Introducing Cooper

Introducing Cooper Trooper

I Am Cooper Trooper

Let me introduce myself. My name is Cooper Trooper. My assigned number is TK-8629. I served as a senior trooper in the battles on Hoth. I spent the majority of my time stationed at the Echo base. Before that, I spent a brief time of my service on the first Death Star. Just days before it’s destruction, I was transferred to the Echo base on Hoth. I consider myself one of the lucky ones.

After my service, I went into the reserves. For now, my assigned duties are simply to keep order and to monitor suspicious activities in my travels. It’s a very free life, which gives me time to see various parts of the galaxy. For the last year, I have been on Earth and have tried to integrate myself into the population, as evidenced by the photos I’ve posted here. I will also be posting other photos and video logs showing my experiences living amongst the people of Earth.

Learning to drive was a challenge, but I eventually got the hang of it

The people I am staying with own a scooter. Much slower than a speeder bike

It’s not easy to ride, but as with the car, I will eventually learn how

Mission Accepted

I was contacted by Norman and asked if I wanted to participate in his project of showing our integration in society. You can read his request here.

I will be moving my logs to a new location in the coming weeks, with an announcement of each new entry located here on this weblog, complete with a link to each entry.

I hope you enjoy them. I look forward to sharing them with the collective public.

    Excellent. :)
    However, I really think I am going to fail on the technical nerd jargon when I finally get mine.

    “Cooper Trooper” is awesome! Any significance to the TK enumeration? His name reminds me of Super Mario Bros. ;-)

    Welcome aboard, Cooper. Your mobility will be an asset to the cause.

  5. TSM Oregon says:

    Love it! Can’t wait to see what’s next! :)

  6. Ha, I love it. You better be careful, he looks awfully comfy on that Scooter, I think he’ll be fighting you for the Scooter Sunday posts.

    hello ha ha narf – Thank you.

    sybil law – No worries. We’ll help educate you in the way of LEGO nerdiness.

    kapgar – The TK number does have some significance. the 2 in the 29 means he was a senior trooper. The 86 is my birthday (Aug 6th). And you are the first to catch the homage to the Koopa Troopa in Super Mario Bros. You sir, are a true geek.

    karl – Can’t wait to see your trooper.

    TSM Oregon – Thank you. I have big plans for this little guy.

    kevin – Thanks, sir. And I’m sure he’s going to get good at riding the scooter. It will all be captured on video for Scooter Sunday episodes.

    LOL! I am surprised Cooper feels that he lives such a free life! He is one lucky trooper!

    *HE’S* the reason TK-421 wasn’t at his post. Think – Brokeback Death Star.

  10. martymankins says:

    kilax – Luck has been with him for many years.

    whall – LOL.. That means he can’t quit Death Star.
