Maybe this makes me a bad person, maybe it means that I'm just as much a traitor as Anakin was...but I really enjoyed the Order 66 level! You run around as a member of the 501st through the decimated Jedi Temple and you just start laying down fire on the Jedi, ducking behind toppled pillars, hiding behind staircases, taking cover behind the chairs in the Jedi Council Chamber. And the Jedi are particularly difficult opponents, because they can take you out with one or two swipes of their sabers.
The Jedi drop down from the rafters, leaping at you from impossible distances, doing everything they can to stop you from raiding the Temple. In addition to the Jedi, (and in a noticable departure from the film), you have to take on the Jedi Temple Guards, which are a lot like the Naboo Royal Guards. Not exactly film accurate, but I'm sure the game designers didn't want the player to have to fight exclusively melee opponents.
As part of the mission, you have to defend the Temple Archives as the Jedi try to destroy them and prevent the troopers from getting hold of the information within. Then, finally, you get the chance to use Lord Vader (the hooded Anakin) and Force run all around the temple, turning on your former comrades. As soon as you choose him from the character selection screen, you hear one of the troopers (in Temeura Morrison's voice, no less) says, "There he is..."
It's a great level that adds to the narrative from the film. And incidentally, no younglings are harmed in the process of the level, so nothing to worry about there. It's a satisfying level because, up until that point, the Clone trooper keeps referring to the fact that "The Jedi never saw it coming," so the level serves as something of a payoff for the player.
Well, that's my two cents...hopefully I haven't just done something to get myself excommunicated from the Order!
