When a team turns against their leader, who is right, to incur favor with someone higher in the command chain. This references "Order
Sixty-Six" in Star Wars:
Revenge of the Sith, when the
emporer issues the order for the soldiers to turn against the Jedi.
Example:
Even though
Vince had come up with a better
proposal, the rest of the team
Order 66ed him when the director disagreed. Now we're stuck using the directors plan.

This command was given by the
Galactic Republic's Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to the Galactic Republic's Clone Troopers in Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Order 66 indicated that the Jedis have betrayed the
Galactic Republic and therefore the enemies of the Galactic Republic, the Jedis who are now traitors of the Galactic Republic are later on immediately killed by the Clone Troopers on sight.
The number 6 is probably a reference to classic
hexagram, which is something used to put a curse on someone, sort of like the targeting reticle of a gunner.

Quite possibly the greatest words ever said in a movie, "Order 66." Order 66 is the murder of all remaining Jedi placed by
Emperor Palpatine. Watching one
Jdi after another get slaughtered is one of the most fulfilling things I've ever seen. Bow down to your
Dark Lord you weakling.
