The artifact was genetically sealed, which means that Klias might be a descendant of a member the Yallow Fellowship. So in conclusion, yes, the temple was still there, but it was no longer in actual working condition.While exploring, Klias accidentally activates a vitalicron, an artifact believed to contain the memories of one of the cultists. The pieces of the destroyed holochrons are still there and intact, but they no longer "stick" together: Given this, it's not at all surprising that Ahsoka and Vader survived the blast-the explosion is likely more representative of the breakdown of whatever Force-based metabehaviors are embedded in those objects.

Maul and Ezra combine the Jedi and Sith holochrons, ultimately resulting in an explosion that "destroys" both of them.Įzra is literally feet away when this happens, but neither he nor his companion are physically injured, nor is there any damage to the room. In particular, the more recent episode Holochrons of Fate (season 3, episode 2) shows us another example, when This is consistent with other kyber-related explosions we've seen in other places. This disruption likely also damaged the main kyber crystal, which could have been the cause of the large explosion seen as the Phantom is flying away: In this case, removing the holochron disrupted the flow of energy within the temple, initiating the collapse. Now back to the temple itself, what Ezra did is basically equivalent to pulling the plug on a running PC-yes, it turns the thing off but often results in unintended side effects. Remember, Vader clearly wasn't expecting Ezra and Kanan to sneak inside and grab it while he fought Ahsoka, and indeed, later on he attempted to recover it from Ezra's hand but was ultimately unsuccessful. The temple was no longer functional as a weapon once Ezra removed the holochron powering it. Of course, such sloppy work sometimes leaves lose ends, like the question why Palpatine didn't examine temple much earlier, if he (like Kanan) heard stories about Great Scourge). Therefore it was disposable story-wise : powerful weapon to attract attention, but it could be destroyed to preserve continuity. Malachor is of course known from Legends, but Sith temple on it was not. They needed to re-introduce Maul, and get rid of Ahsoka and Inquisitors, so they created one-time plot device of Sith temple on Malachor. Out of universe: Looks like whole idea of Sith temple was quickly cobbled up together for the finale of Rebels season 2. Anyway, as such, it was unsuited as a weapon of choice for Tarkin Doctrine and rule by fear, which required ability to destroy any planet in Galaxy.Īlso, of course, temple itself was destroyed at the end of relevant episode, and I doubt there were blueprints for it. Planet was left lifeless, but was that original design (similar to Thought bomb and Ritual of Nathema in Legends), or was it some kind of flaw is unclear.

Every Sith, Jedi and most likely every living being was killed, but only on Malachor. This exactly happened first time it was activated during Great Scourge of Malachor. In universe: Looks like Sith temple-superweapon could destroy life only on planet it was constructed.
