Anakin finally defeats evil lord Dooku, lands on the ground, goes through his knees.. And Dooku explodes behind him leaving Anakin gleaming like a superhero powerranger with a cool fire behind him. Powerrangers are soooooo cool!!
If you read the books, there are several cases of evil Jedi/Sith exploding in bright blue energy. Sidious wasn't an isolated case and it wasn't just due to the reactor.
"Why didn't Lord Maul or Tyrannus explode when they died?" No idea.
the books are EU and the authors simply translate to what they thought happened in the films. it seemed in rotj that palps exploded, so they went with that. im sure the books are cool, but not reliable at all in a debate on canon.
the question isnt "why didnt maul or tyrannus explode" but "why did sidious explode". and to answer this ridiculous question, he hit something causing that thing he hit to explode (he hit it with sith lightning)

yeah they shoot the power rangers and there's sfx on the left and right but never on them.
Then those crap warriors fight and lose.
Then they join there weapons together to defeat the monsters.
Then he gets big.
Then megazord now!!!
Then they win.
Much like there are countless references to characters that are the children of Jedi because writers assumed that if Anakin had kids all Jedi could do that. And the references to an old pre-clone war Republic battle fleet, whereas no such thing existed because the Republic had no army. And the fact that The Clone Wars were constantly referred to as if they had taken place 50-60 years before instead of 20-30. And the suggestion that it would take at most 2 years to get proper clone soldiers rather than some 10 years until they were ready that is implied in Attack of the Clones.... So much for that.
According to the Return of the Jedi novel he exploded in evil dark-side energy. So he coulda fell in a sewer and still exploded. Do your research before you talk shit.
look, i'd bet the farm that lucas had it in his head that palps exploded when making rotj. but thats not the case anymore. the fat man changed his mind and such is star wars.
