Wick Cooper

Wick Cooper, also known as Mr Cooper, was a wealthy customer of the scavenger family, the Freemakers. He lived in the Wheel's upper level and at one point owned an antique N-1 starfighter. Mr Cooper was annoyed when Zander took his ship on a joyride and wrecked it. As compensation, he took Zander's Blazemaker starship only to have it explode. Despite the poor service provided by the Freemakers, Mr Cooper still sent a speeder bike to be serviced by them. Later, he encountered Kordi Freemaker and Princess Leia Organa Solo, who pretended to be cleaners at his penthouse while on the run from Estoc and her stormtroopers.

The joyride
Wick Cooper was a wealthy man who owned a penthouse on the upper level of The Wheel, a space station. During the Age of the Empire, Mr Cooper once sent his antique N-1 starfighter to be serviced by the Freemakers, a family of scavengers and starship mechanics. Cooper then gave Kordi Freemaker a list of excessive demands including double-steaming his engines, repairing his astromech droid, and washing the heat sinks with pure Kamino water. Meanwhile, in the garage, Kordi's younger brother Rowan Freemaker and their B1 battle droid Roger tried to hide the starfighter from his mechanic older brother Zander; knowing the latter's reputation as a drag-racer and a starship aficionado.

Despite the Freemakers' best efforts, Zander managed to take the starfighter out for a joyride. When Mr Cooper entered the garage to see his ship, Kordi claimed that it was in the back. After taking Mr Cooper back to reception room, Kordi offered to pay extra attention to his ship with Rowan offering a wax job. After Kordi and Rown returned to the garage, Mr Cooper sighed and wished he had taken the ship to Theed Hangar instead. While the other Freemakers waited for Zander to return, they tried to distract Mr Cooper by pretending to repair his ship. Meanwhile, Zander was captured by the Imperial Star Destroyer Vendetta.

While Kordi and Rowan went to rescue their sibiling with the fake Jedi Naare, they left R0-GR behind to keep Cooper company. During that time, R0-GR regaled Cooper with passages from his draft autobiography From Trenches to Wrenches: The Roger Story. After reaching the 26th chapter which dealt with the Battle of Kashyyyk, an exasperated Cooper demanded a cup of caf. Seeking to lay out the red carpet, Roger gave him his favourite drink: a cup of motor oil. Cooper found the taste horrible and went to the toilet. Meanwhile the Freemakers managed to recover the N1 starfighter with much difficulty following an encounter with Darth Vader, who took the vessel for a joyride.

The Freemakers managed to bring the N-1 starfighter back to their Wheel garage but it was wrecked by Zander's adventure. By that time, Cooper was irate with Roger, who had read him 26 chapters of his autobiography. Upon seeing his wrecked starfighter, Cooper was furious with the Freemakers. Zander claimed that he had taken the ship for a test flight but that the Imperials had stolen it. As compensation, the Freemakers offered him their other ships. Seeking to spite Zander, Cooper settled for Zander's prized Blazemaker starship. He took the ship for a joyride but it exploded because Zander had forgotten to fix the fusion tubes. Cooper managed to bail out of the ship and warned that the Freemakers would be hearing for his lawyers.

Encountering the Princess
Despite the poor service provided by the Freemakers, Mr Cooper still sent his speeder bike to be serviced by them in order to save money. This time, Zander managed to control his impulses. Shortly later, the Freemakers were visited by the rebels Princess Leia Organa and her brother Luke Skywalker. While trying to outrun the Imperial officer Estoc and her stormtroopers, Kordi, Zander, and Leia fled to The Wheel's affluent upper level. They disguised themselves as cleaners, with Kordi wearing a pot, and found themselves at Mr Cooper's penthouse.

Believing them to be his cleaners, Mr Cooper gave them instructions to vacuum and clean his home. He was a tedious employer and reprimanded a disguised Kordi for missing a spot. When Mr Cooper made an offhand remark about the destruction of Alderaan, Leia threw him out of the house. Kordi then removed her pot disguise and identified herself as Kordi. Shortly later, the real cleaning droids arrived. However, this caused Cooper to recognize Leia and alert Estoc and her men. The rebels managed to trick the Imperials into thinking they had died by sending their Y-wing starfighter out as a decoy.

Trip to Naboo
Wick Cooper travels to the planet Naboo to visit the Theed Royal Palace, which has been transformed into the "Emperor Palpatine Museum". He jumps queue and tells the cashier that he is a loyal Imperial citizen and wants to go on an exclusive tour of the museum.

Personality and traits
Wick Cooper was a haughty and condescending man who liked to make excessive demands from those who worked for him. He was an impatient man who was bored by Roger's memoirs. Cooper was also a vindictive man who liked to hurt those who had hurt him. Despite despising the Freemakers, he still sent his vehicles to be serviced by them to save costs.
