    The idea of this thread is to compare similar aspects of the Star Wars movies and spout off about which one you prefer. So just to get this ball rolling, the first examlpe will be:

    The Boonta Eve Pod Race {TPM}
    versus
    The Endor Speeder Bike Chase {RotJ)

    Of the two I greatly prefer the pod race(minus Fode and Beed, but they're a minor quibble). The speeder bike bit is starting to look its age a bit, and I just love the sound Sebulba's pod racer makes. Like a Harley Davidson on horse steroids, baby! I also like the way Analin takes the lead for the first time. Some really great camera angles there. Add that to the fact that the race itself is about eight minutes long(I would know; I timed it. Is that sad or what?) and the tension doesn't drop at all during the whole thing.

    Kudos to GL and ILM for a truly uniqe take on an old idea!

    Agree? Disagree? Tell us what you think. We'll talk about this for a day or two then move on to something else. Unless no one cares about this and the thread gets banished to the land of wind and ghosts.

    Enjoy!

    edit/ you didn't give me a reason so I'm locking this.

    There are two parts of this thread
    Part 1:It is SW vs.itself,which really has no sense Part 2:It is good.

    Give me a very, very good reason why this can't be discussed in the Who would win thread.

    I don't know, those Ewoks in hangliders looked pretty cool.... they compare pretty closely to X-wings and TIE-Interceptors in a dogfight.

    Ok... maybe they don't [face_laugh]
