Post Order 66 History, thanks to Wookiepedia
Following the Declaration of a New Order and the rise of the Galactic Empire the Sith used the Temple as a trap. Broadcasting a false signal to surviving Jedi telling them to return to the Temple as the Clone Wars were over, the Empire planned to execute the survivors of Order 66 as they returned to their home. Fortunately for the remaining Jedi, Grand Master Yoda and Master Obi-Wan Kenobi had been rescued by Senator Bail Organa and decided to return to the Temple and deactivate the beacon. Entering through a sublevel hangar the Jedi slew Decoy Squad Five and made their way through the Temple until they reached the central security station where they were able to recalibrate the beacon to warn the survivors to run and hide. While there Kenobi delved into the security holos and confirmed his worst fear, the man behind the slaughter was Anakin Skywalker, his former student and friend. The two Jedi separated in order to hunt down the two Sith and kill them; neither succeeded but Vader was critically injured, setting back Sidious's expectations for him.[19]
Vader would be sent back to the Temple by his master in order to retrieve the Sith holocrons stored there. Vader knew this to be a test of his will, if he could pass through the Force-imbued Temple without succumbing to the horrors wrought there he would be commended. Vader was accompanied by Head of Imperial Intelligence Armand Isard whose men had detected a hacker in the Archives. Vader suspected that it was Purge fugitives Roan Shryne and Olee Starstone. While Isard got a location for the two Jedi, Vader wasn't able to get to them before they slipped away again.[25] The Imperials proved inept at detecting other hackers as Padawan Ekria was able to slice into the database and delete all records of herself and fellow Padawans Drake Lo'gaan and Zonder.[26]
Jedi and Sith were not the only visitors to the Temple following its abandonment. Captain Gregar Typho, the former bodyguard of the deceased Senator Padmé Amidala, broke into the Temple in an attempt to discover the cause of her death. While rummaging through the Temple Library Typho encountered the bounty hunter Aurra Sing, who was searching the Temple for details on the whereabouts of the Jedi Jax Pavan. In the resulting duel Sing was knocked unconscious and Typho escaped unscathed and none the wiser of Amidala's death.[27]
Ferus Olin and Trever Flume enter the Temple to find the rumored "Jedi prison." With the Temple largely cleared of all valuable information by the Dark Side Adepts, the Empire maintained a small presence to maintain defenses in the event of a Jedi intrusion. Grand Inquisitor Malorum set up his office in the Temple, operating out of the former living quarters of the Grand Master. While Malorum was meeting with Darth Vader in the Temple's main levels, ex-Jedi Ferus Olin and his friend Trever Flume infiltrated his office and began searching for information on Polis Massa on behalf of Master Obi-Wan Kenobi who had ordered the mission. Eventually Malorum and Vader returned to the office and, with no other choice, Olin and Flume leapt out the window and managed to escape to Coruscant's Underworld. Shortly after Olin returned to the Temple, this time with Master Fy-Tor-Ana accompanying him and Flume. Using Master Ana's knowledge of the Temple's additions during the Clone Wars, the three were able to use a maintenance hatch to infiltrate the Storage Level. While searching for a rumored Jedi prison, the group would discover that in fact that no prison was there, simply a large storage chamber filled with the lightsabers of their slain brother and sister Jedi and a motion sensor that would summon stormtroopers to their position. Fleeing through the Temple, the group discovered that the complex was rigged to implode using a device placed in the Temple's core by Inquisitor Malorum. Refusing to leave the Temple to be utterly destroyed, the Jedi plus Flume raced to the Temple's reactor core and, using Flume's talents with explosives, were able to deactivate the weapon. While their mission seemed a success, Olin was captured by stormtroopers before he could follow Ana and Flume to safety.[28]
While Olin managed to escape Sith custody several months later, he was struggling with the powers of a Sith holocron that he had been given by Darth Sidious. Returning to the Temple to uncover the truth behind the supposed resistance leader Flame, Olin realized that the woman was really working for the Empire. Olin attempted to contact the Resistance members that were meeting with the traitor but was unable to prevent their slaughter. Before escaping the Temple, Olin was confronted by the dreaded Sith Lord Darth Vader. The confrontation between Vader led Olin to the Chambers of the High Council before Olin was cut down in the High Council tower atrium. Believing Olin was dead, Vader left the Temple and his body to rot; however Olin was indeed alive and escaped the Temple for the final time.[29]
Recent History, thanks to Wookiepedia
Activity at the Temple slowly dwindled to only a small group of troopers charged with keeping out intruders. Completely secured, Emperor Palpatine had some areas modified to encourage the idea that the ancient Order were indeed a cruel and malevolent threat all along. Archived data was changed to make Masters appear as corrupt as the Separatist leaders, and Sith statues further discredited the Order. All of this propaganda was set up in anticipation of Palpatine's guided tours through the Temple—an honor reserved for the Empire's most high-ranking members and the elite-of-the-elite. Stationed at every entrance, Shadow Troopers protected the Temple's treasures under the command of Imperial Senate Sentinels.[30]
