"Racing is in the DNA of Star Wars": Galactic Racer makes more sense for the Star Wars universe than Palpatine somehow returning ever did

Star Wars Galactic Racer big preview.

Scoundrels and speedsters alike have found a new calling following the fall of the Galactic Empire. If you have the stamina to endure breakneck speeds, and the credits to back up your reputation, then the Galactic League beckons – an unsanctioned racing tournament born in lawless Outer Rim territories. Pick your preferred repulsorcraft, engineer it for maximum performance, and then drive to survive.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer has a simple premise, and one that is authentically Star Wars too – more so than Palpatine somehow returning, or Boba Fett surviving the horrors of the Sarlacc Pit. The Walt Disney Company is 14 years into its stewardship of the Star Wars universe, and its greatest contributions have undoubtedly been when it's been willing to look beyond Skywalker lineage, or binary morality battles, to tell more down-to-Tatooine stories about life in a galaxy far, far away.
