Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Crash Course is the second in a series of digest-sized Clone Wars graphic-novellas.

Publisher's summaryEdit

In the latest galaxy-spanning Clone Wars adventure, Anakin Skywalker and his young Padawan Ahsoka Tano go undercover in the cutthroat world of Podracing in hopes of crushing a diabolical Separatist spy ring. Watch out, Jedi -- speed kills!

Plot summaryEdit

The search for Separatist spy leads Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, to the Mon Gazza system, where one of the biggest Podraces in the galaxy is about to begin. The Jedi must enter the races to uncover the secrets of a spy network that they believe is much larger than just single agent and his contract. With Ahsoka as the racer, and Anakin, Artoo-Detoo, and the Clone Captain Rex as her pit crew, things seem to be well in hand for a successful mission-but Ahsoka's never driven a Podracer before...
