Kothal was a populated area found on the planet of Lothal. Within this settlement were various merchants and salespeople, one of whom was Morad Sumar. It was in Kothal that Garazeb Orrelios and Ezra Bridger pilfered a TIE/ln space superiority starfighter belonging to the forces of the Galactic Empire.
During the reign of the Galactic Empire, Kothal was home to a grav-ball team known as the Kothal Roughnecks. This team participated in a championship game against the AppSci SaberCats, a game that Zare Leonis witnessed while he was a student at the Junior Academy of Applied Sciences.
Tsoklo, a Rodian, ran a fruit stand in Kothal. On one occasion, he sold imported meiloorun fruits to Imperial forces led by Supply Master Yogar Lyste.
The town of Kothal is featured in the Star Wars Rebels episode "Fighter Flight," which is the second episode of the first season. Despite the episode explicitly naming the town as Kothal, both the "Fighter Flight" Episode Guide and the Databank entry for Morad Sumar on the website StarWars.com use the spelling "Kothar" for the town's name.
