Dark side burst

A dark side death explosion occasionally occured when a powerful Sith or Dark Jedi was killed. The Sith Lord Palpatine exploded in this way after being thrown down an air-vent in the second Death Star. In 9 ABY Joruus C'baoth also exploded in a blast of blue energy after being killed by Mara Jade's lightsaber.
