You mentioned that podracing would be an awesome video game, they did in fact make a game called Star Wars Racers, which is a podracing game. I played that a ton when I was a kid. It is currently available to purchase
There is a common misconception that Anakin built C-3PO, however he only rebuilt him from parts he found.
Natalie Portman and her double Sabè played by Keira Knightley looked so much alike in their costumes that Keira’s own mother couldn’t tell them apart when she visited the set.
Natalie Portman’s voice sounded a little different because she uses two distinct voices for her Queen voice and her Padmé voice which is her real voice.
The whole Jar Jar Binks thing is an extremely sad story. Jar Jar was the first fully CG character. The actor who is standing in for him put a whole lot of work and himself in the character. He was praised during production. However when the movie came out, the fans had an extremely negative reaction to him calling him both racist and annoying. It got so bad that the actor considered ending his own life to make it stop, however he has recently been more accepted and received a long standing ovation from the fans.
The actor who played young Anakin has stopped acting due to psychological problems, some related to the movie. But he still loves Star Wars.
