What Happened When LUKE SKYWALKER Went to LOTHAL for the First Time?-In Charles Soule's Star Wars comic series (Star Wars 19), Jedi-in-training, Luke Skywalker has acquired a list of Jedi sites, after R2-D2 found the list in an old Imperial archive. As the Rebel Fleet has come together following the events of the Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker is torn on whether to stay and help the Rebel Alliance or travel to the Jedi sites on the list. Luke Skywalker conferred with Leia, who advised Luke to trust his feelings and the force, prompting Luke to part from the Rebel Alliance for a time and visit the Jedi sites on the list. Luke and R2-D2 began their journey, setting out to visit each of the Jedi sites on the Imperial list. Luke Skywalker and R2's first stop brought them to a familiar planet of importance to the Jedi and Jedi Order, a planet sacred o the Jedi and Jedi Order-that planet being Ilum. After traveling to Ilum, Luke and RS-D2 made their way to Arashar and then to the planet Lothal-the homeworld of Ezra Bridger and a planet that was once home to a Jedi Temple.This would mark Luke's first time visiting Lothal, and something quite interesting happened when Luke Skywalker and R2-D2 arrived. So what exactly happened when Luke Skywalker went to Lothal for the first time? Lothal was a planet in the Outer Rim Territories. During the early years of the Galactic Empire, Lothal was in a state of economic disrepair and invited the Empire to take over the planet's industries, with the promise of prosperity and security. Although many people said the Empire would bring doom, the ones preaching new jobs and prosperity were vindicated. By 5 BBY, Lothal became the nesting ground for the Spectres, a small rebel cell which operated from the starship Ghost. After harrying Imperial forces and disrupting Imperial activities for at least a year, the Spectres eventually attracted the attention of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin and Darth Vader, who tried unsuccessfully to stamp out these rebels. Vader even imposed a blockade on the planet, but the Spectres managed to slip through and rejoin the larger rebellion.

Star Wars 19 is the nineteenth issue of the 2020 comic series Star Wars. It was written by Charles Soule, illustrated by Marco Castiello and Rachelle Rosenberg, and published by Marvel Comics on December 8, 2021.
