Plot summary
While the Resistance is busy maintaining their base on D'Qar, their droids are cutting and digging through the jungle of the planet. In an attempt to help, BB-8 tries to cut off a branch of a tree, but vines manage to grow over him and then he is suspended high in the air. Noticing his mishap, the other droids try to help free him and as they pull, the vine streches and then catapults the BB unit far into the darkness of the jungle. Droids carelessly celebrate their partial success. After his short, uncontrolled flight, BB-8 lands in a tree nest of long-necked birds, which peck him inquisitively. BB-8's fall down is long and meandering, including getting tasted by a giant plant for a moment. Even though the tiny droid reaches solid ground, his antenna is bent. Fortunately for him, a strange creature jumps out to meet him, giving him a good lick, straightening the antenna out. BB-8 is lost and frightened somewhere deep on D'Qar.
