Ever wondered what happened to the Jedi Temple after the Clone Wars and what it looked like exactly? Here it is.
It really is a thing of beauty. I always admire the Jedi temple and Imperial Academy building in both forms.
I have no idea where I got this idea from but, wasn't it used as the Roylal Guards headquarters... ??
He didn't really do anything "horrible". The corridors on the main floors were busier and less serene. Palpatine crafted a minimalist design and set up his own audience chamber as well as residential suite at one of the spires. It would be reasonable to assume so. Palpatine resides at the Palace so it would be logical for the Royal Guard headquarters to be there, I doubt it would be expansive though; the Royal Guard were few in number.
Don't understand why google shrinks the images once posted some place else. Ohwell, you's can get a better look of the pic here if its all shunk up for you on this thread. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=...=6WKTV8qMBIew0AS-taKgDA#imgrc=XjshzmlTGkgN7M:
Hopefully in time, we will get more snippets of information about the converted temple and what changes Palpatine made to it.
Taken from Wookiepedia under the Canon section: Five years after the end of the war and the fall of the Jedi Order, the Galactic Empirehad refitted the Jedi Temple into the Imperial Palace, which served as the residence ofDarth Sidious, theDark Lord of the Sithand Emperor. All that remained of the original temple was its quincunx of skyscrapingspires, which crowned an amalgam of blockish edifices with sloping façades. Inside the Palace, the walls and plinths of the expansive corridors were left bare of statues and other art pieces.[1] The Emperor's receiving room was a dimly lit chamber with huge windows that opened out onto the Coruscant skyline.[14] The pinnacle room of the primary spire housed the Emperor's personal quarters, while its penultimate level contained the Palace's audience chamber. Only a few areas of the former Jedi headquarters underwent no transformation. One of those was the enormous holographic galactic map located mid-level in what had been the High Council spire. The palace precinct had a courtyard landing field that was large enough to accommodate Star Destroyers of the Victory and Venator classes. From that courtyard, the Palace's interior could be accessed through elaborate doors.[1] In the palace, there was also a vast hall that could be used as a ballroom. Ornately tiled and mirrored, it was lined with massive columns on either side. On at least one occasion, the hall was decorated with brilliant red banners hung from the ceiling, and crystalline sculptures that stood on pedestals and shifted shape from abstract forms into Imperial symbols.
