A Star Wars fan comic called Skate Wars. The title page shows Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano on skateboards in pursuit of Darth Maul, who is skating on a caster board. The title says, "Skate Wars: The Phantom Shredder."
Panel 1: Maul skates into a tunnel. Panel 2: Anakin says, "I got an idea." Panel 3: Obi-Wan says, "Anakin—no!"
Panel 4: Anakin says, "Anakin yes." Panel 5: Anakin skates into the tunnel.
Panel 6: Anakin skates up one side of the tunnel behind Maul. Panel 7: Anakin is upside down performing a 360 spin inside the tunnel. Panel 8: Anakin is smiling and skating close to Maul. Panel 9: Anakin misses his footing on the board. Panel 10: Maul looks back as Anakin tries to leap off his board at Maul.
Panel 11: Maul dodges Anakin. Panel 12 and 13: Maul spins on his caster board but maintains his balance. Panel 14 and 15: Maul skates out of the tunnel as Anakin slides down the side of the tunnel. Panel 16: Anakin holds his bleeding face as Obi-Wan and Ahsoka approach him. Panel 17: Ahsoka says, "Skyguy! You okay?" Anakin is sitting on the ground and says, "I'm fine! Don't let it get away!"
Panel 18 and 19: Anakin takes his hand away from his face and looks at the blood. Panel 20: Someone approaches Anakin and says, "That was some trick, Mr. Skywalker." Anakin replies, "Thanks, I—" Panel 21: Anakin looks up to see Palpatine standing over him. Panel 22: Palpatine continues, "You could be a great skater, maybe one of the best, with the right training. Panel 23: Anakin says, "I'm skating with the Jedi." Panel 24: Palpatine says, "Ah, yes, the Jedi... Too good for the tournaments." Panel 25: Anakin holds his face and says, "Jedi don't believe skating is about competition or profit." Panel 26: Palpatine smiles and says, "A noble sentiment from an esteemed organization. You'll find they have their flaws." Panel 27: Palpatine continues, "If you competed, you would never have to worry about housing, health care..." Panel 28: Anakin looks up at Palpatine and says, "Health care?" Panel 29: Padmé bursts in on the conversation holding a skateboard and a first aid kit. She yells, "Anakin!"
Panel 30: Padmé crouches down in front of Anakin and asks, "You alright?" Anakin says, "Yeah." Panel 31: Padmé opens the first aid kit and says, "That's going to need a few stitches." Panel 32: Padmé inspects a needle and thread. Panel 33: Palpatine holds up his phone and says, "Ms. Amidala, perhaps we should escort Anakin to a—" Panel 34: Padmé interrupts Palpatine while applying a bandage to Anakin's face and says, "I'm a licensed paramedic." Anakin echoes her and says, "She's a licensed paramedic." Panel 35: Palpatine gives them a sharp look of annoyance. Panel 36: Palpatine smiles and says, "Lawyer, community organizer, and paramedic?" Panel 37: Palpatine continues, "My dear, perhaps if you had more time to manage your skate park," Panel 38: Padmé looks back over her shoulder at Palpatine while he finishes, "then such creatures would not terrorize the skaters." Panel 39: Maul is grinding his caster board on a pipe leading out from the tunnel. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka are in pursuit. Panel 40: Obi-Wan closes his eyes. Panel 41: Maul notices the end of the pipe is on the edge of a cliff.
Panel 42: A bird's eye view of Obi-Wan and Maul on the pipe headed towards the edge of the cliff. Panel 43, 44, and 45: Obi-Wan attempts to wedge the front of his board under Maul's caster board, but Maul uses that as leverage to jump up and off the pipe, leaving Obi-Wan to plummet over the edge of the cliff. Panel 46 and 47: Maul is holding onto a rock and looking down at Obi-Wan falling off the cliff. Panel 48: Ahsoka sees Maul trying to climb up the rock he grabbed onto. Panel 49, 50, and 51: Ahsoka kicks her board up and off the pipe and lands on a rock near Maul's rock. Panel 52: Ahoska leaps towards Maul and kicks his caster board out of his hand.
Panel 53: Ahsoka lands near the pipe. Panel 54: Ahsoka gives Maul the finger. Panel 55: Ahoska turns away and Maul disappears. Panel 56: Ahsoka offers a hand to Obi-Wan, who is hanging off the edge of the cliff. Panel 57: Ahsoka pulls Obi-Wan up. Panel 58: Obi-Wan walks away saying, "I must report this to the council." Panel 59: Ahsoka rolls her eyes and says, "You're welcome!" Panel 60: Back in the tunnel, Palpatine gives his card to Anakin and says, "Think over what we discussed. Panel 61: Anakin looks awestruck and takes the card and says, "Woah..." Panel 62: Anakin looks down at the card and says, "Wait..." Panel 63: Close-up of a black business card with nothing on it. Panel 64: Padmé says, "It's black letters on black matte..." Panel 65: Padmé says, "...What a dick!"
