I've seen a couple Star Wars fan films, and they were good. When I first saw the trailer for the PODRACER, I got excited and was looking forward to seeing a fan film about Podracing. I was greatly disappointed when I read the description saying that the trailer was the entire fan film. This would have made a great TV series and could have been introduced new fans to the racing sport. Podracers vs Tie-Fighters, now that would have been something to watch. Podracing was only seen once in Episode 1: The Phantom Menace and returned in the 2022 Darth Vader comics. I think it's cool that there are fans who also enjoy Podracing as much as I do and want the racing sport to make a comeback. It would be really great if sometime in the near future, the writers give the racing fans a movie about Podracing. Maybe the plot could be about the person who created the racing sport and how it gathered the first generation of racers. You did a great job with Blender 3D, keep up the good work.
Nice pod. It's interesting; this was a very high-quality video, but got so little traction. I searched after realizing I'd NEVER seen a pod racer fan animation (other than some like 2005 Newgrounds Flash animation or something).
An actual pod racing film would give Disney the excuse to briefly explore new worlds in the Star Wars lore, introduce new characters, alien races, explore the criminal underbelly of the republic (that they horribly tried to do in Book of Boba Fett) and give us more of the single best thing from Episode 1 (besides Duel of the Fates and that lightsaber fight).
Honestly this would make a really good drama series as a stand alone. I love the idea of exploring the inner realities of Star Wars and how there could be a separate story happening amongst the rest of the galaxy.
I was in the fan film making scene in the early 2000s when everyone was blowing minds by rotoscoping light sabre blades into shitty handycam movies......we would have all shit our pants if we knew fan films were going to end up looking this good 😂
This is a way to get George to come back and direct a movie and holy hell it would be the best star wars movie ever. Could you imagine? His writing is perfectly cheesy for a racing movie. Hell a big reason why phantom menace kinda flopped was the over attention to the podracing scene. Very expensive for just 5 minutes, by dude this scene changed cinema. Best racing scene filmed since Grand Prix
I just came here to cry after searching the webs for news on my 20-years long hope for Podracer II (the game) or any Star Wars nod to this absolute undershone diamond of the universe. Dawg, this trailer is awesome, and 1.8K likes pales in contrast to what you deserve
I really like the pod design for your hero. Genuinely looks like he built it out of stuff he found in a junkyard just like Anakin did. I really feel like Disney has let pod racing fade into obscurity. It's sad because you can have heroes in sports.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I would watch the hell out of this, and start a RU-vid channel geeking out about it and it's parallels to the really old comic book series.
This trailer brought me back to my childhood memories of watching phantom menace on VHS, well done lad, really brought me to my core with this one. You got big plans for the future my guy 🙏
