I was the same on the former point, it was on a whim that I tried repairing, but I did respect the latter decision. Order 66 should not be easy to execute, you're killing goddamned Jedi. It's an effective climax to the first chapter of the game though clumsily handled. Would've been much nicer if we'd had access to the Dark Trooper though, or if allied AI were worth a drat in fighting Jedi.
The allied AI are actually quite useful in fighting Jedi in my opinion. The Jedi can only block shots when in a specific pose which costs them stamina while they're in it. Watch the Jedi closely, maybe shoot them once to put them in that pose, then back away and let the AI troops lemming it. When the Jedi drops the block animation, go for the kill. Granted, this doesn't make the AI all that great against Jedi when they aren't near you, but as long as they're not hemorrhaging tickets my only concern is what's happening involving the objectives (E.G. what I'm doing).

The clones had an advantage when killing the Jedi because their minds were different from other sentient beings so the Jedi couldn't sense their intentions.
That bit of canon is so dumb. Just leave it as the Jedi being outnumbered hundreds to one, alone against them with no way out, and completely flat footed because they trusted the clones. Otherwise, how the hell did they fight droids? The Jedis' reflexes should be to put the clones inside their circle of defense when the danger sense lights up and the shooting starts, except this once it was the wrong move. Or they were just shocked. Or whatever. There are a lot of reasons why a person wouldn't respond with robotic precision to sudden violence from a heretofore completely trustworthy source.

 I don't recall clones ever being used except by the bad guys in the New Republic era EU, but the bits of information about the Clone Wars only made sense if everyone had been using them. The Katana Fleet was Republic-affiliated but manned by clones, for instance, while there was mention of the Jedi also fighting against clones. I figured that the wars kicked off with everyone throwing endless disposable manpower around since the theoreticians thought that they had everything all figured out until the clones all went mad (would've turned out cloning at scale was different than whatever trial runs they did), then the galaxy's militaries re-unified in the face of having to put their armed forces to the torch. The Empire's initial dissent squashing would've been the military forces, lead by Palpatine, being sick of all the carnage after everything went insane. Or something. The Jedi Order getting eliminated was always a question mark in that theory.
