A. That's an inside joke with the gang in the EPU studio. You know that scene in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones where Anakin jacks some senator's airspeeder and he and Obi-Wan chase down the shapeshifting assassin chick with it? That is totally somebody at Lucasfilm's session of Crazy Taxi translated to the Star Wars universe.

"Go ahead and pick a car and driver! - Anakin!"
"I have you now."
"OK, Anakin - let's go make some crrrrrazy money!"

I mean, the speeder he swipes is taxicab yellow. There's the Crazy Stunt moment where they go through the power couplings (you can all but hear the Crazy Money meter going ka-ching!). There's even a moment where someone jumps out after an expression of disgust in the driver's skill, although to be really Crazy Taxi compliant, it really should've been Obi-Wan who jumped out. ("You suck! Look at the time!")

That's been rattling around the EPU collective consciousness since Episode II came out - so when it came time to bring Anakin the Younger, as it were, into the fold, I really had no choice but to open with a Crazy Cab Ride of my own. I doubt it'll be the last time you see the Samurai Kid rockin' the car chase action, either. :)

"the Samurai Kid"?

Foreshadowing? If it gets him and his Master out of Black Rose Hell in time to be teased by Juniper, I guess the Choosen One (a lot of that going around here, y'noticed?) will just need to put up with that moniker.

So much better than "The Hero without Fear".

I just _died_ reading this. It's so true ^_^.
