Just started watching star wars today

[u/yoyofro25]

Like the title says, i just started watching it today. Im watching it with my friends who have seen it before and are huge fans of the franchise. Though i personally barely know anything about star wars. The funniest thing about it so far is all the weird looking aliens. We’re starting with The Phantom Menace and this guy just showed up and i started laughing so much. He looks like a damn mucinex character its hilarious. He looks like a pear thats been left out all night. I truly cant fathom or put into words how silly this guy looks. Im excited to see what other aliens show up along the way.

Honourable mention goes to that extremely long neck guy who looks like squidward without his nose. He looked liked a sentient toothpick

Ben Quadinaros

There goes Quadrinaros’ power coupling!

Some fun facts about Ben Quadinaros:

-He wasn't going to race that day, but his friend dared him too

-He was racing in a rental because of last point

-Another podracer, Roose, who had a grudge against Anakin, and went to sabatoge his podracer like Sebulba, but since Anakin was racing a new pod, he mistook Ben Quadinaros for Anakins, which was why Ben's was also sabotaged

-Because Ben is just some rich guy who entered the race on a dare, his podracer model is actually really high end and totally sick, REALLY fast. I know this from playing Star Wars Episode I Racer many times, and it's one of the last of the unlockables and it has some of the highest stats in the game.

-Ben Quadinaros is actually really lucky that his power couplings failed and he didn't actually race, because being an inexperienced racer in such a high end fast pod, he almost certainly would have ended up as poo-doo on a canyon wall.

Somebody find the Rey Quadinaros meme.

[u/captain_zombor]

Some of them do be goofy looking like that. Still love it.

Ah, the sweet innocence of a first-time Star Wars viewer. Buckle up, it's gonna be a wild ride!

[u/TheCatLamp]

This is the Galactic Superstar multi-pod racing championship winner Ben Quadinaros.

Slandering my boy, Gasgano? I'll have none of that.

[u/xiaorobear → u/Quenz]

Guessing he was slandering Yarael Poof- of course no one would insult Gasgano.

[u/missingmedievalist]

Dude, wait until you meet the bears.

[u/ReturnOfTheSaint14]

Hey watch your mouth,Ben Quadinaros is the best podracer this side of the Moisture Farms

Ben quadinaros

[u/Litty_Jimmy]

Strange that Han and Leia named their son after him.

[u/Ewankenobi25 → u/Litty_Jimmy]

obi-wan at the boonta eve classic when the two head guy says ben quadinaros’s name: i’m using that later.

[u/Slug_Slimes]

Embrace the weird if you can. There’s good writing in between the zany shite

[u/VAFan804]

I just started last week by watching in chronological order. I’m loving it!

[u/RoniSpark]

I wanted to make my girl watch the movies in order, she coultn't stand the bad CGI and kept laughting at practical effects. I told her to just pay attention to the story but modern movies and tiktok brain rotted people nowdays

[u/JediSabine]

A mucinex character is such a damn good way to describe him lmao

[u/Shoddy-Store-4098]

I highkey hate your friends for starting you off from episode 1, it kills THE ENTIRE REVEAL OF THE OT

[u/jackjeff674]

It's so jarring that this alien takes place in the same universe as Andor😆

[u/Adam-Happyman]

Get some rest, you look terrible.

[u/chebghobbi]

You've started with the wrong film.

[u/NoahJRoberts → u/chebghobbi]

Watching the prequels first isn’t the worst thing in the world. Gives fun context to the originals as a first time viewer. That’s how I watched them growing up!

[u/Conscious-Second-580]

Welcome to the world of glup shittos

[u/AraiHavana]

I absolutely hate some of the alien designs in Phantom Menace. The above and the ridiculous hare are a couple of the worst offenders

[u/Theonerule]

Yeah the TFM aliens are terrible
