From what I have read, most people seem to be pitting Mordor against the Clone Army. The two sides should clash at the height of their power which would be around the time of the council of Elrond in the LOTR world and right after the Battle of Geonosis in Star Wars. Additionally, I will ONLY be using information from the Star Wars movies as the expanded universe and books are not all considered canon. I think that the following scenario is the most likely to occur:

The Republic discovers Arda and sends a group of clone troopers and possibly a jedi to investigate this new world. The scouting force happens to land in Mordor and the orcs, unable to identify these otherworlders, kill them using superior numbers. The Republic then sends an army to attack and conquer Mordor. At this point, Sauron will cover Mordor in darkness. It is likely that as the darkness of Mordor is "magic" it would cause problems with the Republic's visual and heat seeking equiptment, making it harder to formulate stratagies and move troops. Although Mordor will lose the first several battles, they will eventually use stealth and guerrilla warfare instead of vast warfare and utilizing all the caverns and crevices in Mordor. Additionally, the orcs will scavange clone equiptment and possibly create crude versions of guns using gunpowder from Orthanc. It is also likely that the Seperatists also land in Mordor and that Sauron joins forces with them.

It can be assumed that the Republic also makes contact with the Free People of Middle Earth and creates an alliance. Many people above have stated that the Jedi could simply levitate the One Ring into Mt. Doom but the problem is that the Republic has no knowledge of the Ring. However, it is possible that Gandalf and the Wise might tell them but the issue of corruption still exists. Even if one of the Jedi use the Force, they are still at risk for coming under its influence. Should the Force negate the power of the Ring, it would not be possible for them to levitate it all the way to Mt. Doom. Most likely, the Republic would try sending a ship into Mordor. This wouldn't work though because of the Seperatists blocking entry into Mordor. Should the ship get through, the piloit would become corrupted and if it was an unmanned ship, the person placing the ring inside would be at risk. So sooner or later, the ring will inevitably fall into Sauron's hands.

With ring in his possesion once more, Sauron will most likely give the remaining dwarf rings to the Sith and Seperatist Leaders, eventually making them his slaves.With the technology and resources of the Seperatists at his disposal, Sauron will be able to mass produce tens of MILLIONS of orcs inplants across the galaxy and outfit them with the most hi-tech weapons avalible. Once the Death Star is complete, he would use it to destroy Mt. Doom and Arda, making himself undestructible and eventually conquer the entire galaxy. If anyone has any counterpoints, please feel free to make them.
