[StarWars]How was Order 66 such a blistering success?

Hey guys, this is my first post here so please comment what I'm doing wrong before you downvote. I'll try fixing anything asap.

So as most know, the Jedi lose the majority of their numbers to Order 66. My question is, in the scenes where the clones turn on their generals, how were they able to kill the Jedi without any resistance? Are the Jedi not able to sense a disturbance in the force or even forsee the near future? Doesnt the force aid them in deflecting the blaster bolts? I know that they would have been taking fire from both sides, but in that scenario, they could have used the force for defensive purposes and too escape. Also, a lot of the ones killed were completely battle-hardened and competent warriors like Plo Koon and Aayla Secura.

Firstly, the Jedi as a whole were pretty much unable to foresee the future due to years of Palpatine's influence clouding their minds, so they couldn't have been able to sense the impending danger in the month, weeks, days, or hours before the order was given.

Secondly, the Jedi's numbers had been dwindling since the beginning of the war. Thousands had died in the war, exacerbating the already dwindling numbers in the years preceding the war.  This meant that most remaining Jedi were either imbedded in Republic Army units or in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, making them very easy to find and kill.

Thirdly, the clones that would have been closest to Jedi generals and commanders in the field would either be their subordinate Clone Commanders (who were the first to receive the order) or crack troops (if the Jedi was leading a mission personally).  They're some of the best soldiers the galaxy had ever seen: cloned from the greatest bounty hunter, trained by its greatest warriors, given state of the art equipment and near infinite resources, a few of them are a tough match even for combat proficient Jedi. Additionally, the clones carried out Order 66 without malice or hate, something the Jedi would have clued into through the Force to give them more warning. The clones were just following orders.

Ultimately it worked so well because Palpatine designed it to.  It was just the last pin in a very very long plan that knocked the Jedi down closer and closer to extinction with every move he made.
