Racing Into Laguna Caves

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace

One of the things I love about doing this is spotting something new that I never noticed before - like the wrecked podracer on the side of the cave entrance!

Here's a great close-up shot of the wrecked podracer from page 172 of Creating the Worlds of Star Wars 365 Days by John Knoll, along with the note that it was intended to be an old accident that occurred a while ago and was left there!

Oh My, Space Travel Sounds Rather Perilous

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 00:54:20

The orange colored podracer engines on the left sort of resemble the secondary thrusters on Mawhonic’s pod, but a different configuration. The one on top seems to have an angled fin coming off of it. (Photos from Star Wars Chronicles: the Prequels)

You What?

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 00:53:03

This is a quick diagram I put together to show (as far as I can tell from shots from the movie and behind the scenes and production stills) as to the lineup of Podracers in the Pit Hangar.

Some of these, such as the duplicate (but backwards-facing) Plug-2 Behemoth may be backups for the racers. Especially since the other one shares Sebulba's racing colors. (Seen here in this photo from Episode I snapshot from StarWars.com on 10/15/99)

Good Going, Ani!

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:10:09

A few more podracers here that don’t look like they belonged to any of the racers in the Boonta Eve. Middle may be a KV9T9-B Wasp like Clegg Holdfast’s, but a different turbine.

The podracer on the far right I can’t place, it seems to have some “spikes” sticking out of its air intakes, which would be a fun parallel to real-life chariots in gladiatorial games.
