I’d also add that the way the Jedi never looked into the whole “Clone army” thing enough AND just took over and went with it shows them to also be completely naive and lacking any kind of simple awareness. There’s not alot of cause to feel sad for what happens to them in ROTS. They were too incompetent to be the authority of the entire Galaxy.
It comes off like it was necessary for them to be dethroned and I’m sure that’s not want Lucas initially intended. 🤷♂️
