Teemto was my favourite. Just loved how his podracer looked like. Man, that podracing game makes me realize that I‘m not getting any younger! 😂 Nonetheless, thank you very much for this thorough video - brings back a lot of memories!

@pacificcoastpiper3949 Good catch! His legends stats says he is a Phuii.

I honestly enjoy listening to the obscure stuff in general for Star Wars, especially in Legends. Sebulba buying Anakin's pod and making it one of his own shows a begrudging respect to me, though he definitely wouldn't let that loss go in kept Anakin racing instead of leaving the planet. I mainly came to learn about Gasgano, but hearing about the other racers was fun such as Quadranaros joining despite being out of his depth to win a bet and experiencing the more dangerous half of pod racing. Or the story of the Tyrell family after the Boonta Eve and how they raised awareness of how lethally dangerous pod racing was. For me the pod racers always were interesting because of how slapped together they looked, and the sounds of their engines are something I wouldn't have expected. The pods I like the most are Sebulba's, Neva Kee's, Dud Bolt's, and Ebe Endocott's.

I used Mars Guo exclussively through Ep 1. Iirc he had best acceleration and boost, abit clunky and big but manageable

@Demonkah nice!

I love how much information there is on such obscure characters in Star Wars. My favorite racer was Gasgano when I was a kid, but now I feel more of a soft spot for Ratts Tyerell due to how he died leaving behind a grieving family. It's also interesting to see how Teemto Pagalies (who once bullied him during the race, nearly crashing him into a rock formation), had a change of heart and was kind enough to help Leia get information on Anakin.

Right? So much behind the scenes information! Super cool.

I always raced Teemto Pagalies in the podracing video game so he is my favorite. I liked the look of it and it was skinny enough to fit in tight spaces.

Gasgano was always my favorite just based on the pod design alone. I exclusively used him for every single race for years on the Podracer game and now have only recently decided to use all the other racers out of nastalgia. Pretty cool that he came in 2nd, I don't really remember that part.

Aside from Anakin, I enjoyed racing as Neva Kee in Episode I Racer. His wacky pod had incredible acceleration, and the way he’d give a crazy laugh when he died was infectious…and, perhaps, on-brand.

If you haven't checked out Racer Revenge, that was a super fun sequel! But yes, I'd love to play a modern podracing game!

My personal favorite is still Aldar Beedo since his pod’s design always looked cool and was a personal favorite for me to use in Episode I Racer. Such a shame that we never got a figure sized toy from Hasbro, but thankfully there’s both an official Lego release back in the early 2000’s and a fan made MOC that are worth building. Really cool that he won in 3rd place in this race. My other two favorites aside from Sebulba are Gasgano & Neva Kee. ^-^
