5 MINUTE STAR WARS STORIES Suddenly the starting gong rang They were off But something was wrong Anakin's podracer wouldn't move Anakin began to panic Sebulba must have done something to his podracer But Anakin thought of what Qui Gon had told him right before the race began Concentrate on the moment Feel Don't think Use your instincts
RACE TO THE FINISH LINE Anakin took a deep breath flipped a few switches and restarted his engines They roared to life and Anakin quickly flew away But he was a long way behind Sebulba Meanwhile Sebulba knocked his ship against another racer's The podracer crashed off the course and burst into flames Sebulba laughed One fewer racer to worry about
Behind the crash Anakin flew through a cavern and into a deep cave One of the other racers wasn't paying attention and ran right into some rocks The ship exploded Anakin quickly flew around the fire That was close Anakin thought Anakin raced through the stadium He had two more laps to finish but he smiled He was catching up to Sebulba
RACE TO THE FINISH LINE The racers thundered across the planet Sebulba was still ahead of everyone else but he wanted to make sure it stayed that way Sebulba threw a piece of metal behind him and it went right into another racer's engine The engine exploded and pieces of the podracer flew everywhere
