STIS UV snapshots of low redshift (z<0.1) 3CR radio galaxies show a diverse range of UV morphologies including regions of star formation, jets, and possible scattered AGN continuum. We find large 10-20 kpc scale highly chaotic dust lanes that are encrusted with star forming regions, and smaller kpc scale regular dust disks with no evidence for star formation processes. The large scale UV emission, predominantly in FR-II radio galaxies, is in general divergent from their visual morphology and is reminiscent of the chaotic high-z radio galaxies structures seen in rest-frame UV.
