Not really, after all, eventually they all died, so at least Dooku died as the man he lived as.
Agreed, he's also the only character to NOT scream like a pansy when his hands were cut off or milk it....Mace I'm looking at you here...
There's the rub: per Palpatine's design, there was no mechanism by which Order 66 could be rescinded. Even if a group of pro-Jedi Senators did succeed in seizing control, they would have to either rescind the order (impossible) or disband the GAR (practically impossible and inadvisable given that the CIS was still capable of causing trouble). We can perhaps take the moral high road in which the GAR disbands, the remaining Confederates are allowed to secede in peace, and the Jedi can come out of hiding, albeit very unpopular and minus the Temple. But then...
why do u hate america? if it were not for us u guys would be lost. i mean we invented the tv, we invented the internet, cars and we even went to the planet moon. we won all the wars and we always help the little countries who cant fight and we give food to poor people.
It really depends on what's in the other 145 Orders that we don't have any information on. Bearing in mind the obvious attention paid to the use and transfer of power it seems logical that there might be some subsection giving an interim Chancellor the authority to rescind or reverse actions taken by the previous post-holder. There's also the possibility that the Jedi Council may have had some level of authority or influence around declaring the Chancellor unfit for duty or identifying him as a traitor and any related Orders/protocols.If Yoda had succeeded in defeating Palpatine in the Senate Chamber and could provide evidence that Palpatine had been a threat/traitor to the Republic then you might have a temporary deadlock. Order 4 would have taken effect transferring control of the GAR to Mas Amedda in his role as Vice Chair of the Senate, but you'd have two conflicting messages - the Jedi are traitors and have assassinated the Chancellor, but the Jedi were acting on information that the Chancellor was a Sith Lord and his orchestration of both sides of the war made him a traitor to the Republic.Although Amedda was obviously aligned with Palpatine did he have sufficient support, charisma and ambition to try and continue implementing Palpatine's plan? Could he have been pressured into rescinding Order 66 pending a full investigation? With Vader off killing the Separatist leaders on Mustafar and shutting down the droid armies the war would also come to a sudden and unexpected end generating even more confusion in the Senate.

The Jedi could still be in equally bad situation even with Sidious dead. Look at it this way: First the Jedi led by Mace Windu try to seize power and assassinate the good chancellor Palpatine but fail, only for Master Yoda to brutally murder him, in the Senate of all places, just days later. Then the public would learn that the heroic Anakin Skywalker single-handedly ended the war on Mustafar, only to end up dead himself together with his pregnant wife by the hand of the traitor General Kenobi. That's some seriously bad PR for the Jedi Order.
We are missing the true issue here...why are there no HUTT clone troopers? I blame speciesism. Resistant to Force and energy weapons, long lived and adaptable and cclearly intelligent. I want to see a GAR of Hutt clone troopers in a what if scenario!
Heh, that would be impressive.Unless for some reason, they suffer the same reason why a Yinchorri, no matter how much Darth Plagueis tried, Clone Army doesn't fly...It just won't happen to their DNA or some excuse like that...Or you could argue the force is being rather pissy and screws any attempts for species other than humans to be cloned.
