Star Wars: Alternate Designs For K-2SO & More Rogue One Characters Revealed

All films go through numerous degrees of script changes, theme tweaks, and character redesigns before they ever hit the big screen, and Disney and Lucasfilm's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is no different.

Many of these changing aspects of the film are covered in detail in the new collection The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is available in stores today. It's full of various concept images that were tweaked during development, including some for popular characters like Jyn Erso and K-2SO (via EW).

One image, in particular, shows the original group of rebels that was pitched. There was still a droid type, though eh looked closer to C-3PO than what K-2SO turned out to be. It also featured a bulkier alien named Senna, described as a "Chewie type," and another smaller alien named Lunka, described as "something that could skitter into an air duct, almost like a little thief."

There are also new looks at Jyn's ship and various designs for imperial soldiers as well as closer looks at what K-2SO could have looked like. You can find the full images in the gallery. The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is in stores now.

From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an all-new epic adventure.
