Anakin Skywalker's Podracer/Legends

"Not yet, but it's certain to be a piece of junk!"

- Sebulba to Ark Roose

As a nine year-old slave, Anakin Skywalker regularly raced a podracer that belonged to his owner, Watto. In secret, Anakin was building his own. Anakin Skywalker's podracer was constructed from a pair of Radon-Ulzer 620c turbines. One engine was put together from spare parts in Watto's junkyard. These parts included the burned-out turbines from Watto's own podracer, which Anakin had eventually crashed. The other engine was acquired when Anakin bartered with Jawas. Anakin attached triple yellow air scoops to these engines to give the vehicle optimal maneuverability. The cockpit was attached to the massive motors by steelton control cables. The racer could reach breakneck speeds in the area of 950 kilometers an hour. In the Boonta Eve Classic race, Anakin used his podracer to defeat his archrival, Sebulba the Dug and win his freedom from slavery.

After the race, Qui-Gon Jinn sold the pod to Sebulba, who passed it on to his son Hekula. Hekula crashed the racer in a race on the planet Euceron, nearly destroying it. The podracer was duly abandoned. Anakin later reacquired the vehicle and again pitted it against Sebulba in one last rematch.
