Alton Kastle was a Human male journalist who worked as a broadcaster on HoloNet News on the planet Lothal. As a broadcast journalist, he helped spread propaganda for the Galactic Empire, including propaganda about Wookiees[4] and local unemployment rates.[5] He was noted for being impeccably dressed.
Equipment[]
Because of his affiliation, Kastle wore a gray-blue variant of the Imperial uniform, complete with black boots, belt and gloves. However, he wore an Imperial media badge badge rather than a military rank plaque,[7] had a Holonet News patch under the left shoulder, and carried two code cylinders on the left side of the chest.[8]
Behind the scenes[]
