Plot summary


Rey saves BB-8 from being eaten.

Rey saves BB-8 from being eaten.

After rescuing BB-8 from Teedo, Rey and BB-8 head towards her home. BB-8 points out a nightwatcher worm watching them on their journey. Rey orders BB-8 not to move, but after the worm moves towards them, she tells BB-8 to run.

The worm jumps out of the sand in front of Rey and tries to eat her, but Rey shoves her quarterstaff into the worm's mouth, so it can't close it. As they hurtle away from it, the worm launches the staff to them, which Rey catches.

The nightwatcher worm buries itself back in the sand and crawls towards them again. The worm snatches BB-8 between its teeth when it out of the blue leaps out only to go back underground. Rey follows its trail, so she can throw her quarterstaff at the worm to uncover it, causing it to spit BB-8 out. Rey catches him and runs up the All Terrain Armored Transport to safety. When she notes the nightwatcher worm is still hungry, she sacrifices some scrap metal on the walker to feed it.

Continuity


BB-8 asks Rey how she found him when the worm captured him under the sand. She replies that she doesn't know, and she must have "just been lucky," foreshadowing Rey's Force-sensitivity.
