Biography


The stormtrooper was killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The stormtrooper was killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

This human was serving as a stormtrooper at the time of the Galactic Civil War. During the trooper's service in the Stormtrooper Corps, the plans to the Galactic Empire's secret superweapon, the DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station, were stolen by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Princess Leia Organa, a member of the Rebellion, received the plans, but was forced to hide them in R2-D2—an astromech droid—when her starship came under attack over the planet Tatooine. R2-D2 and his counterpart, the protocol droid C-3PO, flew via escape pod to the desert planet, and came into the possession of a young moisture farmer named Luke Skywalker.

Aided by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Skywalker took the droids to the Mos Eisley spaceport where they sought a pilot who could transport them to Alderaan. After searching Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, they were met by the stormtrooper, who asked to see their identification. Before the soldier could react, Kenobi drew his lightsaber and cut the trooper's blaster. The Jedi then used the Force to crush their antagonist with a large piece of metal, killing the stormtrooper.
