Join JTA as we count down to the premiere of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Every day we'll be spotlighting a character from the new film. Today is K-2SO.
Profile
K-2SO, (sometimes spelled Kaytoo Esso or Kay-Tuesso), was a KX-series Security Droid originally created for use in the Galactic Empire's armed forces.
At some point, however, the droid encountered Captain Cassian Andor, a member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, a resistance movement that sought to overthrow the Empire and restore democracy. Andor was able to reprogram K-2SO to serve the Alliance.
Along with a band of roguish Alliance operatives, K-2SO went on a daring mission to steal the plans for the Empire's moon-sized battle station, the Death Star.
Production Quote:
“Kaytoo is a little bit like Chewbacca's personality in a droid’s body, He doesn’t give a s--- about what you think. He doesn't fully check himself before he says things and does things. He just speaks the truth.” - Gareth Edwards
