‘Only Murders in the Building’ Season 2 Shines With a Surprise Star and More

Only Murders in the Building cast.

Reva and Trilla were both lost, tortured souls with so much anger that they couldn’t help but misplace some of it. Both were tortured by Vader but because they are not strong enough to stop him, they focus that anger on people who they think they can hurt, namely Cere Junda and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and on succeeding in their missions so that they will not be punished, despite knowing they are condemning others to share their fate.
