Podracing II

Can you believe there is actually going to be podracing in AOTC? Go over to starwars.com and go to the Jedi Council where they answer questions from fans. One guy asked if there was going to be a podrace sequence in AOTC. The answer was Yes.

Well, since were talking pod race.....to all the people who know the movie "flåklypa grand prix"...(most norwegians i guess)
George Lucas has actually admited that he got the podrace idea from flåklypa!!!

I didn`t know that.

I say that`s some pride.

What is flaklypa?

personally i would have liked to have seen something new. podracing...eh...its been done 😛.

Yeah but maybe it will be even better this time.

flåklypa is a norwegian movie....check it out in imdb.com

"Flåklypa Grand Prix"

well, it's only going to be in the background, I think, probably on Tatooine again...

Most likely, but it would be cool if it was on one of the planets listed in the Episode I: Racer game

Or the sequel.

Well, that has to be the most succint JC answer ever! But I agree, this is almost certainly a background detail.

I just want to know if they mention it at all in the movie.

Maybe Anakin takes Padme there to watch a race.

good chance for that

It most likely won't happen but it would be nice if it would

I bet for Tatooine like I said in my first post...

Spoiler:
you can't expact to podrace in the rain or on a planet that likes to kill Jedi...

True but

Spoiler:
I thought they don't start to kill the Jedi until after Palpy says that he is the Emperor.

well, they already have a form of entertainment there 🙂 so two won't be fair

Two won't be fair for what? Two races on the same planet in the same movie series?

and two Jedis on Tatooine is fair?

If they have another Pod race, that's dumb. That can't be true.

Well, pods will definitely be seen, the sirte says so and it wouldn't give an answer like that without being certain.

But they are almost certainly just a background etail; we won;t be following a whole race again

think that there will be only two orso in the background

because nobody knew this, we can say the pods are clearly cg
