Lor San Tekka stares at Poe Dameron through the heat of a Jakku night. Suddenly, a loud burst breaks the desert stillness. It's the First Order. Stormtroopers march into the darkness as Kylo Ren's lightsaber gives off a menacing glow. Lor's message, safe within Poe's droid BB-8, will help the Resistance defend the galaxy against this new threat. Poe sends BB-8 into the desert and joins the battle.
