@@jacobcox4565 true, he’s gonna say that the jedis aren’t hot shit, they’re just space wizards with light sticks and are afraid of close quarter combat.
"I thought the Empire was the good guys. I thought the Jedi were all just terrorists, but... A Jedi spared my life, cared more about a lowly Tech than the Empire ever did! What am I supposed to think now?" -Rick
It’s funny people think the canon ending is Cal beats Rick but in reality Rick beats cal, gets a promotion from door technician to inquisitor door technician, single handedly defeats all the inquisitors, beats Vader, overthrows palpatine and becomes Rick the emperor door technician and brings peace security and freedom to his new empires doors
I like to imagine he became Rick, Soldier of God from Elden Ring (context: the actual boss name is Solider of Godrick and its a tutorial boss but he turned into a community meme)
Why is no-one talking about the PERFECT framing of Rick as he's suspended over the pit, the music swelling, unsure if his reckless pursuit of the jedi will lead to his ultimate downfall, and then gets shown mercy and thrown to the opposite platform
"Hey my name's Rick, and that's me floating over an endless chasm of death inside this imperial base.... bet you're wondering how I got huh? I guess it all started when I saw this Jedi messing with one of my doors...."
Not even just that, the fact that it specifies that he's a technician means that he's not even expected to fight, and yet he still chose to were the armor and charge without fear, what a chad
Makes you wonder why the empire has these large gaps in the floor that a jedi can easily go over, but not a normal person. It's like they're asking for trouble.
Rick was a test of Cal's capacity for mercy. If spared, he is moved by Cal's kindness and begins a quest of his own: to become a door technician for the Hidden Path. May the Force be with you, Rick.
Rick groaned, every inch of his body aching. Slowly, he began to pick himself up, every fraction of a second seeming like an eternity. Finally, he stood, electrobaton in hand, and exhaled. The Jedi was on the other side of the gap between them. Under his flaming red hair, the Jedi’s sorrowful eyes seemed to pierce Rick’s soul. Abruptly, the Jedi simply turned and began to walk away, turning off his laser sword. Rick blinked in surprise-surprise that he was alive, and surprise that the Jedi wasn’t coming to finish him off. So, this was it? Rick felt his blood begin to boil. Jedi were supposed to be warriors, weren’t they? Well, this one surely wasn’t! “COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT!” Rick shouted after the retreating ginger. “Coward,” he muttered under his breath. The Jedi paused for a second, the droid on his shoulder beeping quietly. “My fight isn’t with you,” he replied, a note of sorrow in his voice. Rick blinked again. “You-you have a fight with the Empire? You got a fight with me!” The Jedi shook his head sadly. “I wish your bravery served a better purpose than being a puppet of the Empire. Maybe one day you’ll see.” Rick lowered in baton in confusion. “See what?” “The corruption,” the Jedi replied, finally turning around and hooking his laser sword to his belt. “The Empire’s tightening its grip on the galaxy. They don’t care about how many lives they sacrifice to fill their hunger of power.” Rick shook his head. “You’re one to talk!” he retorted. “The Jedi tried to assassinate the Emperor! You’re a traitor!” “I was a padawan when Order 66 came through,” the Jedi sighed. “Just a kid. And yet your Emperor was the one who ordered my clone brothers to gun me and my master down in cold blood.” “J-jedi lies,” Rick said, swallowing. “I’m not the one lying to you,” the Jedi replied sadly. “If you want the truth, you can find it.” With that, he began to walk away again. Rick stood there, breathing heavily. The Emperor ordered the Jedi kids killed? Involuntarily, he thought about his six-month-old son on Raxus. Surely the Emperor wouldn’t kill *children*- “Wait!” Rick called out. The Jedi stopped and looked at him. “How… how do I know you’re telling the truth?” Rick demanded. “Trust the Force,” the Jedi called back. “If you listen, it will show you.” “But I’m not a Jedi,” Rick protested. The Jedi smiled. “You don’t have to be. See you later, Rick.” With that, the Jedi walked away. Rick stood speechless for a long time before he sat down, speechless. He had been taught that Jedi were ruthless murders that used their abilities to benefit only themselves. Yet had one just shown him… mercy? Exhaling tiredly from exhaustion and confusion, he tore his helmet off his head. For a while, he stared into the visor, his reflected eyes staring back at him. He felt as if his whole identity had been shaken. Had the Empire been feeding him lies all this time? Or had the Jedi simply gotten into his head with those weird mind powers? He looked up. “How’d he know my name was Rick?” he murmured.
@@thevisibleconfusionist1784would there be any chance to show this to Respawn? I dunno, via Twitter or something? Have the chance to somehow canonize this? Because it's honestly too good.
The only person who recognized that the only way to win that fight is to refuse to kill an innocent who never had a hope to win. Frankly, this should be prerequisite for getting a good ending.
I thought a dedicated spare feature would be a good idea like imagine having dialogue options to talk people down or being able to spare them or like singling out the commanding officer of a group of enemy's sparing them and getting them to back off could work if they had alpha animals leading packs but maybe I'm thinking to far into it.
The determination of Rick is unreal, man rushes down a jedi by himself, gets slammed around, gets styled on, and then gets yeeted across a massive gap, only to yell at the jedi to "come back and fight"
Gotta give him credit for surviving that force slam from Cal. Pretty sure any other stormtrooper would have gone unconscious from that but Rick got back up and kept fighting. He gave that “I could do this all day” energy.
Yeah he's pretty much a reference to soldier of godrick, which is the really easy tutorial boss in elden ring who got memed by the community, which started calling him the soldier of god, Rick. So now he's as useless as he was in Elden ring but here he is Rick, the door technician
Little did Cal know that this one seemly act of mercy would forever scar Rick, who would see it as Cal not even thinking Rick was worthy of killing. For years Rick will mercillusy hunt Cal to the ends of the galaxy, becoming the worst enemy Cal will ever know
After his mission is done and the Empire is crumbling Cal will find Rick in front of him, weapons in hand. "You took everything from me!" Rick says enraged. In confusion Cal simply replies: "I don't even know who you are."
Rick was a good door technician. He knew his duty was to not only fix, but defend the door. Cal respected Rick. Of all the foes Cal would face, Rick was the most honorable. So Cal honorably defeated Rick but spared his life out of respect.
As Rick was spared he met a girl, had a son. He told his son about his experience as a technician and this inspired the son to be like his dad and he got a job working on Star killer base and that is the story of Matt the Radar Technician.
If I were a Respawn Dev and saw this video, I’d create an update in which Rick the Door Technician will show up later in another scenario in which you can spare him, and if you do that, shows up again, so on and so forth… until he appears after the “final boss” as a secret final boss… but it turns out he is greater than force sensitive, he is Door Sensitive… every door that has appeared in the game is now at his beck and call… do not underestimate the power of the Door Side.
@@SethiKinsGaming Yep. Like while the death star is blowing up, he could be in a nearby space station reading then be like "Did you hear something?" to the guy next to him.
Actually, that was his twin brother, Mick the door destroyer. After mick the door destroyer destroys the doors, he comes and fixes them but it is already after you have left the area.
rick, being the only stormtrooper to actually fight a jedi and survive, would go on to be a grizzled veteran, and command his own platoon of ruthless scout troopers that was highly skilled in close combat against jedi. until he eventually goes MIA during the battle of jakku, never to be heard of again.
That was truly a fight, and one that he survived and the holovids will prove that he threw down with a jedi. He can tell his grand kids about that. He probably got a promotion to garrison commander so gets to still go home to his kids. You really did that man a solid.
by hanging him off the cliff, cal showed he could easily kill him but true to his jedi way spares the door technician whom did not understand his mercy at a time and told to come back and fight, only years later would he understand the kindness of his gesture and how lucky he was to survive.
Rick deserves the same fan treatment as Boba Fett: Canonized for the total badass he is, and allowed to experience adventures beyond this point of his life!
How did you manage this? Rick the door technician is one of the hardest boss i've ever fought in any game so far. His power is so immense it could shatter minds and break reality!
**Fast forward to the era of the New Republic** **Jack walks down to the river bank in rural Space Montana; an elderly man (Cal Kestus) is hunting space ducks with a blaster)** Jack: Excuse me, you Jedi Master Kestus? Kestus: Do I know you? Jack: Forgive me for startling you sir, I have a message for you. My name is Jack Door Technician, you knew my father. (Kestus pauses, and then laughs to himself.) Kestus: I see... I remember your father. Jack: I've come for you Kestus! Kestus: And you boy, have sure as shit found me. (Kestus wades out of the river and onto the riverbed, blaster in hand). Jack: You didn't kill my father! Kestus: **smiles** **STAR WARS THEME PLAYS AND CREDITS ROLL**
After seeing a video of cal just force grabbing rick and just stabbing him with a lightsaber i am always expecting it for some reason and it makes me laugh everytime
I remember finally making it throught the fight in the hanger before the elevator in grandmaster. 1hp remaining hopping i'd find a place to heal before another encounter. I see this dude and with the boss health bar and the music I thought I was done for. I panick and just throw my lightsaber and one shot him. Total emotional roller-coaster
I struggled through that hanger fight, and had to turn down the difficulty. I even then barely got through - limping past and then all of a sudden this new boss shows up. Imagine my relief when he turns out to be a one-shot kill. Cheeky developers.
Imagine how good that would be as a movie scene. The protagonist, having to fight the Jedi because he is told to, and then having the realization that Jedi arent bad after that tense moment of Cal holding him over the pit, but then throwing him away and sparing him "Cinema fr" - Martin Scorsese
Dude gets slammed into the ground and thrown across the room 3 concecutive times by a literal telekentic space wizzard with a sword that can cut through reinforced steel. First reaction when he sees him leaving: "COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT!! 😠" Rick is the kind of worker that keeps the business going.
Later Rick recognized that Jedis might not be so bad after all, and decided to join the players party. Unfortunetly now he isnt as strong as he has as a boss.
You see, THIS is what Star Wars is about. It's about those goofy little moments with some genuine sincerity behind them. Like, sure dude. Go ahead and try to tango with a space wizard with zero proper training. You're lucky he has a moral code.
Couple things: 1) I swore that this was photoshopped the first time I saw it. Turns out it's legit. His name IS Rick, and he IS a door technician. 2) There are How-To guides on beating Rick the Door Technician, because he's apparently TOO HARD for some people to defeat.
Cal: **starts walking away** Rick the Door Technician: "Come back here and fight!" Cal: **keeps walking away** Rick the Door Technician: " I HATE YOU!" Cal: "You were my brother Rick... I loved you."
Several years later, when Rick returns as a Sith Lord… Darth Rick: When we last met, I was but a learner. Now I am the master. Cal: Only a master at locking doors, Rick! Darth Rick: Lol that’s the point. *proceeds to lock all doors and forces Cal to go the long way around to unlock them.* Cal: NOOOOOOOOO-
@@thevisibleconfusionist1784 Lol! Reminded me of banter between Anakin and Obiwan in the Clone Wars: Rick: "That's just it, how can I become a master when I am only locking doors?!" Cal: "At least you are a master at locking doors!" Rick: "Very funny."
Little did we know this small act of mercy set into stone a series of events where the door technician is the protagonist of his own story, solving puzzles, fighting daunting opponents and even gaining new tech along the way to compensate for his lack of force sensitivity... All leading up to the grand finale, his final showdown with the Jedi who chucked him across the bridge that fateful day.
I’m glad his name’s just “Rick” and not something stupid like Borin or Wesserk, or some other made-up Star Wars name. They could’ve even changed the spelling to be Rik, but they didn’t. God bless them.
Star Wars canon has Rick surviving and joining the rebellion. He became door technician on the rebel flagship Home One, where he witnessed the battle of Endor. After the war, Rick became dissolutions with the ineffective governance of the New Republic and left to find his fame and fortune in the outer rim. Little is known of what happened to Rick the Door Technician until a journal was found in the wreckage of the infamous pirate Gorn Shards’ ship. The journal was mostly destroyed, but the final entry remained intact. It simply read: “Time to leave.” Dated five days before the ship was destroyed. With the signature Rick tDT at the bottom of the entry.
Rick is mad at Cal because he's been at every location that Cal's been and watched Cal break many doors only for Rick to have to fix them. Now Rick has the opportunity for revenge for all the broken doors. Rick screams, "You will not break another door!" and charges but all Cal hears is the gutteral scream of an angry door technician. "He will finally respect my hard work," Rick thinks as he swings his stun staff at Cal.
You're a storm trooper, your job is making sure the doors work, you see a guy with the weapon of a jedi and think "I'm taking him *DOWN*." He's got the self preservation instincta of a lemming but you have to admire his determination
