Star Wars has received backlash for having too many Order 66 survivors, but George Lucas' original plan reveals that he would've made it worse.
Star Wars canon has received some criticism for having too many Order 66 survivors, but George Lucas would've made it worse had he kept telling new stories. The latest controversy arose after the premiere of The Mandalorian season 3, episode 4 "Chapter 20: The Foundling," when Ahmed Best returned to play Jedi Master Kelleran Beq. While many fans praised Best's return, others saw it as one more name on a growing list of Order 66 survivors.

Even though these characters have become fan favorites, it's hard to justify why they aren't around during some of the saga's most pivotal moments.
However, there are several ways to explain these questions, even in Lucas' version with more Order 66 survivors. Even with Yoda's ability to see across the galaxy through the Force, there's no way he could've known about every single Jedi, meaning Luke was simply the last living Jedi that he knew about. The galaxy is a big place, and the Jedi were forced to hide from the Empire, so they could've been anywhere while the Rebel Alliance was also in hiding.
Order 66 Was Still A Success For The Sith Even with Lucas' 100 Jedi survivors, Order 66 was still a big win for the Sith. In Disney's Star Wars canon, there were approximately 10,000 Jedi Knights before the purge, so Lucas' Order 66 survivors would account for only one percent of that. However, Lucas envisioned even more Jedi during the prequel trilogy, saying that "...out of 100,000 Jedi, maybe 50 or 100 are left.
Having that many Jedi in the sequel trilogy would also have been a great story opportunity for Luke. Many of the Jedi would certainly hesitate to work with the son of the man who helped destroy the Order, and Luke could hear firsthand accounts of how horrible the purge was throughout the decades. Lucas would also have had Luke recruiting children, like the Jedi of old, so there could be a debate on the right way to restore the Jedi Order.
