Trooper, designated TK-421, was a stormtrooper serving the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. He was stationed aboard the first Death Star, specifically near the detention block holding Princess Leia Organa.
TK-421's primary role was maintaining order and security within the station. However, his inaction during a crucial moment led to the escape of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca, disguised as stormtroopers.
The reason for TK-421's failure to report the unauthorized stormtrooper presence remains somewhat ambiguous. Han Solo, impersonating an officer, famously inquired about his inactivity, stating "TK-421, why aren't you at your post?". This line is memorable due to its ambiguous nature and whether it revealed a prior indiscretion.
What happened to TK-421 is unknown, but given the Empire's strict disciplinary measures, it is assumed his inaction likely resulted in severe punishment, possibly execution.
