Role in the series
One day, Sumar was selling his fruits at the Kothal market where he saw Ezra Bridger, whose parents he had known. He greeted the boy who was looking for a Meiloorun fruit. Sumar explained that the Meilooruns were not grown on Lothal and therefore only rarely and at an appropriate price as export goods. Shortly after Ezra had said good-bye, Imperial Provost Master Yogar Lyste visited his booth to ask him about his farm again. Sumar dismissed him, whereupon Lyste went farther.
Shortly after, Sumar had returned to his farm when three imperial troop carriers reached the ground and Lyste appeared, explaining that the empire would take over the farm, even without his consent. As a demonstration, he ordered one of the vans to destroy the farmhouse with his guns. Sumar and his wife were detained and loaded onto a troop carrier, whereupon the convoy broke up. However, a passing TIE Fighter, under the control of Ezra and Zeb, flew in and dropped off Ezra who set the farmer and his wife free. But when he was told to jump, Sumar hesitated as he thought the trasnporter was going too fast. However, he overcame his anxiety and, together with his wife and another Aqualishan prisoner, jumped off the transports, whereupon Lyste drew attention to the fugitives and opened fire on them. Therefore, Zeb attacked the transporters with the stolen TIE Fighter drawing them away so that Sumar could escape.
