[edit] Biography

Sandage, one of the few male podracers of his species, had been piloting since the age of two, using a Podracer fashioned on Ord Radama itself. On his homeworld, he attained great fame, but on other planets, his sense of direction was distorted, rendering him constantly discombobulated.

Before the Boonta Eve Classic, Sandage enlisted the aid of the hitman Aldar Beedo to dispatch Sebulba in midrace, leaving the path to victory open for Sandage. However, during the race, Sandage crashed in the third lap.

His son, Wan Sandage Jr., continued to fly with Podracers.

[edit] Behind the scenes

The rough draft and first draft of Star Wars contained a character named Count Sandage, a noble at the court of King Kayos on Aquilae. He counsels the king to yield to the Galactic Empire, and later betrays the royal family to Darth Vader. He was ommitted from later drafts, but the name was later reused by George Lucas for the podracer.

Sandage's voice in Star Wars: Episode I: Racer was provided by Bob Bergen.
