Podracing scenes with "Kickstart My Heart"

Anakin Skywalker's pod race edited to fit Mötley Crüe's 1989 single "Kickstart My Heart"
Dedicated to my father for being a wonderful example growing up. It's thanks to him I've grown up with a cultured taste in music and he's helped me brainstorm a number of video ideas including this one.

Now this is Podracing! Sadly what didn't make the Pod Race, is two video edits that were blocked upon upload (The first was Boba Fett set to 'Shoot to Thrill' due to the music, and the second was my Ahsoka Fight Part 2 set to 'Seven Nation Army' due to the video content) I hope you enjoy this new edit in the mean time while I continue trying to figure out how to share my edits that have been blocked.

[@moosemafia]

You're doing the Lord's work man. These edits are 🔥🔥🔥

[@ManicJackk]

@@moosemafia I had the same issue with some of my edits, one of them got permanently removed.

[@johnalsup3583]

Your video with Darth Vader and "It's raining men" is pure genius in my opinion. Deserves more views

[@shoneybones3434]

Is there anywhere else you can upload those because the world needs to see a Boba Fett edit

[@ManicJackk]

@@shoneybones3434 I have a boba fett edit on my channel, its to the beat of mr blue sky!

[@popoffpeppar]

This is the song playing in little Anakin’s head while he was pod racing

[@jackscantina6639]

Or there was a deleted scene where he put his pods radio on lol

[@wyattholbert7987]

Nah he was listening to deja vu

[@cowsagainstcapitalism347]

How hard did Anakin have to lie about safety to convince his mom to let him race?

[@darylobey8867]

Safty what the hell is that :D this is back ally gambling at its finest safty dont mean jack :)

[@ellugerdelacruz2555]

Probably...

[@blitzkriegergaming9104]

Not very hard

[@yells-of-the-not-so-danged]

i don't think he had to lie, i think at some point Shmi just had to accept that Ani was going to race since Watto & Qui-gon made the bet (and Shmi and Anakin are Watto's slaves and all that...)

[@josephdavis2198]

He never lied. She admitted to Watto making him do it. They were slaves. She had no choice.

[@Dylstar-gq9ge]

This guys last five vids alone should warrant him 1 Million Subs

[@bugzkilla]

Wow that’s high praise, thank you so much!

[@elias-eg4rl]

i literally got CHILLS when anakin got his podracer back up and the music kicked in, this is so good man

[@zachhendry7926]

Now THIS is pod racing

[@HaydenStephens515]

Only Nine Likes? Lemme help ya out there, Bro! 😁👍

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

I like how when Anakin couldn't get his Pod to start up the music stopped for a little bit & when he was finally able to get it started the song continued

[@seandawson5899]

Dude I want pod racing in a Star wars movie again. Adding kick start my heart gave me the same hearing pumping adrenaline that I got when I was a little kid and saw this for the first time. Thank you so much!

[@ravenmorrigana1093]

Suddenly, I like podracing.

[@talscorner3696]

That start, man!

[@HybridPhoenix08]

2:15 the guitar entrance lining up with the donald duck scream was great!

[@henrymockingbird9645]

I tried watching this scene without this song, and I can never watch this scene without it now this is Pod racing

[@UnkemptGamer]

I don't recall the podrace being that exciting when I saw it in the theater, but it is now. Nice work editing this man!! The sound effects and scenes went perfectly with the killer Crüe music from my childhood!

[@djsurferdude]

The way this syncs is so perfect!

[@apolinarchavez3022]

Now that’s pod racing with attitude🤘🏽😎🤘🏽

[@AccidentalFriendlyFire]

Excellent job editing this to fit the music. :-) Going to show this to my kids, they're getting raised on Star Wars and 80's music as it is.

[@MetroBuckle]

"now this is podracing" *MOTLEY CRUE INTNSIFIES*

[@t.g.b.1164]

Song works really well with this scene.

[@Ryan-jc3ee]

This is the way to edit, everything that makes me laugh and nostalgic in the best simultaneous ways ever

[@RedPill05]

This by far the most badass star wars music video ever made. I love pod racing and I love motley crue. This video just filled the void in my soul. Thank you kind sir.

[@TreeclimberZ75]

This is the most Badass Motley Crue music video I've ever seen...

[@chrismacintrye4824]

What a great way to start my fourth day Happy Star Wars Day

[@MrHuffmeister]

First time I ever wanted to watch the pod race with a beer.

[@AFchris77]

This is wizarrrd, Ani! I'm sure those other edits were great too. Whatever you come up with next I'm sure will rock! These have been dope!

[@robertpainter8044]

Can't help but think Danger Zone would have worked here as well?

[@jonwalstedt1907]

Might be better for the opening of revenge of the sith

[@drbjr99]

Cause you haven't tried to edit it.

i love your stuff, its so good

[@jamieleesphere8589]

I like , what y'all did "that when Anakin's pod with off the music was off"- then it came back on when he turned on his pod y'all so it's like if he was playing it on his Pod Radio Very very nice👏🤗⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@calash1238]

me looking at battlefield 2042 trailor: now this, *this* is podracing

[@Nathan-vt1jz]

It’s like Star Wars meets Guardians of the Galaxy.

[@isabellakroon5321]

If Anakin hadn’t become a Jedi, he would have been able to make a living as a racing pilot!

[@drydogg]

Now that was entertaining! That's my favorite MC song.

[@metaldadhu]

This song makes the whole scene legit after decaded of fans' hatred.

[@axelwulf6220]

Ever notice how much pod racing was quickly forgotten about? This is Tattoine right? The desert planet? So... How was this such a big thing but it was only in this movie?

[@HouseOfLyftindor]

100% improved scene.

[@PPX14]

This is so good. There really aren't enough Star Wars complications with rock/pop music.

[@djayk9692]

Lion-“Never Surrender” from ‘The Wraith’ would work great here too

[@rhysdavis2852]

Who is here before this blows up?

[@robertbusek30]

I think even John Williams would be impressed with this…

[@Cabin_Fever13]

@buzkilla I hope you know this is possibly my favorite video on KZbin and i’ve been on here over a decade

[@cherokee_cat]

Nice editing skills

[@LifelessTooth]

You put _far_ too much effort into this, and I thank you for that

[@BaldTemplar]

Yoooo this guy does these videos and there a hit back to back

2:28 sounds like what happens when you hit a banana peel in Mario Kart!

[@kharnakcrux2650]

2:25 wow the gunshot is in perfect timing

At 1:48, I never realized that Aurra Sing was a character from the movies! Makes me love the Clone Wars even more, lol.

good edit

[@thecoolnavajo]

I never knew that I needed this.

All it took for me to more fully appreciate the Prequels was Motley Crue and Disney’s sequels.

Another amazing video! Fingers crossed we get to see your other ones that got blocked. The world needs your edits!

[@imthedarknight-8755]

Classic hard rock and prequel memes? It's almost too good to be true

Happy to see the dedication to podracing. (Probably the best racing scene of any movie ever and probably the best racing game; mechanically; besides iracing).

[@tdubbled5002]

Amazing how a score can effect the out come nice work🙂

[@ScullBayProductions]

Excellent!

[@digitalunity]

This is an incredible video, and I should've commented the first time I ran across it! Out of curiosity, have you ever played Star Wars Episode 1: Racer? I showed this to the discord community for the game, and they thought it was great!

[@bugzkilla]

I actually have and it's a great game! Hopefully they remake it at some point as well. Thanks for your comment as well as sharing!

Revvin' up the engines, on Tatooine's sandy ground, Anakin Skywalker's ready, gonna tear this race track down. Podracers all around, with their engines loud and mean, They're racin' for glory, in the Boonta Eve's Podrace scene. I'm gonna race so fast, gonna leave 'em all behind, On this dangerous track, I'm gonna kickstart my speed of light. Boonta Eve Podrace, it's a wild, adrenaline ride, Hold on tight, feel the force, as we race side by side. Anakin's in his podracer, built by his own hand, With the force as his co-pilot, they're the best in the land. Sebulba's on his tail, always ready to attack, But Anakin's got the skills, gonna leave him in the dust, that's a fact. I'm gonna race so fast, gonna leave 'em all behind, On this dangerous track, I'm gonna kickstart my speed of light. Boonta Eve Podrace, it's a wild, adrenaline ride, Hold on tight, feel the force, as we race side by side. Engines roar, as we zoom through each twist and turn, Dodging obstacles, feeling the thrill and the burn. Anakin's determination, shining in his eyes, He's destined for greatness, as the crowd cheers up to the skies. -Guitar Solo- The finish line is near, victory's within our reach, Anakin's got the lead, gonna make history breach. As we cross the final stretch, with the cheering all around, The Boonta Eve champion, the crowd's applause resounds. I raced so fast, left 'em all behind, On that dangerous track, I kickstarted my speed of light. Boonta Eve Podrace, a wild, adrenaline ride, Hold on tight, feel the force, as we raced side by side. The Boonta Eve Podrace, a thrill that never dies, Anakin's legend lives on, soaring in the Tatooine skies. So rev up your engines, and let the excitement start, The Boonta Eve Podrace, it'll kickstart your heart!

If they ever make a open world star wars game it would be cool if as your character you can bet on pod races and then play as a character like sebulba to not break the canonicity of humans not being able to podrace excluding anakin

[@sicsrt5876]

When they remake the sequels I vote you as lead sound editor

[@paulmetz1174]

Just noticed that’s Aurra Sing on the balcony.

[@lisamarieligreci-newton7804]

The podrace isn't my favorite scene but I LOVE the sound design so I like how you kept all the pod sounds in here :) They go great with the song! Have you done anything from Revenge of the Sith? So much of those movies scenes are driven by the music there are probably a lot of great choices (the opening battle would be fun) although on the other hand, it might be hard to compete with Williams.

[@jameshamaker9321]

I would really like to see how, a song like, master of puppets or paint it black would work with, something from the star wars movies.
