Skywalkers in Korea Cross Han Solo

Among the non-pun-but-still-fun headlines, I'm still fond of the headline one wag wrote whn Jerry Garcia died: "Head Deadhead Dead".

    I feel like all the pain we've endured from staying at home for the past two months is going to waste because people refuse to take it seriously now.
