Jason does have his helmet on dad!

The pod race scene of The Phantom Menace was an awesome sight!

The flaw in your plan Jason, is that you have no control of the engines… especially if Page were one of the drivers…

Paige is only 14, baslim, so she doesn’t drive yet. Peter’s the one who drives like a maniac every time he gets behind the wheel.

I’m almost surprised his wagon doesn’t say “iFlyer” or at least “Laptop Flyer.”

Awesome scene indeed…you can see why young Anakin would say, “I’m the only human who can do it.” Only a human with Jedi reflexes would try to pull off that stunt.

I just watched a Star Wars marathon on Spike TV on Sunday… Every episode was playing… That race was pretty cool…

Now if only the young Vadar actors could have actually acted…

Get Peter to do it. You’ll jump to Light Speed for sure.

“if they could only have acted…” Meaning no negative criticism, but I wonder now (after a lot of study of personality types) what that sort of conclusion’s really supposed to mean. Not everyone can, or should, be psychodramatic in their acting.

The problem was putting the young Anakin Skywalkers up against James Earl Jones, who (even through a black armor Darth Vader suit and a voiceover dub) is supremely psychodramatic. :)

All right, little Jedi. Peter can drive you, Ani.
