Biography
The enraged Rick menacingly stands with his electro riot baton
In 9 BBY,[1] Rick was stationed as the door technician of Imperial Post 8L-055 on the planet Koboh. During[5] his[4] tenure, the Jedi Knight Cal Kestis attacked the post and killed many of Rick's colleagues. When the Jedi entered a corridor leading to a turbolift up to the Summit Ridge,[5] the enraged[4] Door Technician confronted Kestis, crying out and charging at the Jedi in the hopes of earning a promotion and commendation if command were watching.[5]
Although Rick believed that killing him would be easy, Kestis slew the Door Technician before continuing on.[5]
Personality and traits
During his confrontation with Kestis,[5] Rick believed it was his one moment to shine and was ready to be promoted. He was filled with rage[4] but underestimated Kestis.[5]
Equipment
Rick wore white and black scout trooper armor with a black harness. In combat, Rick used an electro riot baton,[5] with which he stood menacingly[4] when he confronted Kestis.[5]
Behind the scenes
Rick the Door Technician appeared as an optional[6] boss in the 2023 Respawn Entertainment video game, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.[5] He was voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.[4] Despite having a name and a health bar similar to other bosses, Rick has the same stats as every other scout trooper encountered in the game.[5] It is also possible to avoid killing Rick the Door Technician, skipping the boss fight entirely.[6]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on StarWars.com (backup link) dates Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which equates to 9 BBY per Star Wars: Timelines. The events of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, including Rick's death on Koboh, must therefore take place in 9 BBY.
