In a recent interview, Fuse Games CEO Matt Webster pulled back the curtain on the upcoming 2026 racing title — and what he revealed makes it clear this isn’t just a nostalgic side project. It’s an ambitious Star Wars game built with Lucasfilm involvement from the ground up… and it hasn’t been easy. “This Isn’t Just Podracing” One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding Galactic Racer is that it’s simply a podracing revival. Webster made it clear that’s not the case. While the game absolutely taps into Star Wars’ racing DNA, it goes far beyond Tatooine engines and Boonta Eve vibes. The team is building what they call a “Galactic League” — a broader racing circuit that spans multiple worlds, eras, and vehicle types. That means you won’t just…

If you watched that and thought, I need to do that… minus the risk of fiery explosions, then Star Wars Episode I: Racer was your ticket to speed. Released on this day in 1999, Star Wars Episode I: Racer threw players right into the pilot seat of Anakin Skywalker’s podracer, letting them blast through the canyons of Tatooine, dodge asteroids on Ando Prime, and squeeze through the narrow tubes of Oovo IV. It was blisteringly fast, occasionally frustrating, and absolutely iconic.
