While the clues were rather evident in the fact that the Clone Troopers' armour bore a pretty clear resemblance to the get-up sported by The Empire's eventual Stormtroopers, many of the Jedi tasked with attempting to protect the galaxy weren't to know that their apparent allies had a galaxy-altering dark secret.

But they soon found out that they'd all been living something of a tragic lie throughout the Clone Wars the minute Emperor Palpatine uttered the now infamous phrase of "Execute Order 66", with the many brothers-in-arms they'd been heading out into battle with quickly turning on their former generals and commanders without a second thought.

Now sure, it was hardly their fault, with pretty much every Clone soldier succumbing to the inhibitor chip they had surgically planted into their brains.

However, that still didn't change the fact that Darth Sidious' final phase of a galaxy-conquering master plan completely caught the Jedi Order off-guard and resulted in almost all of the Light Side users fighting the good fight being wiped from the galaxy in a relatively short space of time.
