I've been wondering the same thing and came to the conclusion, that it wouldn't fit well with the rest of the ships and the game itself for several reasons:

1. Besides the N-1 and ARC-190 (which is the only ship, that would fit well with the other ships aesthetically) the fighters are really small. Smaller even than the A-Wing.

2. Pilot cards! Droids in the Trade Federation's army aren't unique. And while some clone pilots are well-known in the EU, who cares about any random Geonosian? Of course, with Jedi fighters we could have pilots like Saesee Tiin, Ki-Adi Mundi, Plo Koon etc., but the sheer list of awesome characters on the Republic side dwarfs the Federation. Also, there would have to be two versions of Anakin Skywalker; 10 years old and the Clone Wars Anakin.

3. Dog-fighting wasn't a big deal in the prequels. It was mostly getting from A to B in the starfighter sequences.I don't believe fans have the same feelings towards starfighter dog-fighting in the prequels compared to the sequels, because of this.
