At the age of 15 - and to this very day - this is the only Stormtrooper that ever stood out to me. He changed the course of the entire story. He overlooks that tiny piece - they leave the planet. He found it - so our story began.
I love the way the shot is framed - the desolation, the sound, the voice, all of it. A really fantastic scene that has moved me for 34 years.
His name is Waggo Borathyon. According to the EU he was the lost prince of a planet of sky-surfing hunters of giant flying fish. He returned to the Star Destroyer after saying "look sir, Droids" and eventually became enthralled in a conspiracy with an undercover rebel operative and the brain of an ancient Sithlord in a jar. He died 50 years later single handedly holding off part of an extra-galactic invasion by biological sadist aliens. His son is now a Jedi master working the reformed Empire.
See, doesn't the EU make everything cooler!
I laughed.
