Background: Morad Sumar was a human male who lived on the planet Lothal during the Age of the Empire. In 4 BBY, he owned a farm on the outskirts of Kothal city and was an old friend of the rebel Ezra Bridgers parents. While on a grocery shopping trip, Ezra encountered Morad, who operated a fruit stall in the Kothal market. Morad gave Ezra a jogan fruit but could not sell the boy a Meiloorun fruit since the species did not grow on Lothal.

Shortly later, Morad was visited by the Imperial Supply Master Yogar Lyste, who wanted to buy his farm. However, Sumar refused to sell his land to the Empire. Unwilling to let the matter rest, Lyste revisited the farm with three Imperial Troop Transports and a contingent of stormtroopers. When Morad protested that he was not changing his mind, Lyste smugly responded that the Empire was no longer interested in buying his farm and ordered his men to raze the farm. Morad, his wife Marida Sumar, and their Aqualish helper were then arrested and loaded into the side compartments of a Troop Transport.[4]

While traveling on the plains of Lothal, the Imperial transports encountered a stolen TIE fighter, that had been stolen by Ezra and his rebel companion Garazeb Orrelios. When the transports opened fire on the TIE fighter, Ezra managed to leap onto the central transport. Using the Force, the young Jedi apprentice freed Morad, his wife, and their helper from their restraints. The trio jumped into the grassy plains at Ezra’s instruction and fled. Meanwhile, Ezra stole a crate of meiloorun fruit and escaped with Zeb.

By 2 BBY, Morad and his wife Marida had joined a rebel cell led by Ryder Azadi, the former Governor of Lothal. By then, Morad had found work as a factory worker at the Imperial Armory Complex, which manufactured vehicles for the Imperial Military. There, he was referred to by the call sign Worker 5473. Under Ryder’s direction, Morad sabotaged Imperial vehicles, leading to a high rate of accidents. That year, Morad, his wife, and the Ithorian bartender Jho attended a night meeting at Ryder’s stone circle in Lothal’s wilderness. The rebels were joined by Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, and the astromech droid Chopper, members of the Spectres who had since joined the Phoenix Cell, which was part of the galactic-wide rebellion against the Empire.

Upon seeing Ezra, Morad observed that the boy had grown and told him his late parents would be proud. Morad and his comrades soon learned that Ezra and his companions were on Lothal to enlist help from another Rebel cell to remove the Imperial factory on Lothal. Morad and his wife cheered upon hearing this news. Ezra also informed Morad and Ryder that their contact Fulcrum had provided them with intelligence that the Empire was building a new type of weapon and that the Phoenix Squadron needed to know what it was before committing any attack. Morad suspected the tightening of security in the factory’s Section A2 was linked to the weapon and agreed to help Ezra and his rebels comrades infiltrate the factory.

Morad obtained workers’ overalls and hoods for Ezra and Kanan the following day. Chopper was also disguised as an Imperial courier droid. After arriving, Morad and his rebel allies were summoned for an assembly convened by Governor Arihnda Pryce, Agent Kallus, and Lieutenant Yogar Lyste. The factory was visited by Grand Admiral Thrawn, who had been dispatched by Imperial High Command to investigate the high rate of malfunctioning vehicles produced by the Lothal factory. Thrawn gave a speech criticizing the workers for their poor craftsmanship and summoned Morad for a test demonstration on a 614-AvA speeder bike.

When Thrawn asked Morad if he had been pressed into the Empire’s service, Sumar confirmed that this was the case after losing his farm. Sumar also professed to take pride in his craftsmanship. Since the speeder bike had been the last vehicle that Morad personally inspected, Thrawn ordered him to demonstrate how quickly it could reach maximum speed. Morad got on the speeder with little choice and powered up the engine. As he began to accelerate, the speeder slowly began to overheat. Morad recommended they shut it down, but Thrawn urged him to keep going and accelerate the stimulator. This caused the overheating engine to explode, destroying the bike and killing Morad.
