I just puked in my mouth.>> ^CheshireSmile:

i plan to see it solely for the podracing, and what is IMHO the best lightsaber battle in the series.

If Jar Jar could have been done with an incomprehensible language with subtitles then it might have been consistant with the rest of the original star wars films--but consistency wasn't what Georgey was going for. As it stands I still haven't watched the Star Wars Episode Podracer: The CG/Greenscreen Strikes Back! (And I never intend to*.)




*I'm running on the assumption that if you've seen Weird Al's American Pie cover video, and a few other random internet clips, you don't need to sit through episode 1.

I agree 100% with this photo - The first trilogy used technology without showboating. The new trilogy felt more like a showcase for the new technology!

I missed the latex and animatronics, I missed the Yoda puppet, I missed the Jabba puppet. I missed all the wonderful possibilities that modern technology could have done to the model making and creature creation.

I think the dogfights were much more interesting in the new trilogy but that just made them spend too much time on them showing us all the wonderful things they could do. Episode One should have been called "Star Wars: Podracing!"

Indeed. Or that someone posted the german version of the podrace...


Now now, we still get "POODOO!", and honestly, that's all that you really need to hear in this scene.

Shewbox

Yeah, and another possible reference is when he runs through the desert. Looks and sounds like the podracing on Tatooine from "The Phantom Menace".
