I could dig it as a pilot for a TV show. He spends 10 years sowing distrust between the Empire and the Sand People. Occasionally sabotaging imperial records and patrols. Maybe a quick jaunt over to Ored Mandel. Using an old radio to keep track of the progress of the various rebellions. The occasional run in with dark force users who have detected the virgence in the force centered around the young Skywalker.
