Episode 10: Ackmena

from Star WTF!? · host Jason Tagmire

It's our StarWTF!? Life Day Celebration! Today we look at one of the most INSANE Star Wars productions, the Star Wars Holiday Special... and specifically we are discussing Bea Arthur's badass bar tending character, Ackmena. She's the rough and tough nighttime bartender at the Cantina, who is wooed by a man which a volcano head... and did we mention that she sings to the customers? It's both wonderfully entertaining and completely unwatchable. Download Episode 10 - Ackmena Ackmena was the nightshift bartender in Chalmun's Cantina in Mos Eisley on Tatooine. She was a favorite amongst the patrons there, as she was more approachable than the daytime bartender, Wuher. We also discuss our favorite Star Wars Christmas gifts from over the years. As well as a few things from our own personal gift wish lists. Happy Life Day everyone! Goodnight, but not goodbye.
