K-2SO Gets Spotlighted in New Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Featurette

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.”

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