Our take on STAR WARS™ Episode I Racer
Podracing replaces conventional race cars with twin-engine vehicles and turns the course itself into a major threat. Instead of treating hazards as scenery, it makes methane lakes, meteor showers, tunnels, and enemy attacks central to reaching the finish.
What is STAR WARS™ Episode I Racer?
Pilot Anakin Skywalker or one of more than 21 pod racers in high-speed races across 8 worlds and over 21 tracks.
Vehicles use twin jet engines and reach simulated speeds of up to 600 mph. Courses include hazards such as methane lakes, meteor showers, antigravity tunnels, and attacks by Tusken Raiders.
