Cool It, Geek
Before anyone gets too excited about the upcoming Star Wars installment, let me review, for those who've blocked it out in therapy, the script of the first of the "prequels," Episode 1: The Podrace Menace.
Act 1:
Anakin: I'm Anakin. I'm building a podracer. I race pods in podraces.
Act 2:
Anakin: Once I finish building this podracer, I'm gonna win the podrace.
Watto: Shut up, you! You and your podraces.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the galaxy...
Jar Jar Binks: Meso lost! Oh meso lost! Meso horny!
Act 3:
Queen Amidala: What's this, Anni?
Anakin: It's a podracer. I'm gonna race it in the podraces tomorrow.
Queen Amidala: Did you build it?
Anakin: Yes. I build podracers. I'm gonna race the podracer I built in the podrace.
Queen Amidala: Well, good luck with that.
Act 4: (several hours later)
Boring-ass podrace.
Act 5:
Amadala and guards climb up palace wall via grappling hooks, Batman TV show-style. Sammy Davis Jr. does not pop out of a window to make conversation, which in retrospect is too bad.

I sent this link to Jonah Goldberg at National Review Online, seeing as how he has just remarked on the stupidity of the podrace.
I knew everybody hated JarJar but I didn't think so many people shared my opinion of the podrace. I'm so touched.
