"Good morning," Anakin said, smiling at the students arrived. "Hopefully this is not your first time emerging from your rooms this week. As a reward--" well, Anakin thought it was a reward, but your mileage might vary, "--podracing! I raced when I was nine, so it's very easy."
It was not very 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 bets placed on the winner. It's a bit like auto races or horses races, but with more explosions. So I've uploaded different podracers into the system for you to choose from, then and 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.
