There are burden of exciting things come with the release of Rogue One : A Star Wars Story but high up on that list is K-2SO , the surly droid voiced and motion - capture by Firefly ’s Alan Tudyk . The doer dropped a few new details about the droid ’s history and his less - than - gay personality .
In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly , Tudyk dismiss a few more hints about his sure to be popular character . Like , for example , Kaytoo is seven feet , one inch tall and was formerly a security droid for the Empire . An enforcer and safeguard , hence the size and demeanor . He ’s since been reprogrammed to be a crony to Rebel headwaiter Cassian Andor , play by Diego Luna .
The character also has an English emphasis , because Tudyk saw that as a big difference between the Empire and Rebellion . “ I finger like a lot of the majestic lineament are English , and the Rebels tended to be like Han Solo , you recall of the Americans , ” Tudyk told EW . “ And because he was a droid , it made sense that it would be more of a right accent . ”
If you followed thenews at Star Wars Celebration Europe , you may bed that Kaytoo ( as he ’s called by his friends)is a fleck of a curmudgeon , described as an “ old person ” by Tudyk . “ He can say insulting things very casually if he thinks they ’re unfeigned , ” the worker added .
The droid does n’t really feel or parade emotion , unlike some of his similitude .
“ He ’s not an overly emotional guy , ” Tudyk said . “ He ’s not like C-3PO , who ’s like a blooming neurotic mess . He ’s flappable . Kaytoo is much more in the unflappable category . ”
And finally , Kaytoo and Cassian have been inseparable for several eld by the metre Rogue One starts .
“ They ’ve been around . They ’ve been together for a while , a couple twelvemonth , ” Tudyk enunciate . “ He require what Cassian wants . He loves Cassian , because he freed him . It ’s also more paternal in that [ Cassian ] gave him life and convey away the bonds of his programming . ”
Odds are we ’ll see more of Kaytoo soon as there ’s a young Rogue One trailer hit the Internet on Thursday .
