Join in on what is sure to be chaos when StarWars.com hosts a virtual podrace on Twitter.
The racers will be Star Wars celebrities of actor and fandom ilk, alike. And you can play along by Tweeting as a character-not-racing. Think of it as a live-action roleplaying game in 140-character bits. (If only you could limit some real-life LARPers to 140 characters!)
The action will kick off at 11am Pacific, 2pm Eastern. Just follow the hashtag #podrace.
At least you don’t have to worry about having to rebuild your podracer when it’s over.

I read the description of this on starwars.com several times now and I still don’t understand what the heck this is or how it will work. Makes no sense.

Twitter is 140 characters, not 160.

Thanks, Eric. Fixed it.
Matt: I assume they’re scripting it? Prepare to get spammed, I guess.

It’s not scripted. It’s going to be spontaneous. So yes, chaos.

Yeaaah. Think I’ll stay off Twitter tomorrow afternoon.
