I like Anakin using the Force to get Sebulba out of the way. Perhaps some of the other pods as well. However, it should be done in a way where Anakin doesn't really know what he's capable of. It reminds me of the latest Harry Potter book where we observe Voldemort using magic to hurt other children as a kid. Not a bad parallel. My suggestion for how the final scene between Anakin and Sebulba should be done:

Anakin is following Sebulba. Use a close-up of Anakin from the pan-and-scan version to signal that he's staring intensely at his opponent. At this point, the Force theme should kick in. Now cut to Qui-Gon pondering about something - he can sense what's happening. Suddenly, Anakin succeeds. A white flash appears (this may be too goofy, but the use of the Force should be indicated somehow) and Sebulba loses control of his pod and crashes. Anakin speeds up and wins the race. It shows that Anakin is indeed very powerful, but also foreshadows that he will use the Force for wreaking havoc.

And I agree with you on the two-headed commentator, InfoDroid. As of now, he doesn't work.
