Pod Racing in Felarya

The most obvious course would be the river course, the Anko Run, from the Mysterious Temple near Ur Sagol city ruins, round the Jewel River to the river running behind the Great Tree, past the Fairy Pond and the Grove of Carnivorous Plants ( ) to hit land and cut across Neko Village, ultimately ending in Negav City. Alternate land shortcut across Drayla's territory through the Grove of Carnivorous Plants to Negav City.

800 mph, 4 inches off the ground. Wootage. Lots of trees along surface routes, and even a desert path!

If you crash, you can expect a giant Pred to come and eat you.

I'd love to see the full map of Felarya to plan better routes. I don't see the Jungle Bowl in the map, and there's no map of the Fairy Kingdom, etc.

Me, I'd want to Pod Race through Fairy territory past the Delurans, or even lead the Crimson Legion on a merry mach 1 chase across the Crimson Forest hahah! Or haul a$$ through the Dridder tunnels! Extra race points for grabbing and rescuing live ones trapped in silk waiting to be eaten and for crashing enemy pod racers to get eaten!

Yeah, if you crash at 800 mph, you're basically gonna be a road stain on Felarya's surface. Hopefully these pods help you in that department.

Well, of course you need incredible reflexes - like in the pod races on Tatooine. Sebulba survived a really high speed crash. Also on Return of the Jedi, those speeder bikes were racing through those dense forests of Endor; again, you need hecka good reflexes to do that, and that's what a Pod Racer does naturally. Pod races can be held in Felarya's terrain, especially the water routes.

The problem is, in Felarya, you want to be a road stain if you crash. The alternative is to be knocked around real hard and emerge from your hover-chariot only for a Great Pred to gulp you down. *gurgle* Ouch.

For me, the fun would be leading a Great Pred on a merry chase they can't hope to win. Not at Mach 1. Or if they can, maybe one of the other racers will get eaten. It's the ultimate game of chance! If the prize is big enough, there'd be a lot of contestants.

Hahahah - Oh man, Gunther so needs to be the organizer he knows the terrain like the back of his hand (he uses it to run away quite a lot).

Yup, he does know the terrain.

Pod racing through Felarya - that's gotta be worth a whole lot of stories right there.

Consider it done

Sounds fun! *Remembers the times she built her own versions using Legos*

Ooh, did you take a pic of it?

Heh, that was about 9-10 years ago.

Unfortunately, unless they are jedi or force adepts, humans don't have the required reflexes for pod racing. That was a disappointment from the movie.

But this isn't the star wars universe, so I guess anything is possible. Sign me up!

Toss in a few neural enhancements or spells or enchantments and any human could hold his own.
