Flight and Flying

"So it turns out that I'm teaching a class on flying," Anakin said, rubbing his hands together and grinning, "which is basically the best thing ever, so I was going through the setting and it has podracing! I did that when I was, like, nine, so it's super easy."

It was not super easy.

"I won't even make you create your own engines," Anakin continued. "A podracer is a tiny, one-being gravity-affected landcraft that gets dragged behind a couple of giant engines," he said pulling up a holo image.. Totally doesn't look like a death trap at all, huh, kids? "It's a big racing sport in the Outer Rim, with lots of bets placed on the winner. Like auto races or horses races, but with more explosions. So I put a bunch of different podracers into the system for you to choose from, then we'll have a race and most of you will probably blow up," he said. "But that's fine. It's not real."

With those reassuring words of wisdom, Anakin waved his hand at the various simulators for the students to pick from.

"Is mocking part of basic Jedi training?" Sabine hissed back.

"I'm told it's less important than the handstands and meditation." And meditating while doing handstands.

"How do you know so much about Jedi training?"

Where "so much" meant "anything" since it was kind of a moot point by Sabine's time.

Because he'd flunked out of Jedi school, but that was a particularly sore spot today.

"Knew a crazy old Jedi who taught half the council."

Knew, raised by. Same diff.

"You know, weeks ago that would have surprised me?"

Was it a good or a bad thing to acclimate this fast?

Theron grinned. "If we're talking surprises, Mandalorians who ask questions first and shoot later rank up there too."

Sabine shrugged. "Maybe you caught me on a good day."

Or she was a reasonable person most of the time, whatever.
