MACE arrives with THREE JEDI to arrest PALPATINE.



PALPATINE: Master Windu. I take it General Grievous has been destroyed then. I must say, you’re here sooner than expected.



MACE WINDU: In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you are under arrest, Chancellor.



MACE WINDU and the other JEDI ignite their lightsabers.



PALPATINE: Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?



MACE: The Senate will decide your fate.



PALPATINE: (burst of anger) I am the Senate!



MACE: Not yet!



PALPATINE stands, a laser sword appears out of his cloak sleeve, and he spins toward the JEDI.



PALPATINE: It’s treason, then.
