Plot summary[]
In the opening credits, BB-8 and a Star Wars ball lead the way followed by Rey, Maz Kanata, Finn, Captain Phasma, two stormtroopers, Ben Solo, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and three porgs.
Stuck in a web of a spider-like creature alongside a shape-shifter, BB-8 has cecently met, the two are only rescued by another member of the changeling's species. Their celebration is shrort-lived however, when the arachnid comes back to find them free of its trap. The three attempt to run, only to get pushed into a corner. Fortunately, BB-8 comes up with a brilliant idea to use his welding torch to scare the spider off. It works, and using their morphing abilities, BB-8's new friends also adopt the same tactic.
Now that the tables have turned, the shape-shifters turn into more BB units and after BB-8's example, they tie all of the predator's eight spindly legs.
The procession of droids set to find BB-8 in D'Qar dense jungle, where they had previously lost him, now finds that there are three of their round friend, demobilizing the spider. They join in the fun, tugging on the creature's legs, until it catapults it high up in the sky. There the creature lands in the nest of long-necked birds, which peck at its feeble body.
When it comes to BB-8's rescuers meeting his new changeling friends, they turn out to be a little too scary for the droids, which run home screaming in terror.

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary dates the construction of BB-8 to 5 years before the the Hosnian Cataclysm. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the the Hosnian Cataclysm to 34 ABY, the event must have taken place in 29 ABY. As "BB-8 and the Jungle Adventure - Chapter 3" features BB-8 and Phasma, who dies in 34 BBY per Star Wars: Timelines, it must take place in between those years.
