There’s an episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson goes round the Nuerberg Ring in a fast car and boasts about his time. Sabine Schmitz who was a frequent collaborator and Neurberg Ring specialist said it was pathetic and that she could beat it in a van. So they set that up in a future episode - her in a shitty box Transit trying to beat his time.
She came very very close, although she was off by a fraction of a second.
The point is that perhaps Anni’s skill was demonstrated because he only drove shit…
Fixing them up is half the fun!
The misconception in the future is the force was a mystical entity with a light and dark side. On earth we knew that was just duct tape and spray foam.
I always kept duct tape and a few wire coat hangers in my old beaters, because you can fix anything with duct tape and wire coat hangers. They saved me, and occasionally friends, many times.
He’s more tape now, than car… Twisted, and evil.
Parked next to his busted ass speeder, too!
I didn’t know that I could experience sympathetic pain for a car, but apparently, I can.
But he came back and that’s the important part
i mean, i was the unnofficial (fuck it i have a cold) IT guy at this one accounting firm. i was running XP because our work softwware ran better on XP. As everyone’s boxes breoke, they got vista (fuck vista) and then 7. I was still running XP. finally i just asked my boss for a 7 box because i was running it at home. he said i was still running xp because i had kept it going so long and they all had a bet to see how long i could do it. kind of like a death pool. since i’d outlasted it by an operating system (they were expecting sometime during vista) i could get myself the fanciest rig i wanted. i asked him if he’d buy me an extra monitor for here and home, and since i’d saved him so much money on hardware upgrades he said yes. i fucking loved that job.
but yeah, that’s why it makes sense to me.
Best Pilot, not best mechanic
The kid did build a podracer in a cave with a box of scraps.
It barely finished single race and had trouble to even start.
How good could you do on a slave’s salary?
He had a whole junkyard full of extremely obscure tech to himself.
He wasn’t in a cave! He did that shit right outside in the open!
He’s not Tony Stark!
Couldn’t even silence the obnoxious breathing on that suit.
I’m not sure. If I had been burned as severely as Darth Vader, I would also leave my breathing apparatus on the loud setting.
He did that so no one could tell when he was wacking off.
Why would he?
Loud breathing is way more intimidating and creepy compared to quiet breathing.
How do we know he could hear it?
Yeah, but see… He made it back. None of the other star pilot’s ships are still in mostly one piece.
Another happy landing.
Its like car racing today- sometimes being the best isn’t being technically perfect, but just knowing how close you can push your machine to the brink of failure without actually disabling it.
Just get the car to the winner’s circle. Everything after is the mechanics’ problem!
That’s always been racing
Or like 2nd Lt. Frank Luke. Most of his planes looked like that when he was done.
No one would follow that car too closely. That’s a good thing.
I mean, when the rest of every wing/squadron/etc. you’ve been a part of is essentially ablative armor for your plotline… 🫣🤷🏼♂️
You should see the other guys ship…oh wait
“Another happy parking.”
