Caught in desperate combat, Mace looked into the Force. And for one, fleeting moment, he saw a shatterpoint -- a weakness in Palpatine's defense. It was not the Jedi way -- but the cost of defeat was unthinkable.
He rammed his knee straight up.
Palpatine doubled over. Mace released the activation plate on his lightsaber -- he was here to make an arrest. But he was too slow. Even as it shrunk away, the purple blade burned its way through Palpatine's shoulder, down into his chest.
The Chancellor -- the Sith Lord -- was dead before he hit the ground.
