That was the 2nd reason, aside from palpatine controlling events.. The seperatists leaders that represented THE MUENS OF THE PLANET SKIPPIO and THE NAMOIDIANS had already placed billions into not only researching and developing and constructional prototypes but also in construction of brand new factories and mining resources to get them build within the 2nd year of the war but when palpatine had the plans leaked on purpose so GENERAL SKYWALKER would not only destroy them but also seem like a hero for saving thousands of people from seperatists slave labor that were gonna be used to built them. At around that time After that, the seperatists started losing battles in the mid to the outer rim, month after month. Prompting them to consolidate any remaining financial resources to their last attempt at THE BATTLE OF CORASCANT.. And we all know how that ended!..

Cortosis, phrik alloy, and beskar, three different metals, all had the ability to resist the extreme cutting heat of lightsabers. The issue of course is having enough to equip an army. In one example, rather than armor, General Grievous' Magnaguard droids were equipped with shockstaves which were laced with phrik alloy, allowing them to block lightsaber strikes while using much less metal than fully armoring them.

He did not leak it to the Jedi. He leaked it to one of Padme's aides, who went to investigate it herself and never checked in, so Padme went to look for her and *also* stopped checking in. So Anakin went, IN SECRET, to rescue Padme and came across Mitth'raw'nurudo (Thrawn) en route to the planet where the factory was. Anakin only discovered it (and blew it up) because Padme was captured and held captive in the factory. It was a VERY subtle plan to eliminate the factory without it ever leading back to him because the only person who knew the source of the info was Padme's aide, who was killed while looking for the factory.

Also, in the old lore (now called legends), cortosis was incredibly fragile, and it only worked if the Jedi were using a certain kind of circuts in their saber. It caused a feedback loop or something that shut the saber down. So it was very impractical and costly to make armor out of, and Beskar was controlled exclusively by the Mandalorians, and nobody went to war with Mandalore.

As mentioned in legends the CIS tried once The reason why they didn’t keep trying was because crotosis is rare. And it’s same reason why they didn’t mass produce elite droids like Commando Droids. Elite droids are expensive It’s better to create expendable cheap droids in near infinite numbers to swarm the clones and Jedi and overwhelm them on numbers In truth the CIS would have won a war of attrition as Clones and Jedi are finite, and droids being so easily mass produced are near infinite So instead of draining their revenue on elite expensive droids that could be destroyed and irreplaceable It’s preferable to rely on the inferior droids which in long run could have won the war if Sidious didn’t have his endgame

If i recall those Lightsaber resistant droids were not the only thing Anakin found in that factory, but they also found a massive assembly line of lightsaber Resistant Clone Trooper armor, foreshadowing Order 66. As this was when Anakin was Accompanied by Lieutenant Thrawn when he fought in the clone wars. Thrawn quickly pieced together the reasoning for that armor but refused to share that information and chose to keep it to himself. Anakin assumed they were going to use the armor to outfit thousands of commando droids to infiltrate the grand army of the republic. for whatever plot may have been hatched by the CIS. Even though he was way off target with that assumption.
