A dragonsnake sleeps in the Dragonsnake Bog on the planet Dagobah, with a fish smiling behind it. Suddenly, a T-65B X-wing starfighter, Red Five, lands atop the dragonsnake, waking and hurting the creature. The X-wing partially sinks into the water, and the rebel pilot Luke Skywalker disembarks to survey the scene.
Still aboard the starfighter is an R2 series astromech droid named R2-D2. The dragonsnake looks on angrily until the pilot calls out in anguish, as the droid has fallen into the swamp. The dragonsnake dives underwater to clutch the R-series droid in its mouth, brings him to the surface, and spits him out. The dragonsnake and R2-D2, now safe on dry land, wave goodbye to each-other.
