Lars has been set up to spend a long time on Homeworld pursuing his own story arc with the Off Colors. Ordinarily a human would not be able to survive on Homeworld because there is no food or drinking water there. Gems don't need to take in sustenance to survive. As a human Lars would be incapacitated or dead within a week from dehydration.

Pink Lars, however, has been transformed into a being that no longer needs sustenance and can survive on Homeworld indefinitely. He has a way back to Earth that he can't use but others can. So Steven and the Crystal Gems can still support him by bringing him supplies and messages from Earth. To leave Homeworld Lars will either need a ship or a functioning galaxy warp. He has access to neither as he is in the bowels of the planet.

Finally Lars has connected with a group of gems who are so hated by Homeworld that they will be killed on sight if discovered. There are probably millions of Off Colors hiding out in the depths of Homeworld. Lars will meet these gems and win many of them over to him because he will protect them and he can lead them to safety.

Lars is on a Hero's Journey. He joins famous characters like Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Moana, Dorothy Gale, Ulysses, Gilgamesh, Moses and a long line of other heroes who have traveled this road. Lars has his mission to protect and save the Off Colors. He has been given everything he needs to fulfill that mission and his acceptance by the Off Colors as one of them will give Lars the affirmation and support he needs to see that mission accomplished.
