[edit] Biography

His parents trained him to be a racer before he could even walk, inspired by Anakin Skywalker who had won the Boonta Eve Classic at the age of nine. He traveled with the podracing circuit around the galaxy. Kareen and Maxus were part of a racing team that would always seem to win. In 22 BBY, he met Ahsoka Tano who was undercover at the time as a fellow podracer, while trying to find a Separatist agent who had possessed a top secret Republic data file. After one of his races he met with her and the two found that they were attracted to each other. They almost kissed but they were interrupted by Skywalker. Lending her a podracer for the big race, he kissed Ahsoka on the cheek for luck before leaving to go to his team. Maxus, after consoling with Dooku, revealed himself as a Separatist agent and showed Kidd who Ahsoka really was: a Jedi. During the final race on Mon Gazza he was left with a decision to make: help Ahsoka or help Maxus kill her. He chose to assist her as Maxus destroyed her podracer and together they caught up to Maxus's podracer. Ahsoka then found herself facing Asajj Ventress but before Maxus could hand off the Republic datafile, Anakin came in to Force crush it.

After the big race and the datafile destroyed, the two parted ways. Kidd offered Ahsoka a chance to be on his team but she refused. He found out who Anakin was after Ahsoka said his last name. He challenged him to a race someday when the war was over. Anakin went back into the Twilight and before Ahsoka left he kissed her hand.
