We’ll be coming back for his mom, right master?
He knows that
a) pod racing brings other good stuff (tourism, commerce, street vendors).
b) the pod racing industry are wealthy and can take the hit. Rather than betting against other gamblers he’s betting against bookies (the gambling industry).
c) homegrown hero stories bring the planet closer to supporting rebellion politics.
Aren’t the rebels the bad guys at that point? You know, with the whole gassing thing? The rebellion against the Galactic Empire doesn’t exist, seeing how the Galactic Empire doesn’t even exist yet.
IIRC they called the bad guys the Separatists in that movie.
“I’m not your Palawan, buddy!”
IIRC, you don’t need the force to cheat at Sabbac. Just need to be the main character who goes first
But then we wouldn’t have a cool pod-racing scene!
as a child it was cool. as an adult it’s just sooooooo loooooooong…
I saw the movie in the theater during the original run. I have a copy on VHS, and I have a copy on DVD. The version on the DVD is longer and adds NOTHING, it’s more footage of the same shit happening.
Fuck I miss seeing things as a child…
Or the n64 cash grab game! (That I actually kinda liked)
The PC pod racing game was fun. At least, I thought it was at the time.
“What if we just let George do whatever he wants and nobody says anything?”

Oh, people said things. But he just told them off and did what he was going to do anyways.
Like when he wanted cgi troopers for attack of the clones. Everyone told him it was going to be costly, look worse than real actors, and be time consuming. He stuck his feet in the sand and they did it anyways.
Yes, and that’s why you’re the nerd Padawan and I’m the cool, hotshot Jedi Knight
