reign, and Jedi are still seen as traitors. Hence, they were forced to go into hiding.
