Were there no engine classes in podracing?
true they should all use the same engine frame and go left for 500 laps
>tie cables to 2 jet engines>strap yourself into one of those comically large tires you see in playgrounds>podraceunironically why wouldn't this work? all the jet engines really need is vertical stabilizers. They don't even need that much thrust to get off the ground under such low load
>>215421020You can learn the answer to that question by looking at the picture that you posted.
>>215421589engines need fuel
>>215421020>My agility and speed is sure to win
>>215421629I have an idea
>>215421020>modern F1, colourised
How would you use the gutter technique to beat Takahashi on the tatooine touge in that piece of shit?
For me? It’s Neva Kee
>>215421020Of course not. They were all self-taught because they were poor and couldn't afford to go to dedicated classes to learn.
>>215421736Sebulba had corporate sponsors tho.
>>215421020I feel a wiki entry coming on
>>215421020The only thing that matters in POD RACING is having force-like reflexes to avoid exploding to death
>>215421020It's Multiclass, like Le Mans or the Burgerking 24
>>215422074Is that in the actual movies?
>>215421020You can learn the answer to that question by playing the Lucas canon video game Star Wars Pod Racer
>>215421680What's this from? Chariots of Fire?
podracing was so hilariously gay
>>215423040Sparticus
>>215423055How so?>build your own rig>race that rigshits cash
>>215421629no they don't shut up
>>215423020for me? it's clegg holdfast
>>215421629Have you ever even watched Star Wars? They fly a tiny one man plane across the galaxy without refueling
>>215423055You wouldn't know gay if it fucked you in the ass
>>215423020Based on profile?Ody Mandrell is looking hella fuckin comfy in his little shell pod
>>215423099Because not a single one looked cool and a little Gary Stu kid can beat every pro on his first race.
>>215423218it wasn't his first racehave you seen the film
>>215423199Then how come I can tell that your comment is super gay?
>>215423218He had force reflexes man.Thats the only reason he can even pod raceEveryone else is a fucking alien
>get free tickets to the pod race>they're behind the giant mountain in the middle of the bleachers
>>215423236I tried to watch it a couple times but turn it off every time they get to pod racing. Because it is laughably dumb.
>>215423020For me it's elan mak with the coolest pod
>>215422332>The concept of modern day Podracing was born circa 100 BBY on Malastare by alien racer Gustab Wenbus.[1] Wenbus had entered himself in a race with a super-fast prototype pod designed by a mechanic named Phoebos. Standardizing the Podracer's configuration and promoting the first circuits, Wenbus' rules were simple: build a racer, make it fast, and race. Prizes usually consisted of parts or credits and were awarded to the first to cross the finish line or the last surviving racer.
>>215423285sovl
>>215423254That sounds very Gary Stu ish. Glad I got "filtered" lol.
>>215423319You sound like a fuckin' op.You a woman bro? show your dick to me right now BITCH!
>>215423348No.
>>215423387Just as I suspected.You see, only women call men characters Gary Stu's and only men call women Mary Sues.
>>215423446flawless
>>215423446>>215423488Only a samefag would completely change up their capitalization and punctuation. Pathetic.
>>215423299toy commercial: the movie
>>215423739...yes, these children's movies are made for toys and have been since the 70's. Brilliant observation.
>>215421733For me, its Ebe Endocott.
>>215423162Same, the zebra paint job was dope
>>215423020Wheres Bullseye Navior?
This reminds me, I need to get back to playing my dreamcast Star Wars Episode 1: racer playthrough.
>>215421714GONNA GET YOULIKE A SPACE BOY
>>215421161still more overtakes than your "sport", F1 shitter
>>215423020>Quadinaros>uses 4 engineswho writes this shit
I rewatched this recently and I had forgotten that there's no music during the podrace. Seems like a real missed opportunity
>>215421020because the whole point is that it's dangerous. If you're retarded enough to have the biggest engines and somehow not die, congrats
>>215425902Nope. Lucas wanted to emphasize the engine and turbine sounds and he did amazingly. It's very iconic and way better than music which fills the rest of the movie. Even then, there is music at various points of the race.
>>215423020For me you just can't go wrong with plain, honest Quadinaros.
>>215423040Isn't this Ben Hur? This shit was amazing when I was a child.
>Come on, kids! Let's go watch daddy win the race!
>>215426275Damn.
>>215423020I would look at this picture for hours as a kid
ADigitalMan released a recut of Ep1 like two decades ago and the best part was giving us an extra lap of the deleted footage
>>215423203thats Elan Mak>>215424012game only
>>215425827>defending nascar>overtakesnigger what are you doing
Why was podracing extinct by the time Luke grew up?
>>215426735No one said it was, but Luke loved way more flying his T-16 and shooting rodents
>>215426735Who says it was? Maybe that's why he wanted to go to Tosche station with his bros.
>>215426735Luke was a farm boy living in the wastes around Mos Eisely, Anakin was living in Mos Espa. The two are so distant that in Episode II, Padme and Anakin fly her starship to reach the Lars homestead after leaving Watto.
>>215423040>>215423096its Ben Hur. This scene was a huge deal at the time. Back in the good ol days before chi when stuntmen were willing to die for their craft
>>215427617*cgi
>>215421653yeah. the track isn't straight
>>215427617yeah it sucks that they only do stunts by harnessing the energy of the universe nowadays
>>215421020>You know where the pilot should sit>Where? >Right behind those two radioactive jet engines with only goggles for protection
>>215423285Goddamn prove me wrong but CGI will never be able to compete with this
>>215421020Why.... they use a Balance of Performance formula!
>>215426275>Que pasa que pasa que pasa que pasa>Brap>Exploooom
>>215421020>no engine classes>no age restrictions>literal child participating in deadly racing and warfareDumb as fuck. Lucas should have started with Anakin as a late teen than a child. Putting a child in danger the way he did was just stupid.
>>215428389To be fair Anakin was just a freebie Watto got with his mom, his monetary return as a racer was probably a better trade than just having him around cleaning parts, and if he died no big deal.
>>215422074And blue sluts.>>215428389Tattooinne was a lawless cesspool.
>>215423739>they made all the vehicles look cool and that's bad
>>215423040You think I'm going to reply to your shitty bait?
>>215421020Pod Racing is similar to Can-Am which had almost no regulations.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can-Am
>>215421680Really irresponsible of QVADRIGACAR to not have the caution out earlier.
>>215426735Because Lucas hadn't thought of it yet back then
>>215423020Call me basic bitch but for me it's Sebulba's, the size, X shape, colors and that wubwubwub engine noise
>>215426275What the fuck George?
>>215428389The child was on tatooine. Every day is dangerous there. The whole point was to show he could do things no normal human could. Which would win his freedom early in life
>GNAAAAHHHH
>>215423020IT'S A NEW LAP RECORD
>>215433228pod in the wall
>>215421020Why would an engine take classes? They're not sentient.
>>215433790So they can become doctors
>>215421680Fun fact. The stunt double became a paraplegic after landing on the chariot with his back.
>>215427617It's still a huge deal. The scene is unironically amazing. CGI hasn't even come close to topping this.
>>215423020> choose gasgano because he has the coolest looking pod of all the early game racers imo> find out later that he is notoriously the shittiest racer / pod in the game
>>215434073You are supposed to start with Teemto or Ebe, until you unlock Bullseye. Bullseye makes everybody else obsolete.
>>215434031that's not very fun
>>215433228Was that shot of the flames shooting out from the cave done with practical pyrotechnics? it looked pretty good
>>215423020DUD BOLT chads we'll get that little honky next time......
Credits will do fine.
I love the arcade racer tie-in so much. The dual-throttle control scheme is wild until you get a feel for it.
RAWRRRRRRhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLGBq4orSZk
>>215423285Those seats probably go for way more because it's Tatooine and shade is fucking hard to come by. You'd be watching most of the race on a view screen anyway.
>>215434412This game was fun as fuck.
>>215434412fuckin hell how much would someone have to pay for this nowadays?
>>215423040Gladiator 2
>>215423020>elan maksurprised his isn't electric
>>215421020Tatoinne wasn't the only racetrack.An F1 engine is great on a looping flat huge long track. Not very great for the Alps, though...
>>215427743Neither are you HOMO.
>>215433228what a fucking retard
>>215436394wait what?
>>215423739Yes I much prefer the theme park advertisements that were the sequels.
>>215423192Do they need to show them refueling? Does han solo shit in the pilot seat because you've never seen the shitter on screen in the millennium falcon?
>>215433228RIP
>>215426735It wasn't. Haven't you read the limited edition special print of the 3rd book in the 12th series of Star Wars: Queef Onasis, A Brave New Cope? Fucking loser.
>>215436164Lame
>>215423020How is this allowed?
>>215426693>thats Elan Makoh oops, i blame the image
>>215433228LOL. He just quit steering and accepted it. His wife must have been insufferable.
>>215433228I miss that little nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>215421161its only 200 laps.

>>215434168Looks like a scaled down cave and the pods were cgi'd in
>>215436875>A male member of the Xamster species, Neva Kee was a podracer pilot who hailed from the planet Xagobah. During the year 32 BBY, Kee was present on the planet Tatooine in order to participate in the Boonta Eve Classic podrace. Flying a purple, inverted, Y-shaped podracer, Kee started on the nearside position of the last row, behind the seventeen other competitors. After the initial ceremonies, race host Jabba the Hutt officially began the Boonta.>Kee fared poorly from the get-go, and was quickly passed by Anakin Skywalker, who had actually stalled on the starting grid and got a late start. During the second lap, Kee flew off of the course in search of a shortcut, only to never be seen again. Following his disappearance, police inspector Tanivos Exantor Divo acquired a hologram image depicting Jabba the Hutt paying bounty hunter Aurra Sing near the crash site of Kee's podracer, while two of Jabba's henchmen pulled Kee out of the wreckage. All identifying authentimarks were scrubbed from the hologram, making the authenticity of the images unclear. Divo also developed a theory that Farwan & Glott, the original manufacturers of Kee's podracer, had hired Sing so that they could acquire the racer's customization secrets, which Kee had never shared.Sounds like it didn't work very well anyway, and he got whacked for his shenanigans
>>215423020Mars Guo was my favourite as a kid because his pod is huge.
>>215421020What are you a fucking communist?
got his ass
>>215436976Serves him right for cheating
>>215437055>multimillion dollar pod racing event with racers traveling from across the galaxy>can't station a few droids along the track to shoot and sand people and protect the racers
>>215437096Tatooine is a corrupt shithole
>>215437096Pod racing isn’t legal in civilized systems.
>>215437096 the sand people add to the fun
>>215421020How can I tell what is and isn't podracing? I wish someone would tell me.
>>215437096Sand "people"
>>215436976Xamster?Great pornos on that holonet site!Can never get enough of the Twi'lek x Rancor category.
>>215436840IT'S OUT?!?
>>215421687more like group b
>>215423020Mars Guo was always the best
>>215423040Hot Shots: Part Deux
>>215423020this was seemingly the most well known Pod Racers in the galaxy and nearly all of them died in a single race. RIP to the podracing market I guess
>>215429923imagine the nipple chaffing
>>215437493twi'leks have evolved to have tougher areola due to how many skimpy clothes they have been forced to wear across the many millennia of slavery
>>215437096that's part of the excitement
>>215437488Bullseye Navior wasn't there, making him the GOAT. Especially since anakin retired.I think like 5 other racers actually finished too but I forget who.
>>215437488Seriously. Do they have a new group of racers every year? Does it really have a 90% death rate and people are still all about signing up?
>>215437096I'm not saying it was Coruscant but you might want to look into their ties with the sand people.
>>215437534man, george thought of everything
>>215434031worth for the kino
>>215435816I remember it being a premium arcade machine asking for double the amount than the usual ones.
>>215437654it all started with there is no underwear in spacesuch a visionary man
>>215437698>Haha! We found the perfect spot to watch the race from! Right behind this barricade with the racers speeding right for us at 500mph!
>>215423739>cool scene>cool toys>cool spinoff video gameI fail to see the issue. Sure it doesn't matter too much for the plot, but what would have been better, scene #127 of debating over the trade blockades?
>>215426973That's probably just because Padme was a lazy and spoiled princess who didn't want to journey through the desert. Mos Espa and Mos Eisley were close enough that Cliegg Lars was able to travel to Espa, buy Shmi from Watto, and take her back to his homestead, despite having no starship of his own. In ANH Luke says farmers can't travel at night due to the threat of Sand people attacks, so Cliegg must have been able to get from Eisley to Espa within the daylight hours of a single desert day. It can't be far.
>>215428389Yeah dude, it's a lawless shithole. I bet if you went to bumfuck Africa you could find some town where there's orphans competing in go kart deathraces because the local warlords have nothing better to do.
Who was the Dale of pod racing?
>>215421020Tatooine isn't about "fair", it's about winning. Don't have big enough engines to win? Enjoy losing, I guess.
>>215426782Why did the artist give Luke a receeded chin?
>>215434412>The dual-throttle control scheme is wild until you get a feel for it.You can get that from the N64 version>The dual controller mode can be activated by entering the RRDUAL cheat code, and is only available on the N64 version of Racer at this time. Player One uses the controllers on jacks one and three, while Player Two uses the controllers on jacks two and four. Dual controller mode allows you to control the thrust of each engine independently. The controls operate as follows: >Accelerate: Left stick up/right stick up >Brake: Left stick down/right stick down >Right Turn: Left stick up/right stick down >Left Turn: Left stick down/right stick up >Tilt Right: Left stick right/Right stick right >Tilt Left: Left stick left/Right stick left >Boost: Z button (either controller) >Repair: R button (either controller)
>>215423285That shade does fuck all
>>215437096And yet only days before Teemto Pagalies had been posting on Holodeck that he was refusing sponsorships from B.B. Netanyahoo and the Iz-rael Confederation...then he alone is targeted by a (((sand-person))) sniper and assassinated during the race. Did you know that the alleged assassin the Tattooine police took in was a foot shorter than the assassin we have footage of? How convenient that the assassin was from a race of people known for covering their faces...
>>215438082Cool it with the antisithmetic remarks
>>215437893>>215437924lawless to a degree, it seems like they don't tolerate too much cheating, and/or wasting the Hutts time with false accusations.Watto felt cheated, aaaannd technically he was, but he wasn't about to bring it up to the Hutts because he had no way of proving it
>>215423020It is amazing that with all the garbage spinoffs Disney made, there was never a podracing show. Huge wasted potential
>>215437997The n64 version runs like complete shit though.Is there a way to do it with the superior pc version?
>>215423192>>215436808
>>215438120It's an open secret that Speaker of the Galatic Senate Jar Jar Binks is a covert Sith master and you still care about these little terminological mindtricks? Get your midicholrian levels checked, man, the force is not with you
>>215437860>can't travel at night due to the threat of Sand people attacksJust like here, crazy.
>>215437824Watch some European races from back in the day.
>>215437698Sebulba ran over three people...
>>215437096It's just a track hazard.
>>215434031Amazing how he kept acting as a stunt double for twenty years after the fact. It really shows that you can do everything if you have the right mindset.
