I appreciate all the views and feedback guys! A new video is IN THE WORKS, out soon... be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it! (it's a good one i think ;)

JESUS CHRIST IT WAS ONE GIANT TOYOTA COMMERCIAL

I failed this race so many times in LEGO Star Wars

Can we just appreciate the raw speed of Anakin's podracer? He started FOURTEEN seconds after everyone else, and immediately caught up. There is no reason the race should have been as close as it was.

My teacher: why are you laughing? Me: nothing My brain: POG racing

"If he doesn't slow down, he'll be in the ravine!" *falls down into ravine*

When I was a kid.. I didnt know what the bad guy had broken in Anakin's pod racer.. might be something important.. when I was an Adult now I realize it's a capacitor.. like for single phase motor to it run like a 3 phase without having a 3rd source of power.. when it fell it turned to single phase, thus making the motor vibrate and won't spin because it doesn't know which direction it would rotate to and starting to overheat because of friction.. then he made the motors into series and share the last capacitor in order to make the broken motor to run.. by overdrive even for a short while.. making them both run just to finish the race.. sorry for being a nerd

Can I just point out how unbelievably fast his pod would have to be? He stalled for like 10 seconds, and still reached top position before the halfway point..

This race in Lego Star wars was the bane of everyone's existence

When you gotta deliver tofu to Mos Eisley.

“I’ll try drifting, that’s a neat trick!”

Adding the car sounds in enhanced this so much - props to you man

This movie came out almost 22 years ago...and yes, CGI was still in its infancy, but we could enjoy this spectacle in 1999...still love it.

This is why the pod racing scene didn't have music. The devs foresaw this.

1:46 a real man starts at his own time

the feeling when this song fits well everywhere

Everybody : Starts at the same time The kid : " I'm just giving you a head start. "

Hello I'm a kid who likes pod racing *_15 years later_* Hello I'm a dark lord that destroys planets

padme after that be like: " *next thing i knew, i was pregnant* "

Padme: "Ani, come over." Anikan: "Can't, I'm busy." Padme: "Obi-wan's not home." Anikan: 1:48

The fact they used F1 cars for these sound effects makes this music even more epic to me!!

The Proof that Qui gon could have been a better teacher for Anakin than Obi Wan. Just with one Touch Qui Gon granted him the power of *DORIFTO*

I see that the Japanese version of the Phantom Menace is indeed the superior version. XD

I absolutely adore the engine sounds podracers make; just the start-up noises alone make the technophile part of my brain go "MMMMMMMM....YES!!!!"

*Running from one side of the gym to the other in gym class* What it looked like: Kids running What it felt like:

You'd think races with a 25% casualty rate and minimal rewards would run out of participants.

When you've gotta escape slavery at 4 and deliver Tofu to the Jedi Temple at 5.

4:29 that guitar solo was perfectly time💯💯💯🔥

No matter how bad the prequels were, this scene was epic. And Gas Gas Gas only made it better. Thank you for creating this masterpiece.

Takumi Fujiwalker

(5:18) That syncing, though.

Probably my favorite scene in the whole Skywalker Saga. I'm a huge racing fan. To me, this is a certified Star Wars classic.

Anikin's engine making smoke is actually probably the biggest advantage he had, other than skill since he could blinded bad guy with the smoke,causing bad guy to crash

No George you can’t just combine Star Wars with your love of racing. “Ha pod racers go vsssshh”

I'm late to the party, but did y'all ever think... what if he hadn't stalled at the start? I mean, it would have been a very comfortable win...

The guitar intro combined with the sound of revving engines is just orgasmic

It has been years and people still look out at this. There is so much energy in this video still after 4 years

Yep. Eurobeat with pod racers. You just won the internet my friend.

ultra fast space tofu delivery

The toyota ad at the end makes this the greatest video on youtube.

0:29 I wasn’t paying attention and I thought Batman ran across my screen

The speed chime, the random Initial D lines, everything about this video is awesome. I hope this video goes viral.

TOY YODA LETS GO PLACES

The fate of the galaxy changed with this race

This makes me remember that REALY old Pod Racer game for the N64. Despite not being very good at the game at the time, I had quite a lot of fun customizing my Pod Racer...

When Subulba keeps crashing other pods: Anakin: I'm pissed off. He did that on purpose!!

It’s funny because Anakin would later kill a whole village of sand people _as well._

"Now THIS, is Podracing"

The power of the Dorifto will never fail

Remember, concentrate on the race. Feel, don't think. Trust your instincts. And don't spill the water in the cup otherwise you'll ruin the tofu

Actually, according to statistics, podrace scene is in top 5 favorite scenes from all SW movies for many fans.

This video will age like a fine bottle of wine

Newton's fourth law of motion: If Eurobeat is played for you during any racing event, you are 10 billion percent guaranteed a speed-boost of 10 trillion percent.

Way back in the upper coliseum seats, Bunta lights another cigarette. ... He is not impressed.

When you order one-day shipping

Honestly pod racing would be so f*cking cool in the real world

this was perfect in everyway.

Holy shit this was fucking PERFECT.

A simple man would've simply put the music over the scene. You did an amazing edit, with a LOT of attention to detail!

I spent my last few minutes of 2020 watching this at home with my dog and drinking schnapps, best news years ever!!

Even though this is a meme, the incredible sound of that 4age revving still gives me goosebumps!

I want to live in the alternate universe where Star Wars was a racing anime.

NOW THIS THIS, IS PODRACING

Imagine how fun that would be in real life. So fast 3:54

That ending though lol 😂, now this is a commercial I won't get tired of listening to it.

Let's be honest, pod racing was always the highlight of the Phantom Menace, and this only made it better.

Skywalker Dorifto?

The guitar solo while he's in the air is just so nice

"Real men start in their own time"

*NOW THIS IS POD RACING*

"he'll be in the ravine!" -> goes into the ravine lol

Now THIS is podracing

The music makes the scene much better than it already is

Bruuuuuhhh. This scene just grew 10x more intense than the first time I watched it as a kid. xD

Toyoda AE86

This music actually fits so well for the comtext of the scene.

This music fits extremely well with the podrace!

i was watching this in class a year ago and i got caught by a student and we both started watching it. Thats friendship, Kids

The Phantom Drifting Attack of the Cars Revenge of the Night Kids A New Drift The Sidewinder Strikes Back Return of the Tofuboi The Gas Awakens The Last Tofuboi The Rise of Fujiwara

Palpatine: *looks into vaders memory* Also palpatine: damn you are on hell of a racer Vader: thx

love how u can hear his dashboard beeping, you can tell hes going over 100km/h

Spoiler! It's a commercial for Toyota!

3:17 Y E S I M G O N N A P L E A S U R E Y O U

Can we take a moment and respect the raw power of these edits? The fact that 22Tech put in the game turning beeps with clips from the anime as well as the takedown song... common now... I'm deffo subbing.

this is the most epic thing I’ve ever seen in my life

*NANI KANSEI DORIFTO ?!*

You may be onto something here. Memes used to be simple. Relatable. Worth a chuckle. Then they evolved. New formats, new tag lines, new content that was then turned into a new meme. Then memes became increasingly meta and self reflective. They parodied themselves and the users who both made them and consumed them. They built off of one another. They grew. They morphed into something entirely novel. This progressed to the point where even that wasn't enough. They had to become something more than themselves. They became surreal. They became deep fried and nuked. Each flavor building off of the last and transforming into a nearly intangible, unknown entity. Art progressed in a similar fashion. Started off simple, I'm talking cave drawing simple. Then some pottery and some small abstract sculptures. Subjects everyone could relate to and understand. Then, as technology allowed for the creation of cultures and societies, art began to reflect that change and it evolved along with it. By the Ancient Greeks and Romans, art had become a more advanced version of the Stone and Bronze Age arts. Better drawings, paintings, and the addition of mosaics. Sculptures eventually shifted from stylistic expression to naturalistic representation. Still accessible to everyone, yet more nuanced and complex. After the fall of Rome art stagnated and didn't change very much for nearly a millennium. Early Christian art dominated for the most part, consisting of murals and frescos and simple statues. All of which were based on the Ancient styles. Romanesque and Gothic art also built upon these precedents. This all changed when the Renaissance attacked. A cultural explosion changed the art world forever; arguably starting with the Italian artist, Giotto. He began using techniques like foreshortening and linear perspective so that the material world could be represented as it appeared to us. A callback to the naturalistic stylings of the Greeks. Almost like a reference to the days of yore. A celebration of how art used to be, but with the explosion of new techniques and technologies, the art grew increasingly diverse. New and improved frescoes, meticulously crafted sculptures, architectural marvels and the inclusion of new materials in these works. Instead of tempera, oil was introduced along with new styles of depicting light and shadow through sfumato and chiaroscuro. These techniques and stylistic changes, while impressive, were simply an advancement of pre established art. The Renaissance paved the way for the explosion and diversification of dozens of art movements that followed. From prehistoric art to the end of the Renaissance, art was mostly about the same subjects and used similar techniques to accomplish the goal of producing a work of art. Yes, the technical proficiency exponentially improved but considering the centuries in between, few true advancements were made. Compare this to memes. They were so simple at first and really were nothing more. Then they got better. More technical. More circumstantial. More media to create them with. But memes could last years or many months before dying off. As time went on, the longevity of a meme shortened. This is paralleled in the art world. After the Renaissance the Baroque period started. Then the Neo-Classicism, Romantic, Realism, and Impressionism movements not long after. Still utilizing the same technical process but the reasoning behind the movements changed. No longer was it about simply depicting the world around us, it was about prompting the viewer to consider new thoughts and ideas. Urging them to look past the image and think deeper about meaning and context. Pushing the boundaries of what art could be. The Baroque to Impressionism era spanned roughly 300 years. Compare that to the thousands of years between archaic art and the Renaissance. It was a huge explosion of self expression. Finally, in the mid to late 19th century starting with Post-Impressionism, Modern art emerged. This movement focused on self-consciousness, self-reference, introspection, existentialism, and even nihilism. I'm talking Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, Dada, Abstract Expressionism, and Surrealism to name the most well known. These styles changed what art could be. They were no longer about depicting life as is, or layering a painting with hidden motifs for only the privileged to understand, they were in and of themselves absurd. Abstract shapes, aggressive lines and colors, nonsensical dreamscapes. But it didn't stop there. Post-modernism. Pushing art to the limit of its potential. Pop art, Conceptual art, Minimalism, Fluxus, Installation art, Lowbrow art, Performance art, Digital art, Earth art. These movements are about skepticism, irony, rejecting grand narratives and reason and instead embracing the idea that knowledge and truth are the result of social, historical, and political discourse and subsequently are a subjective, social construct. It's irreverent and self-referential. It's avant-garde pushed to 11. But what's next? Post-postmodernism? Metamodernism? Hypermodernity? Who knows? Only time will tell. This is where memes are headed. They started off slow but have picked up so much momentum they're evolving at an exponential pace. They used to hang around for a couple years at most. Then it turned to months. Then maybe only one month. Suddenly it was a week tops. While some particularly great memes do still stick around much like the masterpieces of art in the past, new memes are created every day, every few hours. New movements of memes are being created all the time. Anti-memes. Dank memes. Abstract memes. Wholesome memes. Surreal memes. Deep fried memes. Nuked memes. Even black hole memes, time travel, and dimensional memes are now a reality. What's going to happen next? A return to the classics? A new format so brilliant it steals all our hearts and then starts a whole new movement? I'm excited for the future of memes.

I don't care what anyone says. Podracing has always been awesome!

I love how m.o.v.e kicks in whenever someone explodes LOL

May the eurobeat be with you.

I: The Drifting Menace II: The Drift of The Clones III: The Race of The Sith IV: A New Drift V: The Empire Races Back VI: Return of The Race VII: The Force Drifts VIII: The Last Drift IX: Race of Skywalker

It’s all so perfectly timed!

That "rage your dream" caught me off guard 😭😂

This is why we need another Pod Racing game.

I love how both times he says "Do you like... my car?" Anakin's podracer is breaking down somehow lmao. This is WAY too perfect. Flat out amazing.

Keep in mind, this isn’t the first time Anakin ever raced, just the first race he won, let alone finished

Let us appreciate the fact if Anakin didn't have that bad start, he would have dusted every racer off the start line and been in the lead the entire race. He made up a -20 time gap from last place to third in TEN SECONDS.

Something about combining the sounds of a car motor booking it hard and the heavy hums of the pod racers make these things so much more badass

This just makes me realize how great a Fast and Furious style podracing spinoff movie would be

This perfectly explains what people at Red Bull do for the ads.
