Every canon Boonta Eve Podracer explained

In Star Wars the phantom menace we saw the amazing pod racing sequence of the boonta eve classic. This race included many interesting characters with interesting stories to look at so today I'm covering every canon pod racer in the boonta eve classic race we saw in the phantom menace.

Can't thank you enough for actually letting us hear Mars Guos famous RAAAWWRRRRGHGHHHH instead of dubbing over it like all other clips 🤣🤣😉

[@richardwestmoreland6]

RIP Ratts Tyrell - Pretty cold of the writer to have his family at the race, and have the announcers introduce them to the crowd, only tro have him fly into a stalagtite at full speed and vaporise. SQUEEEEEEEE

[@carguy_rz]

Every time a background character's family/backstory gets introduced in a movie or game, you know he's gonna die.😂

[@Dormazain]

No worries, they picked that up in a comic and sold his daughter off to slavery afterwards, because wtf anyway.

[@minicle426]

Fond memories of these guys from the Episode 1 Racer game.

[@VaultHolocron]

I bought that game not too long ago, in the may 4th sale. It’s fun and quite good for the time it was made. Also it’s cool to see all of the racers from the phantom menace represented in game.

[@MrFluffytheTurtle]

Wait Quadrinaros is actually fast!? That's awesome hahaha Tyrrell's crash is actually upsetting, one of the only pure racing pilots in the race.

[@VaultHolocron]

The whole Ben Quadinaros thing surprised me too. Also it’s very sad that they established that Tyerell had a family, including his children. I’m not surprised they removed them before releasing the movie even though reference books did later make them canon.

[@jesusvera7941]

in the game "SW episode 1 racers" Quadrinaros pod racer is the last unlockable podracer and is the fastest reaching over 1000 speed units, which is as fast as a tie fighter in the void, for comparison anakin podracer goes around 450 units in his default configuration and fully upgrated barely reaches 800, it is important to clarify that the turning capabilities and boosting power of this podracer(quadrinaros) are also very good for a podracer this fast, the disadvantage of this craft is its fragility, lots of improvised repairments must be done for a player who crash very often or overheat the engines with the boost.

[@IHeliosI]

Well yeah has 4 engines on his pod racer.

[@VestedUTuber]

His crash is also kinda contrived. He crashed because he wasn't paying attention to where he was going. A completely rookie mistake for a career racer.

[@X333Dylan333X]

I swear if I hear "In the Boonta eve classic we saw in the phantom menace" one more time

[@Nakatomi_Kagehisa]

Hahahaha i noticed that too This could be used for a drinking game

[@shef_ratte]

1:20 I saw in another video that Sebulba actually purchased Anakin's pod after the race, as a replacement for his destroyed pod

[@potluck5896]

Bro was a Nuknog from Sump, I've never laughed so hard

[@matthew_thefallen]

I remember playing the Pod racer PC game and still remember all the stats of the podracers! Quadinaros was kinda fast, even Clegg Holdfast (which was my favourite podracer in the game)

[@josue6167]

Mars Guo was my favorite racer. I loved when the announcer used to say “Just look at the size of those engines”

[@the_real_Kurt_Yarish]

Thank you for covering the story of the sex icon that is Ben Quadinaros. What a hunk! But really, I love the offbeat designs of these alien characters, I wish Stars Wars would present designs like these front-and-center more often.

[@LairofGri3vous]

That's true, Ben quadraneros is known for his good looks

[@andrewaccount954]

He also looks like a female yohoo

[@user-vj6qt2xy1j]

Always love Teemeto’s racer design, it seemed the most practical considering the tight spaces you’re going through at such high speed. Mars Guo’s huge racer has danger written all over it.

[@richardkolarik4820]

So much backstory just on the podracers. Amazing video.

[@amezcarl]

Your video is one of KZbin's most complete, almost documentary-style videos. Congrats. Liked and Subscribed. Well done, bro.

[@VaultHolocron]

Thank you! I’m happy you liked this exploration of the pod racers. They’re a part of the Star Wars universe which I think is really interesting and would love to see more on.

[@tscharnag]

I think sebulba is an awesome character to bad we didnt see more of him

[@intorsusvolo7834]

Mars Guo was my favorite to play in the games, because his pod racer is the biggest (even bigger than Sebulba’s :9)

[@VaultHolocron]

Star Wars podracer really is a great game. It’s so good seeing all the racers from the phantom menace in the game and it’s a concept that translates really well from screen to game.

[@paulcreed-r2n]

I'm kit bashing a pod racer out of VW Bug with a roof chop & a Ju 88A-4 for the engines ...........i have not seen any landing gear pics as they all needed working on!!! Great upload & subbed.

[@justcallmexen]

Having the Episode 1 Racer guide, I thought I had been pretty in the know about many of the racers, with little profile blurbs about many of them. I also seemed to recall that it was Sebulba who bought Anakin's pod racer seeing as he was no longer going to be needing it, and his own was destroyed. I guess that is no longer considered to be canon.

[@BatSnakegirl]

“His wife just came out of the hospital” was just the biggest spell of doom for Ratts Tyrell. You can even catch a glimpse of his family after the race a little bit later

[@TankJockey38]

I figured Vader would've killed sebulba when he killed watto

[@VestedUTuber]

I find it funny and disappointing that DisneyCanon just gave Sebulba another orange-and-black Plug-F Mammoth when in TPM Qui-Gon states that he sold Anakin's pod to, and I quote, "a very irate dug" which is obviously Sebulba. That shows how little Disney actually cares about continuity.

[@Lynxdoc]

Ben always cracked me up. He reminded me of Humpty Dumpty

[@ashockmizer914]

9:10 this scene is my family part 😂😂😂😂

[@theshades5702]

Wasn't super comprehensive for Teemto Pagalies, he also had a severe drinking problem, would regularly claim his species can drink 5x as much as any being 3x his height, he was even heavilly drunk during the Boonta Eve Classic

[@theshades5702]

Also Clegg Holdfast crashed during the race when Sebulba lit his engines up with his pod's flamethrowers, despite his pod being unable to cross the finish line he was given honourary last place behind the actual surviving racers to complement the journalistic piece he was writing about the race itself

[@theshades5702]

Also there was another racer referenced by one source as being present in the Boonta Eve Classic that is likely a mistake, in the Episode 1 game Fode and Bede can be heard referencing Bozzie Baranta, a racer who otherwise only appeared in the Episode 1 Racer game for the N64

[@landonrivers]

"Boles Roor was a Sneevel from Sneeve" fucking made me choke. These names hahahha

[@ManuelRodrigues1024]

amazing video, much information, i love the podracing, is like F1 but even cooler

[@VaultHolocron]

Thank you! I agree podracing is so cool. Definitely an absolutely amazing part of the phantom menace.

[@domiraessb]

Nice coverage of the pod racers. As someone who cares far too much about pod racing, it was good to hear some details beyond just stats in a video game with regards to the racers themselves haha. Ben Quadinaros too OP tho, at least in the game I come from that is

[@VaultHolocron]

Thank you. It’s interesting how many of the racers have been added to in many ways in canon. Also I love the designs for all the racers, they’re very unique and interesting.

[@Saimeren]

Was it Dud Bolt that was a hitman and Bodyguard? I thought it was Aldar Beedo. If memory serves me right, he was hired to assassinate Sebulba on the track, but was impressed with the Dug's racing and tenacity and instead decided to become Sebulba's personal bodyguard and would race along side Sebulba and protect him as his wingman.

[@DemiDogg]

They both ended up being bodyguards for him in that race. Elan Mak was solely there to assassinate sebulba but he never managed to catch up

[@vectro4284]

Such a shame most of the podracers don’t have a Lego set.. I’ve got the Mos Espa podrace set tho and it’s a great display 😄

[@VaultHolocron]

Yeah, the podracers all looked so coo! and it really would have been interesting to see how they would be adapted into Lego.

[@vectro4284]

@@VaultHolocron True, in the new Lego Star Wars game you can see them too but not good enough to re-create them.

[@theshades5702]

There was a set for Aldar Beedo and Mawhonic's racers that i got (no longer have it, kinda wish i did)

[@vectro4284]

@@theshades5702 7186 Watto’s Junkyard, i want that set so bad 🥲

[@OwenF-q3o]

Gasgano came second and Aldar Beedo came third? Impressive! I never knew that!

[@fidan2fast]

Pagalies was my favotite pod racer in the Pod racer game

[@Saimeren]

"In the Boonta Eve classic race we saw in the Phantom Menace"

[@parkerbob99]

In the video games. Neva Kee is my favorite!!!

[@evanforst7272]

Mars guo couldve survived. In the shot where his pod flies above anakin its in a similar position to sebulbas in his crash. I think he makes it

[@tfuentes_3]

Fun fact: Sebulba shouts “shit” in huttese 😂

[@ashockmizer914]

For Chester's crime doesn't pay

[@OwenF-q3o]

Where did you learn this stuff about Neva Kee? and where is the footage from of that officer?

[@VaultHolocron]

The stuff about Neva Kee comes from multiple reference books, but it’s summed up quite nicely on his wookieepedia article. Also the picture of Tan Divo is from the reference book, Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy’s Most Notorious, and can also be found on his wookieepedia article

[@suicunesolsan]

I can't find Mars in this video...

[@basementrat66]

Нифига себе, как прописаны космические осьминоги в детском фильме. Я удивлён!

[@timbartschwolfman]

I like Dud Bolt

[@ashockmizer914]

Poor little Ratts Tyerell 🪦

[@elainesauerwein2858]

My favorite pod racer is gas gano

[@VaultHolocron]

Great choice! I love gasgano. I like the design and he’s quite a good racer

[@BSSNV2947]

Mine is Ebe Endecott. I really mained him in Episode 1 Racer

[@georgea.williams4637]

15:06 yeri mua 😂😂😂😂

[@nightelfuser]

Now I wish Lucasfilm had explored a show centered around pod racing. Sadly, it's a gender that is hardly ever explored in American TV shows.

[@SinShadowed]

aint no way Teemto Pangiles should have survived that crash. his cock pit spinning like that wouldve been fatal

[@evanforst7272]

Fatal to species that can’t handle high g forces. If you can take the g’s then you’re fine

[@theshades5702]

His species is apparently very resistant to the effects of inertia, g-force etc. Is his cliams are to be believed his species also has an alcahol tolerance x5 as strong as any being 3x their height, though he made this claim while drunk and was even drunk DURING the Boonta Eve Classic Race

[@christopherstehn]

just like nhra and nscar others

[@doubletakebroom]

Literally put it at 1.25x speed because you talk so slow 😐

[@billgates3699]

‼️I’ll explain them even faster than this video can: it’s fiction and you need a life 😘
