Star Wars, The Phantom Menace, Race to the Finish Line.

A long time ago on a small planet called Tadouin, a young boy named Anakin Skywalker looked up at the planet's moons.

Although he had never left his home, Anakin had always dreamed of going on great adventures and racing across the stars.

One day, it looked like Anakin's dreams were coming true.

He had met a Jedi knight named Quigod who needed supplies to repair his ship.

Anakin didn't have money to help the Jedi, so he had entered a pod race, hoping to win the supplies. Although Anakin had never

won a race before, he knew that he could do it. As the timer counted down to the beginning

of the race, Anakin looked at all the other racers. He wasn't worried about any of them,

except Sibolba. Anikin knew that Sibolba cheated to win but it

wouldn't get away with it this time. Suddenly the starting gong rang. They were off. But

something was wrong. Anikin's pod racer would move. Anikin began to panic.

Subolba must have done something to his pod racer, but Anikin

thought of what Quigon had told him right before the race began. Concentrate on the moment.

Feel. Don't think. Use your instincts.

Anakin took a deep breath, flipped a few switches, and restarted his engines.

They wore to life.

Anakin quickly flew away.

But he was a long way behind Sebalba.

Meanwhile, Sebalba knocked his ship against another racers.

The hot rations crashed off the course and burst into flames.
