When it comes to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the Andor Series, few characters have been loved like sarcastic and loyal K-2SO droid, dubbed by Alan Tudyk. But fans who expected more than droid Andor They were surprised by his limited role.

Before Tony Gilroy took the reins Andorcreative such as Jared Bush AND Stephen Schiff They were developing different versions of the series. According to Tudyk, those first drafts included a much larger part for K-2SO.

In an interview with the playlist, Tudyk shared: “I would have had a more important role overall. When it went away and then changed, I was disappointed, but I can’t think that it would be better than Andor. It is completely different and so beautiful.”

Tudyk continued: “It would probably have been closer to what we are used to with the current Star Wars series, right? Which can be fantastic, but it seems very different. It seems that it is completely different, and it is so beautiful. “He also noticed,” too K-2 could change Andor‘calculation.”

While K-2SO appears briefly in the final episodes of season 2, the fans had hoped to see more chemical between him and Diego LunaCassian Andor, but Gilroy’s vision focused on a more gritty and more rooted history of rebellion and the expanded role of the droid did not adapt.

Tudyk recalled that experience, saying: “The script was changing while we were shooting. He was bizarre, but it is so with many great films and Rogue One It wasn’t very different. Tony Gilro’s rewrites made him more concentrated: cut the scenes, tighten scenes and concentrate the hero’s journey of everything. “

He added: “We were always dying, so it didn’t look like a drastically different film, but the changes gave each character their moment as hero”.

Both Rogue One AND Andor they gained praise from fans and critics, distinguishing themselves as some of the strongest Star Wars Stories in recent years.
