The revelation in Revelation was that Jacen revealed that he was a Sith, and that his new Sith name is Darth Caedus.
Im not too bothered about the length of the series, im more concerned about how it concentrates so much on a few characters in each book, with only vague references to the others - What has Luke and the other Jedi been doing during Revelation[i/], same for Han and Leia, what happened to Wedge, Syal, Tycho etc?
I read a Interview with the Three authors and if you guys have noticed each Author has (Or Had. Bye bye Alema
) there own personal character to write about
Karren Traviss Had Boba Fett
Troy Denning had Alema Rar
And Arron Allasting(Or whatever it is) had Wedge
But i guess thats going to be excluded in the last books and there going to rap up with all the characters
Thats a minor reason why the books were long. Another reason is that each book was at least 350-400 pages long. You want them to write four 1,000 page books? Not only does it cost more money, they'd probably make alot more just selling the books seperatly
