The Boonta Eve Podrace is Broken… So I Fixed It

20 years after its DVD release, I finally saw the extended cut of the Star Wars Episode I Boonta Eve podrace and… it gave me some big feelings. I found all kinds of little details I never saw before (in either version) until I had to make a custom animation and record a cover song and play some games and read some books and spend 8 months of my life overthinking the whole thing.
