Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has certainly made a great impression on audiences, and one of the fan favorite highlights of the film has to be Alan Tudyk's delightful performance as K-2S0.

In a new featurette for the film, Tudyk talks about K-2SO's origins, and the comparisons he will more than likely receive to the lovable and iconic C-3PO.

"K2SO is built by the empire and he was reprogrammed and is now Cassian's right-hand droid. I've heard him described as the anti-C-3PO."

Tudyk has enjoyed his time in the role immensely, comparing it to a live action version of what he used to do as a kid.

"This is great because it's like when you were a kid and playing Star Wars. Actual things are blowing up, huge things on fire, it's the best version for the kid that still lives inside of you."
