Following the Empire's fall and the rise of the First Order, Luke Skywalker vanished, remaining absent for a considerable duration. Following an intense and dedicated effort, the Resistance believed they possessed a navigational chart that revealed his location. Poe Dameron, a highly skilled pilot within the rebel forces, alongside his droid companion BB-8, journeyed to Jakku, seeking a long-time ally of the Resistance who was entrusted with delivering the map that would guide them to the Jedi Master.
The sudden emergence and aggressive actions of the First Order compelled Poe and BB-8 to part ways. The pilot was captured and imprisoned, but the droid successfully evaded capture. While wandering through the Jakku Desert, BB-8 encountered a youthful scavenger, whose actions would prove pivotal in the events that unfolded subsequently.
