In 1999 I paid for Star Wars and got Star Sports. >But it's like the Ben-Hur chariot death race.Blood sport is not war, and movies about races are sports movies
>>214416285so, for you, it wasn't pod racing
Why are they playing space chess they should be having WARS
>>214416528i don't mind if a guy plays his gamegear or whatever while he's waiting for the elevator to arrive to talk about the war plans. that's not cutting to a different film for 40 minutes to do a completely unrelated racing story with all the racing movie tropes
>>214416580There's a pulpy biblial epic tone to Star Wars, so gladitorial stuff fits right inIf they were racing those coruscant cars then it might feel a bit off but snce pods are essentially space chariots I'll allow it
>>214416795ah yeah i love those bible passages about thrilling vehicle races spectated by the church fathers from the grandstands
>>214416285It doesn't even amount to a third of the movie. That's like calling The Quiet Man a sports movie because of the steeplechase.
>>214417276It's a genre it's not literal you retard
>>214416285You paid for a two hour toy commercial and you got it.
>>214418106Then why can't I buy a buildable plastic model of Anakin's Pod
>>214418145Umm.. cuz you are poor? A quick search showed a model from Revell.
