It's Star Wars! If they're sitting around eating breakfast discussing the day's agenda for too long, bust a squad of goons in on them! The goons may happen to know just the thing they need to move them forward. It works like that in the movies, too.
They could trek through the forest and encounter the ewoks just fine without any sort of action or push to make things exciting but just as it looks ike the heroes are going to trudge on, they get into a speeder bike chase. A leisurely departure from Mos Eisley turns into a firefight and escape from Star Destroyers. A boring flight to a repair station becomes a roller coaster ride through an asteroid field.
It doesn't have to be quite so action-packed. When Luke and Ben first meet Han Solo, they could have spent hours getting to know one another with a q&a but Stormtroopers showed up as if the GM was saying, "Get a move on." no fighting ensued but, just by showing up, the heroes got off their butts and moving.
