I'll take any kind of show about any kind of racing Nascar is kinda boring though.

people only like Initial D for the Eurobeat. Every episode is either people sitting in a family restaurant or making surprised reactions from the bottom right of the screen

Either way you're wrong.

Absolutely.

Although to be fair, I'd watch any Star Wars cartoon.

Not if it was made by people with the mindset of the people that added all the superfluous and flow-breaking extra scenes to the podrace.

Pretty sure George added those scenes, since he was too attached to them.

Podracing was the best part of the worst movie, though. It was the only part that was remotely exciting.

Only if it's Wacky PodRaces.

But just think, now Star Wars and Oban are both Disney properties....

Maybe a few episodes of a cartoon, but I don't think I could do a whole show about it unless it was really top-notch or something.

Same. There's something adorable about the stick insect piloting an enormous pair of engines.

I take it you never played the game?

Oban Star Racers is probably the only good racing show there's been, and the Earth team still gets their asses kicked most of the time.

Wow, Main-Character wins every episode, cool.

You fucking what? The podracing sequence displays some of the finest directorial effort George put into the prequels. There's almost no dialogue, (none I think from Anakin himself) yet literally every shot of the controls in Anakin's cockpit perfectly conveys exactly what's happening and what Anakin is experiencing: the minute-to-minute struggle of keeping the podracer from exploding mid-race.

Say what you will about everything else but the Podracing sequence is easily one of the best action scenes and by far the best use of CGI in the prequels.

Bullseye Navoir. He had a fast and agile machine. A true expert's choice. Neva Kee also has a pretty sweet racer. I also like Boles Roor just because it's basically a podracer version of a muscle car: Very fast in a straight line, but can't turn for crap.

Something about Rallying would be neat.

Or just air racing.

Podracing is nothing like NASCAR.

For one thing, podracing is fun. If you never raced a pod, you're fucking useless and a sack of shit.

It's also a conceptually brilliant exhibition of what Lucas is best at which is homaging classic movies and ideas with a Sci-Fi twist.

I mean it's literally the chariot race from Ben-Hur but instead of horses the chariots are strapped to absurd high-power engines that reach insane speeds.

That's fucking awesome.

How did I not realize up to now that pods are chariots?
