Legend

this woman reported on the high-society events of the Cularin System for Eye on Cularin. She was one of the few beings who was allowed to enter the lair of the crimelord Nirama, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, for an exclusive interview. Unfortunately, Yara's inane interview skills were more than Nirama could take. He ended the interview - which wasn't really an interview as much as it was Yara trying to poke fun at the crimelord - and returned her to Cularin. She was unharmed but unconscious when she was found, and her interview only served as proof of her vapid nature and inane style. However, as the galaxy spiraled downward into the Clone Wars, Yara became a more intuitive reporter, and actually came to interviews with background information and pertinent questions. It was even believed that a popular Coruscant-based news agency had interviewed her for a position in the Core Worlds, although no formal offer was ever made. Among her most popular interviews were those with Jedi Master Lanius Qel-Bertuk, whom Yara seemed to regard as a potential paramour. Lanius worked hard to maintain his composure around Yara, and eventually began to ask her for airtime. Not only did she grant these requests to Lanius, but she also began doing more interviews with the Jedi in general, hoping to provide a balanced approach to her reporting of the events in the Cularin System. Just after the end of the Clone Wars, she was upset to learn that a holovid had been produced without her permission, detailing her life story. Yara Grugara: Unauthorized and Totally Real was little more that a sensationalized version of her life, lacking any shred of truth and completely without her own support.
