[Star Wars] How would Order 66 have gone if Palpatine failed to turn Anakin to the Dark Side?

Organizations change, especially over the scale of millenia. It's the word of three assassins, two of which were members of the Jedi council and the other a personal liason between the Chancellor and the council, who succeeded in killing him where four other members of the Jedi council had tried and failed. Half the Jedi council committing treason by trying and succeeding to kill the High Chancellor certainly gives credence to the late Chancellor's claim that the Jedi were planning to commit treason.

In addition Palpatine wasn't just pulling the strings using the force, he was a genuinely charismatic and popular politician. That would mean that he would undoubtedly still have had support, especially after the thing he warned against happening came true.
