- Darth Maul arrives on Tatooine. He sends out probe droids to search the spaceport.
- Watto and Qui-Gon talk before the race, and Watto mentions he's betting heavily on Sebulba.
- Qui-Gon wants a piece of that action and wagers his new pod against Anakin and Shmi.
- Watto won't part with both slaves, so he rolls a chance cube to see which he'll wager. Qui-Gon uses the Force to help the cube along. It lands Anakin-side up.
