Palpatine's death and that blue dark force energy

Hi all,
Please forgive if this has been discussed before and there is a thread already (Jp i did use the search button :-) )

Anyways........

When Palpatine/Sidious dies on the DSII in ROTJ, there is a mass of blue (Darkside) energy released from the shaft. Now we know Jedi either die (body is left) or they disapear (ghosts). Now the Sith, we've seen really only one Sith death (maul - cut in half) as we don't know if Vader disapeared or the body was still in the suit (a mystery!!) when he was cremated

Now what my questions are....

What is it that's released? his life force? his darkside energy? or is it THE darkside energy?

"Any help here would be hot"

Thanks all.

I'm not sure that was force energy, I always thought it was damage done to that shaft, like something blew open or something because of his lightning flying all over on the way down. Plus it was just supposed to make his death a big deal on film... big grin

What else could they do?

Have Palpatine fall down going "arggggggggh" and then we see a ring of smoke and a "pffff" sound like in the Road Runner cartoons?

That was the energy of pure drama.

It could of coarse be his ghost, since in the expanded universe he returns...

no can't sorry - it was Palpatine using lightning while changing into Sidious (or the face we see in ROTJ anyway)

puff of smoke at the bottom.....hehehe.

Superfly, you kill me, man.

I think it was the combination of the lightning still coming out of him, bouncing off the walls of the shaft. There's probably a lot of power conduits and thingies in those shafts...probably overloaded some systems and the like.

George sure does like those shafts. If I was in a duel, I'd make sure I'd tell the other guy first, "lets do this someplace else and get away from the freakin shaft room".
