Tk-421 TK-421 is the name of one of the stormtroopers who was guarding the Millennium Falcon from the movie Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope. He and his counterpart TK-422 were summoned up the ramp, and then shot by Han Solo. His armor was then taken by Luke Skywalker and used to sneak through the Death Star. Trivia In the novelization of the movie, the trooper was referred to as THX-1138, in an homage to one of George Lucas' previous films. It is unknown what, if anything TK-421 means. It is speculated that TK refers to the type of trooper, and 421 is the serial number for troopers of that type. TK-421 was the only stormtrooper to receive a designation in any of the 3 original trilogy movies. TK-421 has become an easter egg of sorts mentioned in various places such as the movie Boogie Nights. Quotes "TK-421, why aren't you at your post?" "TK-421, do you copy?" "Take over, we've got a bad transmitter. I'll see what I can do." External links
