Entertainment: Swoop Racing Revitalized

Since the days of the Old Republic swoop racing has been a dull, regimented affair. The swoops run the tracks one at a time and are required only to shift gears at the appropriate time, hit accelerator pads, and dodge obstacles and then compare times. The sport became boring to watch as people watched stopwatches more then people.

No longer. The major tracks have decided to take a lesson from pod racing and are running longer, more dangerous tracks that require you to outfly others on the track to win. Said one spokesman: "The days where a nobody with a fast swoop who's managed to learn how to shift and dodge incredibly dull obstacles can become a sector champion are over. Now the race is one of real skill."
