Proving himself as the only human on Tatooine adept at Pod race piloting, Anakin Skywalker deservedly takes the lead in the Boonta Eve competition, but that no-good-cheating 'slimo' rival of his in Sebulba is never too far behind, in this great art for an EPISODE I storybook of a few years back.
'I came up with idea of pod racing, which is in the vein of chariot racing. Instead of horses I used jet engines. It's the kind of thing I would liked to have done when I was racing cars. I think that's what it all comes down to in the end- to have two engines and be able to control them at 500 miles an hour.'
