While Cal twiddled his thumbs, waiting for Grogga to finish so he could get his credits, Owen was firing at some of the TIE Interceptors attacking the Ardent Liberty. He wasn't doing it to explode the starships, but rather doing it to weaken them so his companions' shots would do more damage. He flew around, only for a shot to hit his upper right wing, and as such send him to the ground. The X-Wing didn't explode thankfully and Owen hopped out of the cockpit, pulling R2-T5 from his slot so that the droid could come with him. Using his commlink, he tells his teammates: "I'm down, repeat, I'm down!"
