Nyarota was a recipient of several international awards, including the Committee to Protect Journalists’ International Press Freedom Award in 2001, Golden Pen of Freedom Award from the World Association of Newspapers in 2002, and the Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize the same year.
“I’ve seen canon stretch so much,” he said. “It was really tight on ‘Rogue.’ But a lot of things have changed since then.”The overall direction of the show was basically determined when work began on the series five years ago.
“I know what I’m doing with Cassian,” Gilroy said. “I know that the first year is the making of a revolutionary and the road to Damascus, that’s the first year, I know I’m leading to Rogue, I know where he’s gonna end up.”Other elements, like the route Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) takes from respectable senator to leader of the rebellion, were not predetermined. They were discovered in the writing and in the performances.Her early-season path includes a wedding ceremony full of rituals — and dances — new to “Star Wars” that Gilroy invented out of whole cloth. He said one of the pleasures of getting to make something so large and sprawling is that he has gotten to use nearly every writing thought he has had.
“All I did for five years was just max out my imagination,” Gilroy said.Mothma is among the “Rogue One” characters who appeared in the first season and return for the second, along with Forest Whittaker’s radical rebel Saw Gerrera, who this season gives a spine-tingling call to arms that is teased in the trailer: “Revolution,” he preaches to an underling, “is not for the sane!”
Season 2 also sees the emergence of “Rogue One” characters for the first time in the TV series, including Andor’s droid sidekick K-250, played by Alan Tudyk, and Death Star builder Orson Krennic, played by Ben Mendelsohn.
Luna took special pleasure in the return of Tudyk and his robot who speaks with no filter.She was a lawyer in Cuba before fleeing religious persecution in 2022 with her husband, a daughter, now 4, and her parents, Barbara said. They are seeking political asylum in the United States.
“I would not want my daughter to grow up in a society that excludes her. As a citizen, she will have a lot of rights. I don’t know exactly how many places she would not be able to access if she were not a citizen,” Barbara said.A possible outcome of the court case is babies born to immigrant mothers at the same time in the same American hospital would have different status. One might be a U.S. citizen; the other might not.
Birthright citizenship is among several issues the administration has asked the court to deal with on an emergency basis, after lower courts acted to slow Trump’s agenda. Several of those relate to immigration. The justices are considering the administration’s pleas tofor more than 500,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela and
