Have a Merry Wookie Christmas

We need to hear from you.
Today during our spring member drive, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

The 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special has the distinction of being one of the few chances you'll ever get to see a Wookie having an orgasm, but who wants to sit through Bea Arthur and Jefferson Starship to get there? Mercifully, some evil video genius has condensed two hours of 1978 time down to five of our 2006 minutes. And a happy Life Day to you as well.
