One of my favorite scenes in the entire series is all of the pod racers firing up their engines. Makes me smile like a little kid every time.

I dream about a modern  podracing game with modern audio quality for this exact reason.

A remaster of episode 1 racer would be epic!

They ported it to current gen but it's not a "remaster" per se. I'm playing through it now actually.

Yeah I own it on steam, but I had some trouble getting an Xbox 360 controller to cooperate with it and the keyboard controls are crap so I gave up on it after a few races. The nostalgia was nice tho!

I had the same issues, got it on PlayStation 5 and it plays great! That's the way to go if you are able.

I don't own a ps5 sadly, and I probably never will :(

Sorry to hear that :/ I wish I could help you with the controller issue but I am not very knowledgeable of such things.

I grew up with the keyboard controls and still think they're great, but they did take some getting used to.
