Tales from Wild Space: Podracer's Rescue


Stuck in the vent


The Star Herald was making a strange sound noted Emil Graf as the starship travelled through Wild Space. CR-8R "Crater" told Emil that his Kowakian monkey-lizard, Noni got herself stuck in the vents on her way to the kitchen. Crater wanted Noni to stay in the vents for awhile so she could learn a lesson. Emil noted that while Noni can be trouble sometimes, everyone will find themselves in trouble at some point.

Young Skywalker


Over 60 years earlier, a young Anakin Skywalker was working on his podracer when his slave master, Watto. Watto told him to move a scrap pile away for melting but Anakin found a ultra power cell. He was going to use the power cell for his podracer but a large explosion went off in the distance. Thieves had attacked the medical center but instead of running away like the crowd, Anakin ran towards the medical center. A Twi'lek told him that the medical center's generator was destroyed but Anakin promised her he could fix it. He used the ultra power cell he was going to use for his podracer on the generator. The generator restarted and everyone cheered.

A week later, Anakin was in a podrace against Sebulba when Sebulba insulted Anakin and knocked his podracer into Anakin's. Anakin's crashed into the desert as Sebulba continued. But the Twi'lek from earlier helped Anakin out of the wreckage.

Freeing Noni


Back on the Star Herald, BB-00 "Boo" was using his laser to remove the vent so Noni could get out. When he completed it Noni went flying out, falling on the BB-series astromech droid. Boo zapped at Noni and Crater left to go get ready for Noni's mess he thought she would make. But Emil Graf told him to not worry about it because she would do the same.
