now this is pod racing

Ok

That was a good part

Ngl

Star Wars Podracer was the only good thing to come out of the movie

not the podracing scene *in* the movie, just the game

the relationship with Anakin was pretty terrible, I'll give you that

Podracing in the movie was decent

the scene itself is just CGI bullshit and plot armour

YIPPIE

LOL

if podraces were actually that dangerous there would be no veterans

*if flying a fighter jet was actually that dangerous there would be no veterans*

So no

people dont fly fighters through stalactite filled caves sideways

as a regular occurrence

But you don't get shot at

nor do they fly low enough that some rando can topple a tree on them

Usually

they do get shot at

I KILLED THEM ALLL

Not just the men

But the women

And the children too

They are like animals and I slaughtered them like animals

they get shot at, the pods are deathtraps, you have to turn sideways or go off a ramp to finish the race, the races are designed to be difficult to survive at all

I HATE THEM

and the racers sabotage each other

Yeah

Still possible to survive

the only reason why anyone lives is because of cartoonish violence

If.you have reflexes of a jedi

I am biased

you're ignoring what the movie directly shows lol

So I accept and recognize all the criticism

there are like two survivors of that race, and one of them is space jesus

but this is apparently an industry

But it doesn't stop me from loving them

how about no

Pods can have safety measures

theyre ship engines attached by cables to an open cockpit
