In Revenge of the Sith , it's a plot point that Obi-Wan and Yoda are changing the Jedi Temple beacon's message at the same time that Padme and Bail are learning about the formation of the Empire: The PILOT pushes some buttons. MAS AMEDDA appears on screen. MAS AMEDDA: Senator Organa . . . the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic requests your presence at a special session of Congress. BAIL ORGANA: Tell the Chancellor I will be there. MAS AMEDDA: Very well. He will be expecting you. MAS AMEDDA's image disappears from the screen. BAIL ORGANA: It could be a trap. OBI-WAN: No, I don't think so. The Chancellor will not be able to control the thousands of star systems without keeping the Senate inta

The film's official novelisation indicates that he used the Force In the main holocomm center of the Jedi Temple, high atop the central spire, Obi-Wan used the Force to reach deep within the shell of the recall beacon’s mechanism, subtly altering the pulse calibration to flip the signal from come home to run and hide. Done without any visible alteration, it would take the troopers quite a while to detect the recalibration, and longer still to reset it. This was all that could be done for any surviving Jedi: a warning, to give them a fighting chance. Revenge of the Sith: Official Novelisation [LINK] The junior novel [LINK] also implies that he added some extra safeguards to prevent its detect

When Obi-Wan and Yoda return to the Jedi Temple, they discover that many Jedi knights, padawans and younglings were killed. Obi-Wan records a warning message for all Jedi to stay away from the temple. He then goes through the security recordings to discover why some padawans and younglings were killed with a lightsaber blade. Here is the script for that scene: 185 INT. CORUSCANT-JEDI TEMPLE-CONTROL CENTER-NIGHT OBI-WAN enters the Main Control Center with YODA and heads for the hologram area. OBI-WAN: Wait, Master. There is something I must know . . . YODA: If into the security recordings you go, only pain will you find. OBI-WAN: I must know the truth, Master. OBI-WAN moves to a panel and fli

Only valid reason no to mention Sith would be if remaining Jedi knew that "dark shadow" are actually Sith . This is not impossible, members of Jedi Council certainly knew about Sith, and were actively searching for mysterious Sidious. That knowledge probably trickled down to rank&file Jedi, Ashoka certainly knew [LINK] or figured out who was Palpatine. Obi-Wan's message clearly states that both Republic and Jedi Order have fallen, Jedi should not return to Temple (that time has passed) and they need to trust the Force and wait for New Hope. In non-poetic terms this means that they have basically screwed the pooch :D , people sitting in Coruscant are not simply anti-Jedi clique that could be
