Why Rick the Door Technician Could Be the Darkest Villain in Star Wars Jedi Survivor

In Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, players have been speculating about a fascinating theory put forth by an online gamer that casts Rick the Door Technician as a true villain. Despite the game being released recently, discussions on Respawn's title continue to thrive.

What makes Star Wars Jedi: Survivor even more engaging are the intriguing boss battles, and the unexpected confrontation with Rick the Door Technician is no exception. Though easily defeated with a single lightsaber strike, Rick's appearance follows a grueling segment of the game. Once his boss bar appears, players brace themselves for another challenging battle, only to realize that Rick charging towards them is not what it seems. While not exactly a hidden character on the game's typical path, the twist still manages to surprise and impress gamers.

Redditor Superextremeplayer9 proposed an intriguing theory that all the locked doors on Zeffo were the handiwork of Rick the Door Technician. The suggestion seems plausible as Rick is not a skilled combatant and must bring some value to the Empire. This theory would add more depth to Rick's character, making him a more formidable adversary than he currently appears. In fact, it was recently revealed that Rick the Door Technician in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor caused 489 player deaths, proving he is already a challenging opponent. Some players in the thread were so intrigued by the theory that they even attributed other activities to Rick, with one suggesting that he could have kept Leia locked on the Death Star if not for Cal's intervention. While the Star Wars fan base has proposed numerous wild theories over the years, this one may be a step too far to be entirely believable.

There is uncertainty surrounding the possibility of Rick the Door Technician's return, given his fate at the hands of Cal Kestis. However, in the world of Star Wars, it's not uncommon for characters to make unexpected comebacks. An official Star Wars Jedi: Survivor DLC release could provide answers, but Respawn has yet to confirm any plans. As the game continues to perform well, it's possible that Respawn's stance on the matter may evolve. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor can currently be played on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
