If Only Star Wars: Episode I Had Featured An iPod...

by , 10:00 AM EST, March 29th, 2004

Apple's iPod is a wonder in a while plastic and metal case. People don't just like their iPods, they have made them a part of their lives. There are sites like the iPod Lounge that show pictures of iPods in nearly every place around the world -- from Moscow, to the Himalayas, to Boston, to the Grand Canyon -- and it's hard to find a TV commercial these days that doesn't feature the iPod.

People even love talking about their iPods -- just check out our forums for proof. One person has even created a movie that literally has to be seen to be believed. "iPodrace," hosted at the .Mac home page of .Mac member "jscct," depicts Santa Claus racing a Star Wars Pod Racer that bears a more than passing resemblance to an iPod. Oh, and Santa puts on a Steve Jobs mask, too, but we don't know what that's about.


Cool movie!

Nonetheless, the movie's an absolute hoot, and you have got to see it. We'd like to thank forum member akcarver for pointing out this really cool movie.

The Mac Observer Spin:

Name one other product where its users will create movies featuring it?

Umm, OK; name one other non-Apple product where its users create movies featuring it. Go on, name one.

It's such a cool movie too! Hats off to the creators of the fine little flick.
