See the all-new TV spot for the Ahsoka Star Wars series

Published

on

This past July I was lucky enough to moderate panels during Superhero Comic-Con for multiple stars from a galaxy far, far, away such as Ming-Na Wen, Katee Sackhoff, and the man behind the Mandalorian helmet, Barry Lowin. In my conversation with Barry, I came to a realization in the middle of our panel and declared in front of a huge crowd that: we are going through a renaissance of Star Wars. That was a few months ago however it’s even more evident after this past week’s episode of Ahsoka that my statement is true.

Last May we were blessed with seeing flashbacks between Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi during their sparring days and the most recent episode of Ahsoka took us through past events of The Clone Wars and is providing Hayden Christensen a little of his own renaissance.

There he was. In his Clone Wars armor leading Commander Rex and guiding a young Ahsoka Tano into battle. If you were to ask me 20 years ago, what are two things I wish we would have had an opportunity to see for the Star Wars fandom that I never expected we would get, it would be: Seeing Luke Skywalker in his prime (which occurred during the S2 finale of The Mandalorian) and second I would say seeing a live-action Anakin during The Clone Wars. No not episode II, those were the events leading up to the war, but actually seeing Anakin in his prime and still far enough away from the dark side was more fulfilling than I anticipated. It was a wonderful and emotional surprise.

It is remarkable that we as fans are able to have all these incredible moments after so much time has passed. Perhaps it makes it all the more special. An actual live-action Clone Wars series wouldn’t have been on anyone’s mind after episode III. Things were much more absolute then. I guess that makes us more like Sith than we realize. One can only hope that with Dave Filoni at the helm, fans can experience more unexpected moments where, no matter how improbable it may seem, the impossible is possible. He has been a guiding light for the franchise. A fan turned storyteller who only wants to see this universe flourish. A savior of nerd passion and imagination.

A New Hope.

The Night Agent: The most watched streamed series is back for season 2 on Netflix

Published

By

In the end of season 1 of The Night Agent, POTUS offers to put Peter on the other end of the phone and promotes him to night action agent. Peter will now be part of The Night Action program, which runs deeper than what he could imagine. At the air base, Peter bids farewell to Rose, and promises to call her, and tells her when he does call, she better pick up. Aboard the Air Force jet, Peter is seen unlocking a tablet with facial recognition, then the screen displays “Night Action Mission Brief” with “Top Secret” noted on the bottom.

Season 2 of The Night Agent looks promising. It will feature new locations, new characters, mystery plots and exhilarating combat scenes, with high voltage pursuits.

I had the exciting opportunity to attend a preview screening of the first episode of the much anticipated season 2 of Netflix original series The Night Agent. Lead actor Gabriel Basso, who plays FBI Agent Peter Sutherland, did the honor of doing an in person introduction of the first episode on the upcoming season. He mentioned that Thailand is the starting point of the first episode with Peter’s new operation as a night action agent, and his partner Alice (Brittany Snow). There will be a lot of unexpected twists – a possible compromised Night Action, another mole, and innovative secret weapons. The action sequence follows Peter to New York City and Washington, D.C. Basso also commented that he does the majority of the action stunts, which the audience agrees it adds authenticity to The Night Agent series.

Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan) will also have a key role in the second season. She tries to settle back into the cyber tech world, but has difficulty dealing with post-traumatic stress from the assassination of her aunt and uncle, who were counterintelligence night agents, and the events that led up to her life being placed in jeopardy. However, in the turn of events, it is now Rose that gets the call from Peter. Will Rose still be a trustworthy ally?

The Night Agent season 2 will be streaming on Netflix starting on January 23, 2025.

Gabriel Basso took questions from the members of the audience – Will there be a season 3?  Where did the filming take place? And, my question – Would he consider becoming an (FBI) agent? See his response here:
