ALT A screenshot from Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer. The player is controlling Bullseye Navior’s spindly silver and green podracer as it zooms through the Oovo IV track at a slight angle. There are grey metal stands on either side of the track, with an orange planet and wide asteroid belt visible in the dark and starry field of space above. The game’s HUD is on screen.

The passage reads: “Through these efforts, he'd learned of the UNSC Spirit of Fire. Missing in action. Later declared lost with all hands...

ALT A screenshot from Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer of the race end screen, showing that I came in 1st place with Ebe Endocott, whose podracer is grey with red streaks and features sharp triangular wings on the engines. The camera is viewing the pod from a side-on perspective as it zooms through a dark urban environment. On screen is the 1st race place along with my lap times and a prompt to press A to continue.
