For some one rooting for Star Wars you seem to be missing some key lore points. Extra galactic life meaning life from outside of the Galaxy isn't directly affected by the force if you've never read the Yuzan Vong story arch you should. Being from another galaxy they are on a different 'frequency' to those of the Star Wars universe (I.e life in their Galaxy wasn't created nor does it contains midiclorians they basically exist outside of the force) Hence why force abilities have no direct effect force push/pull lighting choke hell even battle meditation doesn't work with them. The only way to hurt them via the force was to use the force to pick up say a boulder and squash them with it. Basically making the Jedi and Soth nothing more then excellent saber fighters. Which is still true Except knights have plasma swords which are basically the same thing. As for the clones true the process got refined and became quicker but nowhere near insta clones they still took weeks to mature while Knights and other forerunner armies are grown overnight.
