Considering there is no canonical source that supports any of your theories... I automatically win BUT I'm willing to listen to reason.
Therefore the only way we can discuss the possibility of such a situation is via reason. My reasoning is based on how things work in the Star Wars universe. The role of droids and slaves and the nature of the Death Star as a Starship of high strategic importance.
You and Ryozorian base your conclusions that stem from real world assumptions. All you've done is simply attempt to transplant the nature of our reality onto the star wars one. Which would otherwise be fine had it not neglected the technological and political "realities" of the star wars universe.
The Republic had the Jedi on their side, not the seperatists.
The Jedi order didn't exist during the Empire. (Most were hunted down and killed but some survived)
The reason escapes me as to why they would choose a side in that conflict. (My guess is just bad writing though)
The seperatists just wanted independence. Granted they were lead by the trade federation... but I don't see the problem in granting political independence to worlds that wanted it.
I don't know much about the clone wars though.

I am not sure proving there were non-military personal on the Death Star is the same as proving the existence of God, but it is surely just as hard.
Knowing how the clones act from The Clone Wars movies and TV series, we know they have the same needs as typical Mandalorians. Just because they are clones doesn't mean they don't have personalities and "human" needs.
Is it reasonable to think that those needs are satisfied by droids?
And on that topic, if droids have free will, can the be considered "slaves" as they don't choose their owner?
If we say we can't apply our real world logic to the Star Wars universe, then that will unravel any reason to have a conversation about it.
Regarding Jedi and the Republic... good point, my mistake.
The Clone Wars is a bit of a misnomer, as it was Republic Clones vs. Seperatist Droids, and I guess the war ended with Order 66, with the Clones basically switching over to the Seperatist / Empire.
