The story of K-2SO demolite of Andor was directly horror of science fiction and would have been fantastic

We all knew it Andor He was about to report the character Droid favorite by K-2SO fans, and finally happened in the wave of episodes recently published. But his original reintroduction was much darker than that ended on the screen. In fact, it was almost full horror.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Andor Creator Tony Gilroy Opened on a demolished concept that would have reported K-2 in the orbit of Cassian in a much more terrifying way.

Written by Tony’s brother Dan GilroyThe episode was to be an autonomous thriller who seemed to have come out of a Star Wars-The house infested with flavoro.

“Dan Gilroy wrote an extraordinary, completely autonomous episode that was episode 209. It was an extraordinary episode that was like a horror film.

“It was the story of K2. They had to bring this huge nautical ship to Yavin, and there was a KX unit that was trapped there in hunting. It was a bit like a film monster with K2.

“It was really nice. We couldn’t afford to do it. It was clarified that it was out of reach, so we had to abandon it and consolidate things.”

It seems that it would have been great! The concept would have had the rebellious forces that transported a huge oil tanker to Yavin just to find that there is a KX (like K-2SO) rogue droid on board.

Think AlienBut he exchanges Xenomorph for an imperial murder without emotions. It is a great tone, but the cost of giving it life meant that the episode had to be reworked.

Instead, Andor Season 2 adopts a more detained approach, even if the horror footprints are still there. K-2SO makes its first appearance in episode 8, “Who are you?” Not as a friend but as a cold officer during the Ghorman massacre.

A group of Droid Kx terrifies the peaceful demonstrators, who brutally shoot them in one of the darkest moments that the franchise has ever shown. While K-2 ends on Cassian and Wilmon, another protester named Samm slams into the droid with a transport, killing him.

Cassian recovers the damaged Droid and brings him back to Yavin, where in the end he will become his sarcastic and loyal companion from whom we know Rogue One.

K-2SO is completely reported online at the end of episode 9, “Welcome to the rebellion”. The last three episodes descend on May 13 and the fans are anxious to see how the history of the droid continues to take place.

While Lucasfilm gave Gilroys a vast creative lane, the budget constraints have still retained, which is a shame. But Gilroy and his team clearly rotated on a smaller scale and worked. It was not so beautiful in the original field.

Would you like that we would get the horror version of the return of K-2?
