| Could it be a Darth Revan Novel? |
This is going to be a huge book. It certainly appears there is going to be a major surprise in store because of the news that the cover will be unvieled at Comic-Con this summer in San Diego.
Which begs the question, what could be a big enough announcement to get two special announcement dates?
If you take a look at the recent TOR Gameplay video shown at PAX East, it appears that we are introduced to the Force Ghost of the Jedi Exile who says:
Jedi Exile: The darkness will consume all it touches. Stars will burn black. Ashes raining on lifeless worlds. Everything ends. The prisoner holds the darkness at bay, lost inside it for 300 years. His strength will fail. Then, he will become the darkness.
It looks like the stars may be aligning for a Darth Revan Novel.
