In the 2007 book "Death Star" by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry, which is now in the non-canon Star Wars Legends continuity, it is revealed that the stormtrooper who yells "Open the blast door!" after Han and Chewie escape it as it was closing, is named Lt. Commander Nova Stihl. He was a proud stormtrooper who enjoyed his job until the Empire destroyed Alderaan, as they used a weapon in their arsenal, not against actual enemies, but against a planet populated by innocent people. In that scene, he was actually pretending that he couldn't open that blast door back up in order to allow Han and Chewie a chance to get away. Also, he, and a number of others introduced in the book, made a plan to get away from the doomed Death Star and join the Rebellion.
