Experience Star Wars: Anakin's Speedway - Build and Drive, developed by Lucas Learning and published by Lucas Learning in 1999. Star Wars: Anakin's Speedwayis an educational racing and creative design game for young players, built around podrace-style track construction and playful experimentation. The gameplay loop centers on building custom courses, placing track pieces, testing pod racers, adjusting speed, navigating hazards, printing course designs, and learning how motion, momentum, and decision-making affect each race. Players can visit Anakin’s Podracer Hut, interact with characters such as Anakin Skywalker, Sebulba, Gasgano, and Ben Quadinaros, and create thousands of different course layouts. Its rhythm blends hands-on creativity, basic computer skills, exploratory play, and light racing action with a kid-friendly Star Wars presentation.
Star Wars: Anakin's Speedwayconnects directly to the podracing world of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, focusing on the high-speed racing culture introduced on Tatooine. It also fits within Lucas Learning’s educational Star Wars lineup, where familiar characters and settings were used to teach planning, problem solving, creativity, and experimentation. Related titles such as Star Wars: DroidWorks, Star Wars: Yoda’s Challenge Activity Center, and Star Wars: Jar Jar’s Journey Adventure Book explored similar family-friendly learning concepts through interactive PC play. The design throughline is the use of Star Wars imagery to make learning feel like discovery rather than instruction. Star Wars: Anakin's Speedwaystands out as a colorful late-1990s children’s CD-ROM title built around creative construction and podrace action.
For collectors, Star Wars: Anakin's Speedway - Build and Drive pairs naturally with Star Wars: DroidWorks, Star Wars: Episode I Racer, and Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace as part of the late-1990s Episode I PC era. It also displays well alongside Star Wars: Yoda’s Challenge Activity Center, Star Wars: Jar Jar’s Journey Adventure Book, and Star Wars: Pit Droids, especially for a shelf focused on Lucas Learning and children’s Star Wars software. Family PC collectors can place it near Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish, and The Magic School Bus to show the broader educational CD-ROM market of the period. As a kid-focused Star Wars big box, Star Wars: Anakin's Speedwayadds a different angle than the combat-heavy LucasArts titles. On a shelf, it brings bright Episode I artwork, podracing nostalgia, and a distinctive Lucas Learning identity.
