"Sithisis," a comic book story spanning fourteen pages without any dialogue, is presented within Star Wars: Visionaries, crafted in both writing and art by Derek Thompson.
In this tale, Darth Sidious engages in a sinister and ancient Sith ceremony. He conjures a worm-like entity from within a holocron, consumes it, and then unleashes Force lightning upon a sizable crystal. This act generates a tempest across Coruscant, instilling a sense of disquiet and terror within the Jedi, and simultaneously intensifies Anakin Skywalker's yearning for greater power. Throughout this ordeal, he revels and contorts within the influence of the dark side's power, effectively manipulating the destiny of the galaxy. Subsequently, a worm-like creature, of immense size, emerges from the holocron and consumes Sidious. The ritual concludes suddenly as the Sith Lord obliterates the worm, reducing it to dust. He then exits his chamber and proceeds through a line of Red Guards, projecting the composed and amiable persona of the Chancellor.
