Along the way, I stumbled upon the man who seemed to be the root of all galactic turmoil – Darth Vader, a name that sent chills down my spine. As the story unfolded, I discovered that this masked figure was once Anakin Skywalker and that I had an unexpected relative, Princess Leia Organa. But how did she react to this shocking revelation?

As the previous lead singer of Van Halen, he ignited the trend of celebrity-endorsed alcohol when he launched his own Cabo Wabo Tequila in 1999.

Now, he’s back on our screens with another Amazon Prime series, “Countdown”, created by Derek Haas.

On November 14, 2024, the crime series “Cross” will make its first appearance on Prime Video, having consistently been one of their most-watched shows.

The show’s critical reception and massive viewership have prompted Amazon to renew it for a second season.
