As a big Ahsoka fan, I was really intrigued to hear Claudia Black, who played the Great Mother Klothow, talk about Season 2. While she won’t be back herself, she strongly hinted that Klothow will definitely return! Apparently, she and Disney couldn’t come to an agreement on salary – it would have meant moving from Los Angeles to London for filming, and she needed to be able to manage her family commitments. So, they’ll be recasting the role, which is a little sad, but I’m still excited to see what happens with that character!

Science fiction often accurately predicts the future, and we’re seeing that happen more and more. Shows like Black Mirror have episodes that feel unsettlingly relevant to our current lives. Similarly, the classic cyberpunk novel Neuromancer resonates deeply today because it so powerfully captured the feeling of isolation even as technology connects us all.
Apple TV has become a go-to destination for high-quality, cutting-edge science fiction.
