podracing sports movie about the rise and fall of sebulba and I'm not fucking kidding

Reposted from Owen Likes Comics

Genuine question - if you were the new head of LucasFilm, what would you do to revitalise the Star Wars franchise?

The only sound in the entire 90 second teaser trailer is his signature engine thump.

I'd fucking lose my mind

Death race 2000 podracing

lordravenscraft.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Speed Racer but aliens, i'm so in

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•15 hours ago

Prolly won't reach those dizzying highs but few movies can, speed racer kicks so much ass

toasty.cx•15 hours ago

What if it was the movie Rush from '13 but Star Wars

toasty.cx•15 hours ago

Sebulba can be Nikki Lauda all obsessed with winning and we figure someone out to be James Hunt the lovable playboy

bluebookvalue.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Ben Quadinaros for sure

toasty.cx•14 hours ago

He does have the raw sexual energy needed, that's true

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•15 hours ago

Yeah exactly

realchrispeterson.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Fuck this is good. His rise from a likeable underdog to the top of his sport, then brought down by greed and cynicism.

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•15 hours ago

wouldn't have to be sebulba but I think it makes most sense to set it before anakins podracing antics in ep 1 so we can learn about dud bolt and ben quadinaros. Could even make it a serialized drive to survive style show

edgarallanbro.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I was about to say, I want a podracing film/series that follows the mighty Dud Bolt

goghoti.bsky.social•14 hours ago

oh, I don't care what galaxy you're from, that's gotta hurt!

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•14 hours ago

FUCK

YOU'RE SO RIGHT

The thing is like, star wars is primed for other genre films. Solo would have ripped if it was just fast and the furious - this is why people love the extended universe novels and shit

toasty.cx•15 hours ago

I still think if it was just the train heist with Lando and there wasn't the origin story and Kessel Run shit, it would have been sick as hell

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•15 hours ago

Yeah exactly, shoulda just been one heist, Italian job or F&F style

toasty.cx•14 hours ago

omg Italian job but with hover speeders like Luke had

helashandproductions.com•11 hours ago

I’d watch the hell out of that

Another one-

Hard Knocks: Preseason with the Coruscant Cavaliers

skybridge-sound.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Shitpost answer but could be legitimately interesting: How does a sports league work when everyone is a droid? How are they drafted? Can their ability/stats be shifted? How does that affect gameplay? Are they paid? How do trades work? There's a lot there in that stupid idea

skybridge-sound.bsky.social•12 hours ago

I would imagine a "football team" being more like Formula 1 in that respect where the organizations are competing to make the best football-machine possible, with the guideline that they're all playing the same game following the same rules

skybridge-sound.bsky.social•12 hours ago

You could have an older model fighting to retain their spot (their experience being more valuable than new tech)

You could cover a points-shaving scandal (how do you do that with droids)

The coaches also being droids would also be amazing. Imagine LOM-BARD1 coming back for one last title

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•11 hours ago

This is such a good idea. I love Sci fi sports and this is such an underutilized area in star wars

skybridge-sound.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Pod racing sports movie

Horror movie about someone discovering they have the force but having no idea what it is

skybridge-sound.bsky.social•15 hours ago

hearing people’s thoughts, seeing the future, having no control over telekenisis is body horror and I’m surprised no one has got there yet

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•15 hours ago

OH SHIT. no this is really good, the first force user

skybridge-sound.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Then one completely non war or non jedi focused one that’s just Wall Street but in space. Show some boring wheeling and dealing and a “normal persons” aspirations in the universe-not everyone is in the empire or a revolutionary

skybridge-sound.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Or better: it’s about someone opening/running a cantina. Just make cheers…as long as it’s not THE cantina because that would get old fast

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•15 hours ago

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH. And if we wanna do THE cantina, why not a behind the music on fig'rin dan and the modal nodes in the style of walk hard

skybridge-sound.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I would be TERRIFIED if I just waved my hand and my friend flew back against the wall one day

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•15 hours ago

Buying a meal and the server going blank faced and saying 'your money is no good here, enjoy'

skybridge-sound.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I’m also realizing this idea is just “Carrie: In space”

sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com•15 hours ago

Lmao I mean, nothing wrong with that
