Welcome back to Star Wars Minute.

It's the daily podcast where we analyze, scrutinize, and celebrate the Star Wars movies one minute at a time.

I'm Pete the Retailer from Pete the Retailer.com.

This year's Alex Robinson from comicbook Alex.com.

And I'm mysterious Kona from something awful.com.

Thanks for coming back, Asterios.

Thanks for having me. Speaking of something awful, we're talking about minute 62 of the Phantom Menace.

I'm going to say something awful for the next three episodes just so you can keep making that joke.

No, I kid, I kid.

It's minute 62 of Star Wars episode one, The Phantom Menace.

It starts with a point of view shot of Anakin racing,

trying to catch up with the leaders,

as we talked about yesterday. And it ends with some native

tattooiners taking shots at the pods as they go by from their dune ridge.

And I like to say that, so I think I answered the question I had at the end of last week's

episode, so Anakin catches up immediately and it's never explained.

Because there's a giant cave explosion and everyone in the cave is dead because

there's a cave explosion so by Anakin not being killed in that explosion

it means he's like caught up with everyone else just in like a cut he catches up

with there's no tension. His pod not starting has affected nothing. True or false boys.

It seems to be the case. He's definitely among the other pod racers, right?

Well, he's catching up at this point. It takes him about a minute.
