What If Anakin Skywalker Became a Podracer After Qui Gon Found Him

by



Qui Gon’s discovery of Anakin was an event that led to him becoming a Jedi. What If after this discovery, Anakin instead became a Professional Podracer? How would his life differ? When would he go down this route? What would encourage Anakin to pursue this passion?

  1. This story was written & recorded months ago, when I first learned of the reality that came to be yesterday. Mom introduced me to Star Wars, encouraged me throughout my Youtube journey, and was apart of the greatest adventure of my life. Thanks to her, I get to bring you stories every week & I am forever grateful for my Mom & her eternal support. I love you Mom & I thank every one of you for the joy you brought her

    To all of you, I plan to continue to upload, but the amount of uploads might not be the same. Writing is & always has been an outlet for me. I find great joy in writing stories about the human experience & telling them through the lens of Star Wars. However, I am going to take care of my health first. This might mean I don’t miss a story, it might mean I’ll miss a week. What I can tell you though, is I love bringing stories to you all, it’s one of the greatest joys in my life.

    TSCW S3 was finished in ’24 so I can at the very least promise that it will finish/post on time, as for everything else, we’ll take it one day at a time. All I ask from you is that you share your love with those closest to you. I appreciate all of your continuous support & I’ll see you all in the next story <33

  5. What if, early in the clone wars, anakin/other jedi, used their clone forces to not only fight the cis, but also went after slave worlds, to free them, not just doing because they should as jedi but as big pr move against the senate and its corrupt ways.

  7. My condolences to you and your family. She raised an amazing story teller. Take all the time you need to grieve and process this loss, we’ll be here for you. May the force be with you.

  10. My condolences for you and your family Pente. Every time I watch your videos I get the sense that this is something that you truly enjoy doing, and your mother thought the same. May your mother rest in peace, and always remember that it's not necessarily the quantity of life, but rather the quality of it.

  15. I like that small detail that Anakin and Sebulba would become best friends, i figured that the two would engage is a friendly rivalry or show respect to one another during races for appearances while that dislike for one another resumed, but the idea that the duo would be best friends is something i really liked.

  19. This was amazing. I’ve been a fan of your videos for a while and it’s always fun to see your interesting SW what if’s. It was also fun to see Anakin being a podracer after Qui-Gon found him getting shown some love. This is definitely an interesting scenario and it should definitely get shown some more love. Plus I think we can all agree that this is probably one of the most interesting/unique scenarios in SW…but it’s a welcome one. Also if Anakin became a podracer…then it would definitely be an interesting opportunity to show another side of his character and make it even more interesting. It was also nice to see Anakin still impacting the galaxy in the most unorthodox way getting shown some love, since he usually never get the chance to do crazy stunts (at least not more than usual) like this that much and it was a nice change of pace to see him take the initiative and definitely made us all impressed. Plus it was nice to see Anakin get that opportunity to help prevent a major event from happening…afterall it was nice to see him have a solid plan, afterall this was probably the smartest course of action he could take, so it was nice to see him come up with this plan to shift the power balance of the galaxy, since he knows that there’s still opportunity and hope in the galaxy. Also it’s always nice to see just how determined Anakin truly is…also this was definitely something Anakin would do. It was also nice to see him have these impactful moments and show who he truly is. It was also fun to see Anakin demonstrate his amazing piloting skills…it was definitely glorious. Also Anakin is one of my favourite SW characters ever and it’s always nice to see you include him in this amazing ‘what if’ stories like this one. It was also fun to see just how much Anakin cares for his allies and just wants whats best for them and would help them out in anyway possible…afterlife, he took care of his friends and became a formidable warrior. A great way to continue 2025. Great job as always and I can’t wait to see what you do next.

    I do have a few ideas for some possible what if’s:

    1) What if Rey was a Mandalorian…essentially what if Din Djarin found Rey and took her in as a Foundling.

    2) What if Ezra was a Mandalorian…something like how both his parents were Mandalorians who left Mandalore and went to start their own lives (you could still keep most of Ezra’s backstory) and potentially make Ezra and Sabine a couple (since Disney won’t, we have too…#ezrabine4ever.

    3) What if Jango Fett and/or Boba Fett Joined the Republic…I think something interesting could happen with this.

    4) What if Rey, Finn and Poe went back in time to the Clone Wars…this would make the World Between Worlds even more of an important focal point and I could also see them get along well with Anakin, Ashoka, Rex and the rest of the 501st (it would be fun to see Rey, Finn and Poe join the 501st)

    I hope these are some amazing ideas for some potential What if’s

  20. Im so sorry for your loss dude. Your mom sounded like a great woman, introducing you to this franchise we all love so much, and encouraging you on your YouTube journey. The outreach you have is incredible, your storytelling next to none. She’s looking down, smiling at the man you’ve become.

    Prayers to you and your family. May the force be with you

  21. I actually made up my own version of the Star Wars Legends timeline where podracing is an organized sport called UPA (Universal Podracing Association). The Boonta Eve Classic is always the first race of the season. The races are longer (between 5,000 to 3,000 miles). (Like NASCAR races being 500 to 300 miles).
