From what I can remember he wen into this portal with moles and that like gold and shiny things and beat the boss then got an item that allowed him to control the servant moles and he farmed items I think.

But before he dies he had already brought Luke into the whole equation who I am gonna assume was the 'new hope'. But in Rogue One, After being handed the death star plan...
