There would have been thousands of uruk pits, each churning out hundreds of uruks each day, meaning that in a few weeks, mordor woulld have millions of Uruks, I don't think that uruks breed that fast. Where did you get that information? Also you forgot the training. There can't be elite without years of training. as opposed to the GAR`s 1 million CTs, which took ten years to be battle ready, and that million was greatly reduced during the clone wars. as for the idea that orcs would be frightened by the light emitted by a blaster bolt, they arent afraid of light, they`re afraid of the sun, and that problem is fixed by the dark clouds of mordor. Orcs (and all evil creatures ARE afraid of the light because nearly all lightcomes from the Valar. Otherwise they had no reason to be afraid of Galadriel's or Gandalf's light. Everything that orcs use, is dark. And the GAR`s morale would be crushed by the sight of MILLIONS of Uruks charging them. Orcs would be frightened to hell from blaster shots that can kill someone faster than anything else. They would be frightened from a huge army and totally unknown troops suddenly coming out of the sky!!!

And morale is not just about numbers. One of the most frightening weapons of the romans was...PIGS! Yes, simple pigs. Basically every similar animal (cow, wild animals...) would work as well. You set them on fire and let them run into the enemy lines in their panic. They are nearly as devasting as scythed chariots.

You don't fear something that is stronger than you when you think logical. Fear is an instinct. Oh, and orc steel blades would hurt a clone, as clone armor is not designed​ to defend against blades. Likewise, blasters arent designed to get through orc steel armor. That's true but most orcs didn't wear armour. And don't tell me that Sauron could also forge a million armour plates in a few weeks... And as for the tanks, uruks are at least 3x as strong as humans, meaning that they would shear through the tank`s armor as easily as if they were made of butter. No. Tanks are designed to withstand big blaster shots that are more powerful than "3x as strong as humans". And even a jedi master would have trouble against a single Black Uruk (the best of the best in mordor), let alone vast hordes of them. A jedi could simply cut through weapons and armours of orcs as if they were not existent. Or he could use his power to smash whole groups of orcs. Also,there is another factor none of you are considering: The uruks would know the terrain of mordor as well as you do the way to your bathroom. Do you know the region you are living in as well? I guess orcs don't spend their time scouting the land but training to fight. And even those orcs who spend all their life with learning the terrain of Mordor, they wouldn't know all of Mordor, or even close to that. Especially not in "a few weeks". Mordor is a big land after all. Not to mention horde upon horde upon horde of regular orcs would be present too, not to speak of tens of thousands of trolls and Olog-hai. The Nine`s mere presence on a battlefield, due to the fact that the GAR`s morale would already be incredibly weak, as they would have trouble with getting food and supplies in mordor, and constant combat with some group of uruks or another, would cause the CT`s, even with their remarkable discipline, to become so afraid that many would simply go mad, or desert, or be too paralysed with fear to even move. That's a point but what are 9 ringwraiths in a war of millions? But what would happen to the jedi? Odds are Sauron would order the Nazgul to capture as many as possible, and stab them in their hearts with morgul blades to make them into Ringwraiths, only slightly weaker and thus under the control of the Nine. "Ringwraiths" are those who wear one of the nine rings of men. There can't be more than 9 ringwraiths. And even with Sauron's powers, you can't get full control of someone (so that you could use his skills and abilities), and the jedi are not weak in mind. They will show as much resistance as the elves. Sauron was never able to break the elves. As for the confederacy`s forces, well, Sauron would give the sith (and probably you too, General) the same treatment as the jedi, and as for the rest of your troops, no offense Gen. Grievous1138, but the best discription of battle droids is, well, cannon fodder. And orcs are better? We compare here a weak bot with a gun with a weak creature without any serious weapon.
